Cannonball Festival - Day 3

Day 3a��the grand finale to wrap up an outstanding weekend of riding and it certainly didn’t disappoint! A legendary track, one that will beat you and your bike up if you don’t pay it respect! That said it is a blast if you get it all right…

Angus Maddern can handle the track, make no mistake of that!

Troy Brosnan had qualified first the day before so he was the man to beatA� but with such a stacked field of talented riders from Australia and overseas it was anyone’s race to win. In the woman’s Tegan Molloy had qualified first and was set to take the win in all the events she had entered.

Troy Brosnan qualified first but there was no shortage of riders that could win it! Including the one in front of him here, Sam Hill!

Tegan Molloy was on track to take a clean sweep of all the events after qualifying first.

With the final practice done and dusted it was time to race! There were a large number of contestants and the majoirty had a great time (there were a few crashes but overall it is a fair bet they still enjoyed themselves in the grand scheme of things).

Dare we say a few old hands of the game?!

It was great to see Jack Moir back riding fast!

As the times dropped and the speeds got faster it was both Tegan and Troy who both took the win. Conor Fearon came in second after a gnarly crash in practice up on one of the big senders. Sam Hill Rounded out the podium. Tegan was joined on the podium by Sian Ahern and Lisa Mathison.

Troy Brosnan won and took home the cheque for 5K.

Connor Fearon had a huge dig in the last practice of the day, he walked away with a huge graze. He overcame that and finished 2nd.

It was good to see a strong field of women, in the end Tegan Molloy took the win but there was some competition for her!

Well this rounds out the coverage from the 2015 Canonball festival, its been a superb weekend organised by Thredbo MTB team with non stop action all weekend long. If you haven’t made it out to this event definitely put it on your hit list.
