Bei den Herren siegte Greg Minnaar (Video) vor seinem Temkollegen Nathan Rennie.
Greg Minnaar: „I knew I made a lot of mistakes in the semi so I knew I could improve my time. What I tried to do is just save my legs for the bottom and I had a clear line to the bottom and I just got hard on the legs and went as hard as I could for the win, clean and simple!„
Steve Peat lag ebenfalls gut im Rennen, wurde aber bei einem Sprung kurz vor dem Ziel von einer Windböe fast von der Strecke geblasen
„I had a really good run all the way down and was felling pretty strong and pedaling hard at the last jump to jump it like normal but a big gust of wind just came and blew me off and I landed with a foot off, landed and slide sideways on the landing and just lost all my speed and came in a bag of s—t.„
