Oisin O’Callaghan took a victory in Leogang, winning the Junior Men’s DH in 4:02.142.

 Other Maxxis riders also finished in the top ten in Elite Men’s DH. Jack Moir earned sixth place, Greg Williamson took seventh place, Troy Brosnan was eighth, and Loris Vergier rounded out the top ten. Vergier was first in Friday’s men’s qualifier.

 After taking first place in the women’s qualifier Friday, Vali Höll was injured during practice for Sunday’s main events and was forced out of the competition.  Maxxis wishes her a swift recovery and looks forward to cheering her on to victory later in the season.
