Results from the downhill race at Crankworx Les Deux Alpes are now in! The event brought a close to what has been a great European stop of the Crankworx tour and visibly bigger than previous years in terms of teams present, spectators and big name riders.
Men
Unfortunately first place qualifier Wyn TV Masters punctured in his race run, which left the door open for the usual suspects. Frenchman Loic Bruni took the win and the €3,000 while compatriot Loic Bruni and Kiwi Sam Blenkinsop rounded out the top three.
1: Loic Bruni
2: Remi Thirion
3: Sam Blenkinsop
Women
In the women’s it was great to see a healed Myriam Nicole back on form and racing after her shoulder injury sustained at Fort William BDS earlier in the year. Fellow World Cup racer Tracey Hannah was just 0.028 seconds back in the runner up spot, with Emilie Siegenthaler finishing third.
1: Myriam Nicole
