[Updated with Overall] Final Results from the Snowshoe DH World Cup 2022
The results are in from some wild racing at Snowshoe. In the Junior Racing, Gracey Hemstreet mastered the tough conditions to come out on top by just over three seconds. Pinkbike Racing's Aimi Kenyon had an incredible run to cross the line in second place and current World Champion Izabela Yankova finished in third. For the Junior Men it was once again Jackson Goldstone on the top step of the podium as he found over five seconds on Tegan Cruz. Sebastian Holguin Villa completed the top three, nine seconds off the pace. Pinkbike Racing's Jackson Connelly crossed the line in 22nd.
Camille Balanche backed up her top qualifying run with the win in Snowshoeas she managed to go the whole week without a crash. Camille's wild run placed her four seconds up on Myriam Nicole who had a big mistake in the third split. Nina Hoffmann wrapped up the top three, six seconds behind.
What a race for the Elite Men, the track was drying but it still wasn't easy for the final riders. After not even thinking he would race this week Amaury Pierron proved once again why he is the rider to beat this year pulling a first World Cup win away from Bernard Kerr. Mountain biking's fastest vlogger still managed to take his best results in 15 years of racing with 2nd place and only 0.4 seconds back. Andreas Kolb is another rider who is on it this year and takes another podium finish in third.

"Down he goes like a homesick mole!"
Freakin brilliant!
To make matters worse:
I always hold forth in verse.
But for all time, and not just this once:
It’s better than speaking in tongues.
Great guy.
And they are a bit less expensive than the competition too!

Looks like the only race is for 2nd place overall. What a year for Amaury.
Such a shame Redbull won’t broadcast juniors
Just get rid of pf bb’s already!
Third place in the boys to a Colombian who presumably hasn’t been racing in Europe judging by his plate number.
Kerr 1.4 seconds up ???
Winning isn’t winning if someone else lets you do it.
Also for a change, nice to *only* see 3 Frenchmen in the top 10 for the Elite Men's lol. They are so dominant!
Could have been the winning run...
Does he have a ride in the elite class next year?!
Huge time difference between junior and elite compared to most of the races.
Would have been 5th fastest quali time yesterday.
The track must have dried out
1st: Danny Hart
2nd: Ben Cathro
3rd: Antoine Rogge or Wyn Masters
