Aaron Gwin will look to build on his series lead over Troy Brosnan of Australia when he competes in the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup downhill event in Leogang, Austria this weekend. Gwin won the season opening event in Lourdes, France and has followed it up with a fourth place finish in Cairns, Australia and a second place finish last week in Fort William, Scotland. The nine Americans that will compete in the qualifying round on Saturday also includes Luca Shaw, who has two top twenty finishes this year including a sixth place finish last year, and Eliot Jackson, who finished 14th in Cairns but did not qualify for the final last week.
