Tracey Hannah, Bronze medals in women's elite
19 year old Tracey Hannah rode the tough as hell Fort William course to claim herself a Bronze medal in the Elite world championships at her first attempt. Another medal to add to her Junior gold from 2006, Tracey is without doubt a name to watch out for and we predict it won't be long before she stands on the top spot of the podium. The women's sent was won by French woman Sabrina Jonnier. Rachel Atherton had a great run and came close to pipping Jonnier, but ended up with the silver. Crowd favourite Tracy Moseley, suffered a mechanical to roll in fourth. Orange riders in the men's race had mixed fortune. The weather became a big factor at the end, so the great seeding runs of Julien Camellini and Dan Stanbridge weren't such and advantage after all. The only riders who overcame the conditions were Gee Atherton and Fabien Barel, who ran defending champion Sam Hill's time to the wire. Brit Dan Stanbridge crashed with a front end wash-out caused by a sketchy moment that cost him his run. Julien Camellini had a good run for the conditions and placed seventh. There's more to come from both of these guys. Earlier in the men's junior event local star Chris Hutchens was the best placed Orange rider in ninth. The event was won in fine style by another young local hero Ruaridh Cunningham. www.orangebikes.co.ukLatest news
