Austrian Nikita rider, Petra Bernhard has been a busy gal. During the summer months she competes every weekend! Last weekend was the European Downhill Championship in Caspoggio/Vallmalenc near Bormio, Italy.

Petra got 3rd on Saturday’s qualifications and was confident going into the finals on Sunday.

The weather was stormy and grey for Sunday’s finals. A thunderstorm rolled through leaving the course and muddy mess. The finals  were almost canceled due to the nasty weather but instead they decided to cut the course in half and run with it.

Wet and muddy Petra had a blast running the course. She finished second with no crashes and is now the VICE European Downhill champion!

Way to go girl!
