The weekend was wrapped up with Peaty taking Gold. The course was super rocky and filled with buck jumps with lines continuously changing as practice wore on.
After taking a bit of time off to prepare, Nathan came into World Champs having put in a considerable amount of training looking strong and focussed, which paid off in the end.

The race was held in sunny and warm conditions, but the riders had to battle with a course that was bone dry in some sections, and still very wet from seepage, in the forested areas. The off again – on again rain of the past week finally moved away overnight, with blue skies and bright sun appearing shortly before race time. The open sections of track dried out quickly, however, in among the trees the mud remained, forcing riders to carefully negotiate slippery rock gardens and rooted sections.
Mick Hannah (GT Bicycles), with 11 riders remaining, was the first to make … Read More »

Team Kenda Morewood had a spectacular weekend as Mitch Delfs takes 9th place at the 5th World Cup round of the season, in Maribor, Slovenia. Mitch Delfs was looking fast all weekend on the frighteningly fast track in Slovenia. Filled with an enormous amount of roots and natural doubles, and made slick by torrential rains on Saturday, Delfs smashed thought the rocks of the infamous rock garden, barely keeping to together.
