Willemse takes Junior iXS European Downhill Cup

[Scott]

Rhys took the win in the Junior men with a time that would have landed him second in elite. Nick Beer dominated the elite men by more than 10 seconds. Laurie Dinham qualified 4th in juniors but a crash in practice saw him off to hospital with concussion. Hopefully nothing too serious there, get better Laurie!
