Tracy Moseley wins DH World Cup overall

In the final race of the season the Kona Les Gets Factory team bid a fitting farewell to the 2006 World Cup Season. The finale was held in Schladming, Austria and both Moseley and Tatarkovic had a plenty on the line with Moseley fighting to keep the World Cup lead and Tatarkovic to stay hunt for the medals in the 4X World Cup overall. Tracy Moseley took the Bronze medal on this final day which was more than enough for her to finish out the season number one. But she was further off the pace than normal and it was apparent the stress of a long season was setting in. Still, she rode strong enough to take third. When it was all said and done, Moseley remarked “I’m really looking forward to taking a break now!” She completed a season by finishing in the medals at six straight World Cups and deservedly takes home the gold for the World Cup Series. Moselely was the hunted all season long and she rose to the challenge at each event. She handled all the pressure that goes with the leaders jersey like a true champion and along the way powered to the finest season of her career. Kamil Tatarkovic saved his best ride for last and at this the final World Cup of the season notched his first ever 4X World Cup victory. Tatarkovic was in a dog fight to make the top five in the World Cup overall and it was going to take best ride of his career and season to stay there. Tatarkovic did not disappoint by making the most of his skills on the tight and technical course which played to his strengths. As a result he ended up with a big win. With the victory and the tight points race, Tatarkovic vaulted to third place in the World Cup Series overall and walked out of the venue with Gold and Bronze hanging about the neck. He was consistent throughout the entire season and only fell out of the top ten in one event but for the most part was in the chase of the medals all season long. Tatarkovic too had the finest season of his career. We wish them the finest congratulations on an excellent season. None of this of course would be possible without the support staff that is so necessary for successful gravity racing. Once again ace team wrench Paul Walton kept the bikes and the riders rolling and showed he is one of the best on the circuit. Walton has been a big part of the success of the Kona Les Gets Factory team this season. He too can put the 2006 season behind him with a couple more feathers in the cap and deserves many congratulations as well. www.konaworld.com
