Rider Photos: SA DH Champs 2016

This past weekend saw SA Downhill Champs taking place in Pietermaritzburg. In between the practice and race runs we caught a few of the riders and their rigs up on the mountain.

And in case you missed it Stefan Garlicki was fastest down the mountain in the Mens and Sabine Thies claimed the Womens title.
