    Well done lads. Ok only two in the top three but it was fun.

    4 place ran chain less for just about the whole thing.

    British world champions in elite men, juniors and women's category. Not a bad result.
    They all learnt to race in South Wales as well.

    That was one of the most utterly mental races I've watched in a while. In fact the whole season has been pretty incredible! Highlights have to be Gwin's tyreless run down Leogang and Neko's chainless run today! Not to mention Ratboy's run today hucking that finish jump to flat and still coming second with (presumably) a broken ankle. Incredible.

    Just saw that - ouch.
    According to Kathy Sessler - multiple dislocations and multiple fractures. Not surprising - was pretty much 30ft to flat!

    I got up at 3am this morning to watch the racing - and I was not disappointed. Phenominal racing throughout, Bryn Atkinson set the mens racing target for me and then it just steadily improved to Neko Mullaly and then went nuts from there on in. Ladies racing - top ten were great, gutted for Rachel not to make that top step, looks like Manon did her usual trick of coming good in the final third.

    Just great to watch. Looking forward to watching next season. In fact cant wait, I hope its as open and deeply talented as this year! Recover quickly Ratboy! Love watching that lazy style that some how ends up so fast.

    Just seen it was an all British podium in the women's race. Good result considering British tracks are so much shorter than what other nationalities have to train on.

    That was great to watch, so many were lucky to get away without injury, Mulally was amazing getting that result with no chain. Ratboy's ankle look a proper mess.
    The XCO was the best race this year too, Nino had a nasty off right at the end of the last lap.

    With that much compression, he's lucky he's got any balls left at all!

    I want to know if the frame broke somewhere too - that isn't just bottomed out that is bottomed the f*** out!
