Cedric Gracia has taken out the 3rd round of the NORBA NCS in Mount Snow Vermont.
Gracia had a small off in his final run, which ripped his saddle from his rails but in true showman style he remounted to flog the rest of the course to pip the "In form and hammering" Stomper (Nathan Rennie) for the highest step on the podium.
Rennie is truly riding at his best with a 2nd this weekend straight off the back of a World Cup Win in France and Mick Hannah looks like hes back from a shoulder injury and ready to start charging again after claiming 4th spot for Haro Lee Dungarees.
Our Jr World Champ, Sam Hill grabbed with another top 10 finish in 7th for Madcatz/Iron Horse with dark horse Joel Panozzo (WTB-Santa Cruz) sliding into 9th.
Once again, Aussies are all over the Top 10 at a NORBA which is awesome to see.
In the women's DH, Lunachix' Marla Streb took the win, half a second ahead of Trek-Volkswagen rider Mio Suemasa. Streb and Suemasa must have been seriously on it, as third placed Kathy Pruitt came in nearly nine seconds down on Suemasa's time.
Australian Tioga-Orange rider Tai-Lee Muxlow grabbed 7th place in the women's DH, another solid finish for Mux who is having a killer season.
In 4X news, Kovarik although not showing in the top 10 in the DH, took 2nd in the 4X just behind Mongoose-Hyandai's Eric Carter and ahead of Haro Lee Dunagarees Mike King and Kona-Clarks Fabian Barel in 3rd and 4th.
I'm not sure what happened to CK in the DH but stay tuned to Farkin for the goss and full results to come. Shows how versatile CK really is as he can podium both events at anytime.
Aussie 4X Queen Katrina Miller grabbed a 3rd place in the womens 4X event. Great to see.
Another great showing from our Aussie boys and girls in all events on the weekend, keep charging guys!
