He has just beaten Sam Hill, Steve Peat and Gee Atherton in the first round of the UCI downhill world cup...and by some margin too. I recognise the name but I can't say I know much about him from the mags and t'interweb coverage. Anyone shed any light?

Hes been around for quite a few years and has featured on some of the Earthed series of films. I think hes always been 'up there' perhaps in the top 10 or 15, but hes maybe only won one or two world cup rounds previous to this

I've only really followed it in the last season so it makes sense I don't know much about him. cheers

he took a year out from competition and was questioning whether it was what he wanted to do
looks like he made the right choice!

I spoke to him in 2007 after the Mountain of Hell at 2Alpes in France - all round nice guy. Can't remember his finish, top 20 though (a completely different discpline to downhill btw)
Got a nice pic of him leading his qualifying wave out as well

seems he is back on form, good on him

Aussies don't get much of a mention in UK press?
