I saw her result on Pinkbike. That is AWESOME. Well Done Danielle! She should be racing the Australian Nationals, I'm sure she'd do really well. And great to hear about more girls getting into the sport.

Solid result. Always good to see a young aussie doing well but its great to see that we have women coming up in the sport as well getting some coverage. hopefully all the young riders coming up will continue to push the development of dh riding in AUS.

Why were no junior women selected for the world champs? Dani and Holly should be there
