Danny Hart was victorious in Mont-Sainte-Anne, scoring his second World Cup win in a row, laying down a special run that pushed the limits of the course. The 24-year-old, also known as the Redcar Rocket, finished 0.669 seconds ahead of last man down the hill Aaron Gwin, despite Gwin clawing some time back towards the end of his run. With this win, Hart has bought himself a chance at snaring the overall title. Now all eyes turn to Vallnord, in Andorra…
With the 2016 UCI overall title standing on this run, there was a little added pressure for Atherton. Blasting through the speed trap at 73kph, it was clear from the start that she was riding on another level. As each split came up, she increased her winning advantage right up until she crossed the line with an 11-second lead. It’s been the perfect season for Rachel Atherton as she takes the 2016 UCI women’s overall title, with one round left to go.
