In a thrilling night under the floodlights at Val di Sole Tomas Slavik stole the win from Jared Graves to take the final 4x World Cup win of the season.

After two years of bad luck at Val di Sole Graves was determind to end his 4x World Cup career on a high. Gravey cruised through to the final with ease and was joined by fastest qualifier Tomas Slavik, Fischbach and Tatarkovic.

Gravey got the holeshot and was looking comfortable for the win, but that man Slavik never gives up and came out of the right hander after the pro line with tremendous speed which he carried over the logs and dived inside Graves on the left hander before the rock garden.

Gravey then binned it in the rocks while Slavik powered on to take the win with Fischbach in 2nd and Tatarkovic in 3rd.

Pat Campbell-Jenner was on a flier and should have gone further but Wichman sneaked past in the 1/4 finals putting him out.
Scott Beaumont 15th, Scott Roberts 25th, Tom Dowie 27th and Nathan Parsons 32nd.
From Twitter:
