Tracy Moseley (Trek World Racing) won the elite women’s downhill World Cup opener in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, on Sunday afternoon. The British racer finished ahead of compatriot Fionn Griffiths (Team GR) and Frenchwoman Emmeline Ragot (Team GR). The course had continued to dry out through the weekend, and by the time the elite women took to the track the conditions were near perfect. While the course had technical sections, it was primarily “pedally”, favouring riders that could put down power on the flatter, smoother sections through the middle of the run.
