Australian National Round 4 – Awaba – Saturday Seeding

downhill247com Awaba Sat Brosnan1 — You have to give credit where credit is due! It may be a bit repetitive seeing the photos of the same riders over and over but when positions one and two put over four seconds into the field you have to take notice.
