After an 18-month break from competition, Mick Hannah returned to racing in full style at the Australian National Mountain Bike championships. The 25-year-old Hannah, older brother of former junior world champion downhiller Tracey Hannah, won the national downhill title ahead of BMX Olympian Jared Graves.
Hannah was competing in Canberra as a way to check out the World Championship course for September's event. "Being the way I am, I can't go into a race without trying to win," said Hannah to the Cairns Post. "But I would not have been disappointed if I hadn't won. I came to see what time I could ride and what I would have to do in training for the World Championships."
