2012 UCI Downhill World Championship Final Results

ELITE MEN

Wow, interesting race today! Greg Minnaar showed his experience and absolutely dialed racing style as he lit up the course on his way to his first World Champs win since 2003. Gee Atherton and Stevie Smith rounded out the podium, less than 1.3 seconds behind. Aaron Gwin seemed to have gotten a mechanical near the top of the course, the nature of which is unknown right now (Update: Per Mick and Tracy Hannah, Gwin's brakes went out). Notable bails included Troy Brosnan's crash near the start, Josh Bryceland's unfortunate goof in a turn, and Peaty's mid-run tumble while on a real scorcher.

Your 2012 UCI World Cup Downhill podium finishers. Atta boy Greg!

ELITE WOMEN

Morgane Charre from France, a relatively unknown rider, took the big W in the women's race. Talk about a surprise! Emmeline Ragot, Manon Carpenter, and Floriane Pugin weren't far behind, all laying down times within two seconds of Morgane.

Count on hearing more about the young and talented Morgane Charre in the near future. She's a pinner!

JUNIOR MEN

France's Loic Bruni laid down an incredible run today in Leogang. Nicely done! Second place ripper Richie Rude was forced to do a rerun after a red flag went up on his first go. Would his final result have been different otherwise? Aussie boy Connor Fearon filled out the top three.

JUNIOR WOMEN

Congrats to Canada's Holly Feniak on her dominant win today. Her time would have ranked very well when compared to the Elite ladies. Tahnee Seagrave and Danielle Beecroft rounded out the Junior Women's podium.
