Following a night of slow, steady drizzle, the Stromlo downhill course has gone from dry and dusty to slick, sketchy and super slippery.Still, that didn't slow down riders in this morning's semi-finals, with international favourites Tracey Moseley, Rachel Atherton and Sabrina Jonnier (above) posting the top three fastest times in the Elite Womens category. Racing against the world's very best, local riders Caroline Buchannan and part-time Capital Bicycle Hire guide Claire Whiteman finished in 10th and 14th places respectively, with our good mate Leigh Douglas coming 19th.
Greg Minaar, Steve Peat and Australia's Nathan Rennie took out the top three times for the Elite Men, with a big field of 65 riders set to make for fast and furious final later this afternoon.
We'll post results for the finals - which begin here at 2pm - as soon as we've got 'em.
