Tracy Moseley makes it 3 in the UCI World Cup Downhill Willingen, Germany
5 June 2006
Tracy Moseley has just won the 3rd round of the 2006 UCI World up series in Willingen, Germany and this now gives her a 143 point lead over second place on the day Sabrina Jonnier of France.
Moseley said "I am really pleased to have managed to win this third race in a row as I was not feeling very confident on the track this weekend. It was not a good course for me as it was so short and very man made, I prefer longer more natural terrain like Mont Sainte Anne last year.
Tracy is now resting in Leogang, Austria ready for another busy weekend at the 2007 Kona Product Launch and will then a week later be heading to Canada for the next round of the UCI World Cup in Qubec Canada.
"I am really looking forward to Mont Sainte Anne as I won there last year and I love the course!" Tracy said.
Fabien Barel had an ok weekend, he also like Tracy prefers longer courses with more natural terrain so this was a tough race for him, however he put up a fight and finished 7th split by just over a second to 2nd place!
In the 4X, Kamil Tatarkovic has a good race, he qualified 9th and ended up 7th, just loosing out going into the final and is now placed 5th overall after 3 rounds.
The team are now heading to Bikepark Leogang for the Kona 2007 Product Launch and will all ride the Top to Bottom Eliminator this weekend. Video of Tracy's win will soon be on konaworld.com so keep an eye out for it.

Ride Central venue change for this weekend
2 June 2006
The New Ride Central downhill series designed to encourage first-timers has had to switch venues at the last minute. This week's practice/race weekend takes to Churchill - due to circumstances beyond the organiser's control the venue had to be switched from Cheddar to Churchill at the last minute.
Ride-Central launched earlier this year in and around the south-west. It's labelled as an 'entry level' event, so courses cater for all abilities.
The format for the weekend is Saturday practice with racing on the Sunday. On race day, you get two timed runs following a three hour practice session, with prizes in all categories. There's live timing and results and we're assured there'll be top commentary. Racing costs £23 for U16s and £25 for everyone else, though pre-enter and you get a healthy discount. If you want a bit more practice on the course it's open between 10am to 4pm on Saturday. It's £12 for all ages.
