Troy Brosnan blasted onto the 2010 World Cup scene like a ton of bricks and showed no signs of being a rookie. Troy took his bike down the hill faster than any other junior on the World Cup circuit and showed a majority of the Elite field how to get down a hill FAST! In doing so Troy managed to win the UCI Junior World Cup Championship in his first year racing overseas and followed up with another World Cup win in 2011!

With the London Olympic Games less than a year away Australian Chris Jongewaard has made an encouraging return to the world stage at the UCI World Mountain Bike Championships in Champery, Switzerland. After a tumultuous couple of years and despite an interrupted preparation heading in, Jongewaard's return to mountain biking at the world championship level was greatly anticipated.

The Australian Championships will be one of the last big races before cross country attention turns toward the 2012 Olympics.

There is something for everyone, so make the short trip up to Eagle Mountain Bike Park, just off the freeway and watch Troy Brosnan shoot it out with Connor Fearon and the other young guns. Event schedule and all details on www.eaglechamps.com.au
