Flat pedals win… timed training at any rate. It seems the switch away from clipless suited Troy Brosnan out on the hill today as he put down a storming run in Leogang. He was four and a half seconds quicker than Remi Thirion with young Brit, Mike Jones, in third.
The women’s training was won by Tracey Hannah, who pulled out over a second on Manon Carpenter. Frenchwoman Marine Caribou was in third.
As always this means (virtually) nothing, with big names like Rachel Atherton and Aaron Gwin keeping their powder dry, but it’s interesting to see who’s up to pace early in the weekend in challenging conditions.
