4. Aaron Gwin
5. Mick Hannah
6. Sam Blenkinsop
7. Julien Camellini
8. Shaun O' Connor​

Stevie Smith bailed on a loose corner on the upper section unfortunately.
Mick Hannah came smoking down the course to take the lead, going 62 KPH through the speed trap! After a slew of unsuccessful conquerors Gee Atherton finally came down to unseat Hannah by 2 seconds. America's best hope for a win was Aaron Gwin, who was up by half a second at the last split, but lost 2 seconds on the pedally section at the bottom.

Next Cam Cole came absolutely hammering down the track, with a massive whip off the showtime booter. This showmanship might have cost him the top spot, but it was cool to see a racer having fun on the course. The penultimate rider was Sam Blenkinsop, who came down two seconds off Gee's time, a great time but he was visibly disappointed. After Schladming two years ago he hasn't been able to get back on top of the podium, but the young Kiwi has always been pushing for podium spots.

With Gee having never won at Fort William, the tension was palpable as Greg Minaar was the final rider to come down. As Greg flat out pinned the whole run it all came down to the final straightaway, where the time finally showed that Gee wold retain the victory on the home track!! An awesome week of racing that came together in the end with a hometown winner in Gee Atherton.

Don't forget you can select whether you want to see speed traps and splits using the panel at the top-right.

Items of note that jump out:

1) Sick Mick had the fastest bottom split in quali and again in the race.
2) Cam Cole had the fastest middle split of anyone all weekend
3) Bryn Atkinson's top split... 0.6 up on anyone else on less than 60 seconds of track?! Impressive if correct!
4) Who the hell is Dennis Dettell? (Fastest speed trap - 63.875
5) Jess Stone's speed trap (60.24) was beaten by only ten men!
