Sam Hill and Sabrina Jonnier opened the Down Hill Mountain bike season with big wins. Hill beat a host of top names by an embarrassing margin – three seconds to Julien Cammelini and four seconds to Steve Peat. For Jonnier however, the victory was much narrower. Just eighteen hundredths of a second separated her and hot favorite Rachel Atherton, who had won the semi-finals by a massive five seconds.
