The weather played a big role in how riders approached the track in Cairns and some would say that the chance between completing a good run (well, let's be honest, it was more the chance of completing a run with an incident) and winning was 50/50... in that case, why did those riders who are at top of their form finish top?
It was a great UCI World Cup Downhill event and I hope it's not too long until we have another again in Australasia.
