A rainy morning couldn't dampen the spirits of the riders ahead of finals day at Red Bull Hardline 2018 in Wales. After a few practices runs, spectators headed trackside to watch the full qualifying session, which allowed only the top 10 riders to pass through to race finals. Gee Atherton put on an incredibly strong qualifying performance, reminiscent of his World Cup season, to qualify in first place. Kerr, who's always performed well at Hardline, maintained that run by qualifying in second.

AARON GWIN TAKES 5TH PLACE AT THE UCI WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS. Riding a prototype YT TUES 29er bike for only the second time in competition, Aaron Gwin took 5th place here in Switzerland in front of a raucous crowd of 20,000+ people. His team mate Angel Suarez was on a scorcher of a run that would have placed him 6th, but a front wheel wash out in the final sector put an end to a dream run.

Watch how Rachel Atherton won her fifth UCI MTB World Championship title in Lenzerheide, Switzerland.There is perhaps no better place for MTB racing than the Swiss Alps. Lenzerheide hosts the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup tour for the third time, with both DH and XCO races contested in the Men's and Women's divisions. The steep, short and intense track at the 2018 UCI DH world Championships in Lenzerheide, Switzerland, packed everything a Worlds track needs into three minutes, with plenty of roots, rocks and turns. A perfect day in the mountains greeted the fans who'd turned out in their droves to watch the races for the coveted world champion's rainbow jersey and place in mountain bike history. Going into the top five riders, Myriam Nicole was set to strengthen the French presence on the podium. On the comeback from a back injury sustained at the World Cup round in Val di Sole, Italy, Nicole knew what it would take to win on this track, having won there in 2017. Next up was British hopeful Tahnée Seagrave. Coming off the back of a World Cup season littered with wins, she had all the motivation to aim for victory. An aggressive start saw her up on the timing splits, but riding noticeably more carefully towards the end of the course, she was back on Nicole's times at Split 4. However, in a final bid for glory she managed to claw back that time and went into the lead just 0.69 seconds. Extending her blistering pace all the way to the finish, Atherton crossed the line nearly 10 seconds ahead of her competition to claim her fifth World Championships Gold medal and firmly cement her name in the history books.

Watch how Loic Bruni won his third UCI MTB World Championship title in Lenzerheide, Switzerland. There is perhaps no better place for MTB racing than the Swiss Alps. Lenzerheide hosts the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup tour for the third time, with both DH and XCO races contested in the Men's and Women's divisions. The downhill season signed-off in style at the 2018 UCI DH World Championships. The steep, short and intense track at the 2018 UCI DH world Championships in Lenzerheide, Switzerland, packed everything a Worlds track needs into three minutes, with plenty of roots, rocks and turns. A perfect day in the mountains greeted the fans who'd turned out in their droves to watch the races for the coveted world champion's rainbow jersey and place in mountain bike history. Defending 2017 World Champion Loïc Bruni had a mixed World Cup season, but you don't win the World Championship twice by luck and the Frenchman attacked the course on his run. He was on par with the split times of Maes as he came down the hill, and when he crossed the finish line his time was 0.213 seconds faster than Maes. We had a new race leader after Martin Maes lead most of the race. Aaron Gwin and Brook MacDonald weren't able to take the first place from Loic Bruni, and Danny Hart ended up coming third. This means a third UCI MTB World Championship win for the French Loic Bruni.

The Mercedes Benz UCI DH MTB World Cup reached its conclusion in La Bresse, France in less than ideal conditions. The rain that so affected qualifying the day before returned for finals, making the course super slick in places. This was no bad thing, with the track running faster than in qualifying as a result. For the Elite Women, the overall title still needed to be decided, while in the Elite Men's contest there was still the question of who would finish second to World Cup champion Amaury Pierron to settle, with up to five riders in contention for that spot. The weather started to clear up as the session went on, but this appeared to be at the disadvantage to the riders now coming down, as the muddy seemed to get a bit stickier. Times were slowing considerably, with huge amounts of time being lost by riders in the steep section in the middle of the course, where Maes had been incredibly fast.

The rising star of downhill mountain biking has dreamed of glory since she was 12, but last year she decided to change her approach. Find out how she put the fun back into riding and started winning, together with her family by her side.
