Boyer breaks through for maiden downhill elite victory
Under 19 racer Brosnan posts fastest time of the day
It has taken him more than a decade, but Newcastle downhill rider Rick Boyer finally broke through to claim the first national series victory of his career at the 2010-2011 Jayco Australian Mountain Bike Series in Hobart on Sunday.
After posting a string of podium finishes over the years, the 29-year-old importer flew down the Glenorchy Park track clocking a swift 3:16.76 to defeat fellow NSW riders Shaun O'Connor (3:18.44) and Rhys Atkinson (3:19.66) and take the points.
"I'm ecstatic, I'm really stocked," Boyer said. "This is my first victory in more than 10 years on the circuit. It has been a long time coming, but I finally cracked it."
"The track held up and it got faster as the weekend progressed. I knew I was confident in posting a fast time and it all came together in the end."
Boyer was the second last rider to come down the hill and had to wait patiently in the hot seat for local Hobart favourite Kaine Cannan to complete his run. But Cannan couldn't match him on the clock, crossing the line in 3:16.65 to finish in seventh place.
Former World Cup champion Nathan Rennie, who today competed in his first elite race since emerging from retirement, placed eighth in 3:29.27.
Current world junior champion Troy Brosnan actually posted the fastest time of the day, clocking 3:14.34 to claim victory in the under 19 men's event.
Leonie Picton took out the women's downhill race in 4:14.22.
