American Myles Rockwell defeated Nicolas Vouillozs eight-straight wins of the gold to become the men’s elite downhill World Champion in Sierra-Nevada (Spain) on Saturday. This is the third US gold medal.
Myles’ specialty was going fast and pedaling hard. Nico, a Frenchman, fell just before the halfway point and was just five seconds behind Myles (Myles). The time was just over four minutes. The tire was still soft, but it wasn’t completely inflated.
Brit Steve Peat took second place, another rider with the same style and style as Myles.
