Vaughan wins by eight seconds at Sugarbush
Bourque wins women's race
Gavin Vaughan (Team Giant/HBG) and Dawn Bourque (Rocky Mountain/Maxxis) were the big winners of the Gravity East Sugarbush Downhill this past weekend under what were near perfect weather conditions.
Sugarbush Resort, located in mid-state Vermont, hosted the fifth stop of the Gravity East Series. Despite its relatively remote location, Sugarbush attracted over 150 racers, far surpassing 2009 attendance levels.
All the major elements of a classic World Cup downhill course were represented at this year's Sugarbush course: fast brake-burning open ski slope, high-speed rock roads, grassy turns and bermed turns that slammed racers into tight, technical woods.
Off from the top portion of the course, racers made their way through a tight, wooded course section that started out with some maneuvering around trees. A slick off-camber stretch led to the rock face, which proved to be the place where racers would lose time if they made mistakes.
The course once again proved challenging to all racers including elite men's series leader Geritt Beytagh (Morewood USA) and the previous week's winner Snowshoe winner Ethan Quehl (East Coast Gravity Pros). Both had big crashes in their race runs. Winner Gavin Vaughan put in his work on the course and had his lines dialed. The pros enjoyed race runs of approximately four minutes.
Dawn Bourque (Rocky Mountain/Maxxis) continued her stranglehold on the Gravity East Women's series, winning her fourth race of the season. Karen Eagan of team Highland sits just a few points behind in second.
The next race on the 2010 Gravity East Calendar is the all new addition to the Gravity East Calendar at Killington Mountain.
