Greg Minnaar has stormed to the top of the timed training sheet by three seconds this afternoon in Val di Sole to lay down a marker for his title challenge.
Elite Men
Minnaar put down a marker of 3:41.538 on the altered Val di Sole track to put daylight between himself and the rest of the competition. Gwin did his usual trick and finished well down the rankings in but, and it’s a big but, on one of his runs he was 1.5 seconds faster in the first section alone. Both these men mean business.
Second place went to Loic Bruni on one of the last runs of the session while Minnaar’s Syndicate team mate, Loris Vergier, finished third despite making up some time on the last two sectors.
Fourth place went to Amaury Pierron who’s been fast in timed training all year. While Troy Brosnann stuck in a late run for fifth.
