Julien Camellini took his first win of the season at the iXS cup race in Pila, Italy yesterday.

Round 4 of the UCI World Cup was one of the toughest, craziest World Cups in the history of the sport. The most extreme track on the circuit was turned into a mud bath of thick gloop with the terrible weather we had, making it virtually un-rideable to all but the very best riders in the world.

A bright start to the World Cup weekend was followed by downpours and zero visibility in the woods... this is Champery!!

British National Champs, AE Forest & French National Champs, Val d'Isere

Matt reports for the UK... This year’s national champs where held at AE forest, with the track getting a revamp it had a mixture of all sorts varying from fast rocky sections, tight woods, steep switch backs and when all linked together made a hard course.
