Everyone was out and in fine form for the last round of the Victorian Downhill Series, the series had been a cracker and everyone was keen to ride Maldon, a small town about an hour and a half outside the city of Melbourne. Not too many people had ridden the track before and to everyone's surprise it was awesome. A short track, with the winning time in the low 1:50s, nice and rocky and resulting in many flats.
Super quick and flowy, the times were sure to be close, everyone was looking super pinned and looking for the fastest lines to take!

In the U19 Category, the top 3 places were super tight, and it was on for the overall. Trent and Dean had been close all season and getting very used to the podium!
But in the end, Dean was an 8th of a second faster than Trent and took the overall!
U19 top three:
Dean LUCAS - 1:54.0
Trent PIRIBAUER - 1:54.8
Jai MOTHERWELL - 1:58.1
It was a lot more interesting in the Elite Men, with the first 3 in the overall NOT even at the last race, the Panozzo's and Fearon were absent from this race, and gave other people a chance to see the podium for the first time for the season! Aden Wyver was looking pinned all weekend and so was Sticky Ricky! But in his race run, Aden Wyber came off in the bottom of the third rock garden and sustained a huge injury, sending himself to the St. Andrews tent straight after the race!
Coming down with a smoking time, and fastest time of the weekend, was Rhys Atkinson, who had only appeared at a few races this season and was no real threat to the overall, with the addition of some new comers to the Elite Podium this season!
Elite top three:
Rhys ATKINSON - 1:53.5
Chris WHITELOCK - 1:56.3
Lewis WINTON - 1:59.1
