Ulster man Colin Ross was King of the Mountain at the weekend after capturing his third win in a row at the Red Bull Foxhunt 2016 in Rostrevor, Co Down in record time. Superb riding conditions and a fast track made for one of the most memorable ‘mass start’ downhill races in Europe as a pack of 400 red-backed riders (‘the hounds’) tore down Slieve Martin in the Mourne Mountains in a bid to outfox two-time Downhill World Champion Gee Atherton (‘the fox’).
Gee overtook 399 other racers to hunt down Colin and was snapping at his heels for much of the race but couldn’t catch the eventual champion as he powered through the course eventually beating Atherton by over 30 seconds.
