Racing was good from all of the Saffas. Burry had a stormer of a race from a terrible start, to just outside the top 5 before crashing and snapping his handlebars. Phil Buys, was having a really good race but had 2 punctures which lead to him being lapped due to his major loss of time mending the tyres.
James and Rourke had really good races in the u23 Category, both just missed out on a top 30 position.
After the racing it was time to go exploring. I met up with Casey Williams from the USA, we jumped on our bikes and just went riding. We found ourselves approaching the border of France and Switzerland before turning down a single track that lead us back towards Champery. We then came across some of the steepest trails I have ever ridden or attempted to ride. Many of the place we were forced to walk. And then to top it off, we were told by the Downhillers that their track was WAAAYYYY more steep than what we had just ridden!!
