This weekend more than 20,000 spectators turned out to watch the MTB World Cup competition at Fort William, Scotland which, I’m told, was voted the best mountain bike event in the world 3 years in a row.

Greg Minaar won the men’s downhill event for the second year in a row and Sabrina Jonnier from France won the women’s title. Gee Atherton, who along with Greg Minaar, recently competed in the World Indoor MTB Championship :), took fourth in the real-world downhill competition.

In 4-cross, Australian Jared Graves took first for the men while American Jill Kintner won the women’s race.
