Santa Cruz Syndicate’s Greg Minnaar rode his signature Assegai tires to sixth place. Hart’s teammate Matt Walker, showing no sign that he’d broken his ribs just three weeks ago, took seventh place. Pivot Factory’s Edward Masters rounded out the top ten.

Every rider who finished overcame a track which had been made muddy by days of rain and became seriously slick in the lower, wooded sections.

In Elite Men’s overall standings, Hart, Vergier, and Walker are currently fourth, fifth, and sixth, and Wallace in eighth. Cabirou is third in Elite Women’s overall standings after Fort William.
