It’s pretty hard to find words for what has happened this weekend. After Steve had the best time in the timed trainings sessions and a pretty decent qualifying where all 5 riders have been able to qualify in promising positions all riders failed in their race runs, because of bad luck and technical defects.

Lewis lost his handlebars and almost crashed into a crowed of spectators. It took him a while to get back on track and lost too much time to end up in a better position. Both Filip and Brook failed because of a defect, Luke wasn’t able to pin it as hard as he wanted to and Steve went down really hard and almost couldn’t finish his race run.

Watch the replay of the race on freecaster.tv and check the complete results on uci.ch.

It’s hard to couch it in words how disappointed this weekend was for the whole team, but there is nothing we can do about it. At least we can show you some shots of the race by Colin Meagher:

Now we are leaving Fort William and are back on the road to Willingen for the “Wheels of speed” and the next UCI world cup round in Leogang Austria.
We are looking forward to the next races to annul the bad result of Fort William.
