I think Kyle got lucky with the weather changing right after his run, but it was a good run by him.

So stoked for Peaty tho, its been a while since he was on top of the podium.

flag crash23 (May 10, 2009 at 14:05)
He may have gotten a tad lucky, but still. Its good to see all of his hard work is paying off, who knows he might even crack a top 10 this year, that would be awsome.

flag naturalhigh (May 10, 2009 at 14:06)
It was a good run but the rain I think helped the top guys. From what I saw in the earlier runs some of the guys were having some difficulties hooking up in certain sections. We'll see if Kyle is really on it next race.

Here in Canada the bikers take partying a bit too seriously. We have some of the best mountains in the world but for some reason we only have 1 decent racer. Eventually you may see a Canadian on top, but then again Australia and GB are really the power houses in the sport.
