UCI World Cup 1 Vigo

Rock on 4X, rock on...

Vigo, Spain brings the first stop to the World Cup series. Peaty qualified first in the DH as Gee Atherton took the win in Mens 4X. Last heard that Mr. Marc Beaumont was in the DH hot seat completing his run on the dry track that is now filled with mud and hail from the afternoon rains. Some good news for Commencal with Dan Atherton taking qualifying in 4X and his bro taking the win. Romain Saladini takes 5th in 4X. Some sad news is that Commencal pretty girl, Rachel Atherton broke her arm and will be out for 6 weeks to recover. In womens DH, Sabrina the Teenage Witch took the win with an alomst magical gap, I'm sure she is hoping that her Sam will meet her on the podium. Well see. He has done it before, taking a win in 2005 with the worst conditions during his run and beating the mens field by 8 seconds. Bastard! On a side note: Kiwi QuikSilver, Sam Blenkisop qualified 10th with a 2:36. He will be giving alot of these vets a run for their money.
