Nat'l Champs Down Under

Some where in the World it is warm, sunny, and summer time. Funny, that sounds just like Australia right about now...and they just held their National Championship race! Kovarik won, making it his 4th in total. Clair, Chris' wife and killer rider took the win in the women's race, but being Canadian was not awarded the "National Champion" title...as she is not an Aussie National. Troy Brosnan took the Juniors win. SRAM Australian MTB Championships – RESULTS Elite men – downhill 1. Chris Kovarik 1:56.03 2. Shaun O’Connor 1:57.52 3. Joshua Button 1:57.58 4.
