Hill & Jonnier win Buller downhill
Flying Panozzo junior beats all but two seniors
Over 300 competitors, including almost all of Australia's top DHers, contested a tough and very technical international-class DH track at Mt. Buller in the Victorian Alps.
Sam Hill, 2005 Australian junior mountain biker of the year, was best placed in the qualifying (3m 27.38s) and easily bettered his time in the finals (3m 20.87s), almost 6 seconds quicker on a course which saw many riders do longer times in the finals. Sam's final time was 6 seconds faster than second place (Chris Kovarik) with Jarod Rando in third place (+7.02s).
Star rider of the day must have been Liam Panozzo (3m 27.69s) in U19 who would have placed in third place in Elite Men.
