Our national champs were yesterday, and here's dirtTV's offering of the race:

Such an awesome track. Most of it kinda brand new, certainly never raced before.
It helps that we've had a bit of a heatwave for the last couple of weeks in the UK, so it was bone bone dry. Dust so fine that when roosted it was almost like smoke.
Peaty cleaned up in seeding, which everyone was pretty stoked about. Awesome to see the old dog back on the top step... but when it came to race runs he crashed out and left the title for Gee to take. Rach took the women's too, so yet another double-win for the Atherton family this weekend.
Just thought some of you USA monkeys might appreciate a video of the biggest UK race of the year
