This image is taken from the top of the cross country course and looks down on the mountain resort of Snowmass. Sweet. Sooo - the course wasn't so technical, just a bit rough with some high speed decents and a lot of climbing. Last years course was evidently better with a lot more singletrack.
Results:
Pro XC: 1st Geoff Kabush, 14th Roan
Junior Short Course: 1st Burry Stander
"FOLKS, just take a LOOK AT THIS ! ITS AMAZING,HE IS RIPPING THEIR LEGS OFF !! I HAVE NOT SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN YEARS, THIS GUY IS TEARING THE JUNIOR FIELD APART..." The commentators were having a field day at the junior Short course event - Burry put on an amazing performance for the crowds showing the yank kids how to ride FAST. Clearly in a different league, Burry made some really good contacts during his stay here in the states and his form is as good as ever. We look forward to seeing his performance at the World Champs next month.
FYI - Burry cannot race any UCI events in the pro category as this will disqualify him from being able to compete in the Junior category at the World Champs. I think Kabush asked the UCI to put this rule in the book !!! Seriously, he would have given the top Pro's a run for their money had he been able to race with them. My money is on Burry for at least a Podium at World Champs. Vat hom Fluffy!
