Especially as the big favorite there is there absolutely is and we’re going to see here from the start that uh shriber went to the front as we always expect her to do beld also got up there really fast and um Zoe was into that first section in those first three so able to
Just control it from that point and uh zanova with the home crowd was uh also making at some point between this field and the steps uh shriber had an incident but backed was away and she never looked back from that moment everyone getting behind it and uh it’s trading those Junior titles for
That first under 23 uh title big moment following in the Wheel tracks of you say in this under 23 classification as well Eevee Richards two championships makes it a third for Great Britain and all the prep everything that’s gone in to this season for Zoe bads that equipment dialed in moving
Across from EF education tip Co svb into Canyon sham at the beginning of the season to make sure that she could race right through to these championships with the same equipment the same bikes from Canyon the same backup team and it has all been right down to this moment
And delivered but the battle between these two that was awesome the battle today was really in this in for this second and third spot with benfeld and zova and no matter what it was almost until that final lap we could not tell which one was going to be able to take
An advantage and and bentell tried Zan over tried um and in the end it was the home crowd advantage in the slight strength getting into uphill section that gave her that tiny advantage and uh back did one with ease but uh zanova was able to take that second spot with
Benfeld in third there’s your top 10 Zoe bsteadman for Great Brain ahead of Christina zanova the check uh title among Juniors you have now under 23 so how feeling about that um I’m over the moon I was if I admit it a little bit nervous coming into this one it’s been a
Really good season and I just wanted to top it off with this and yeah I’m so glad I could do it was it a difficult race yeah for sure I mean I’m again head to toe in mud and it was just like points where you’re almost stopping

It’s a pity this edit has come so close to the Oscars. Maybe a nomination for next year.
“Was it a tough course?” “Yeah…it was a lot of fun!” I love Zoe’s attitude!
