West Australian Sam Hill has moved to the top of the World Cup downhill mountain bike rankings after victory in the second round raced at Fort William in the Scottish Highlands.
The 20 year old was second fastest in qualifying but clipped four seconds off that time to post 4min25.33sec for the final run. His time was 1.20sec faster than second placed Frenchman Cedric Gracia with South African Greg Minnaar a further second back in third.
