Today's event was the Hutchinson Dual Climb and only 10 riders showed up,
it was raining, and as a new discipline and creation of Crankworx Europe, it
pretty much sucks! The riders rode up, then down the course against the clock,
but the feel of it just didn't seem to mesh with the rest of the amazing events
in the week. We'll see if it has a future in the event schedule next year!

Early promises of sunshine were shattered as thunderstorms rolled in deep
and heavy just halfway through the field of qualifiers. The lightening closed
the lifts and events were postponed until tomorrow.
But fear not, we have action footage from this morning's practice, and
Steve catches up with 'Sik Mik' Hannah to describe the course in 3 words, and
let us know how his sister, another top world cup racer, Tracey Hannah, is
getting on after crashing yesterday and breaking her collarbone.
We also took time to catch up with some of the event's most experienced
riders to ask them about their best memories of Crankworx, as this is the 10
year anniversary of this insane event.
