Practice Day | EWS Sugarloaf 1

After two solid days of rain, the stages of EWS Sugarloaf felt like a very different place come Friday morning. But the heat was back, and they were drying fast. Many of the EWS pro’s emerged tentatively from their team pits with bikes shod in mud spikes and goggles festooned with tear offs ready to do battle with a set of challenging conditions in practice. With traction constantly evolving and grip being at a premium some were enjoying it more than others!

The stages here at EWS Sugarloaf flit between tight, tree-lined tech and wide open, piste section hooning - nailing the perfect practice speed was never going to be easy! As ever, the pro’s would only get one run of each stage before having to race it.

Don’t forget that you can watch the fastest runs from the EWS Sugarloaf Pro Stage right here, tomorrow evening before we go racing on the full course on Sunday. If today is anything to go by then it promises to be a good one!
