Aussies aiming for downhill dominance

Australia’s Mick Hannah made the most of his home-turf advantage to top the timesheets in today’s timed downhill run ahead of Sunday’s title race at the International Cycling Union (UCI) Mountain Bike World Championships in Canberra. Compatriot Shaun O’Connor was also quickest in the junior men’s event, on a course that had added grip in the turns due to overnight rain.
