Aaron Gwin was dominant on Sunday winning the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup downhill event in Leogang, Austria by over three seconds. Gwin needed a couple minutes to take the lead on the clock but really pulled away down the stretch. With the win Gwin has a commanding lead over Troy Brosnan of Australia who finished in third. Gwin leads Brosnan by 160 points with only 200 points being awarded to the winner each week.
Things didn’t go as well for the other two Americans as Luca Shaw finished 36th and Eliot Jackson was 50th. Shaw is still 12th in the season standings.
The next UCI Mountain Bike World Cup downhill event will be in Lenzerheide, Switzerland on July 9th and 10th as part of a combined stop with the cross-country events.
