Cairns World Champs: Timed Training On Home Soil

In the exact same conditions as yesterday, green and gold dominated the elite timed runs today with Mick Hannah pulling out the fastest time of the day.

Mick was closely followed by Loic Bruni and Jack Moir in third. Sam Hill on the trail bike pulling out a solid twelfth place!

In the women, Tracey Hannah didn’t go as far as her brother but noone knows if anyone was pushing hard today. Tahnee Seagrave, Myriam Nicole and Tracey Hannah in one, two, three.

Junior Men was the strongest field today with four Aussies in the top ten. Newcastle local Josh Clark only two seconds behind Finn Iles in second. Harry Parsons took fourth while Ben Zwar and Pat Butler came in sixth and seventh respectively. Ellie Smith finished fourth in Junior Women, just ten seconds behind the leader.
