British Series Round 2

[Tenacious Doug]

As always the pre-World Cup round of the British series got a good turnout of overseas riders en route to Fort William. Not sure of full results yet but from what I have heard....Peaty won by 2 seconds from Minnaar with Dan Atherton in Third, Rachel Atherton continued her dominance of womens elite and in what might be a bit of a warm up to the junior Worlds, Cyrille Kurtz won from Irelands Jamie Popham. The course was designed by the Athertons themselves.

Not sure about the 4X though I do know that the course was a bit of a monster and they were expecting times in the 40-45 second bracket on it!!

Here are some random pics I found, none of them pro snappers but you get the idea: www.mpjo.net/gallery/moelfre-2004

Well seeing as I am a DW boy...........
go Ben go Ben go Ben :thumb:

I heard he got 3rd but either way a good result.

[BrayDownhill]

baltic's a legend, it'd be unfortunate if he was beaten by jamie AGAIN!!! I think it was only one point seperated the two of them at the end of the last NPS in 03. Two good lads though.

Is Ben still on that shady old ATX this year??

[BrayDownhill]

no he's on a xs dh team, he apparently chopped the rear swingarm apart and lopped an inch off the seat and chain stays and re-welded it to make it even nippier with a shorter wheelbase etc. I think he has a couple of rear ends like that incase of any snapping issues!!! haven't seen it up close properly yet but it looks amazing.

The boy did it, 2nd.
