ICYMI: Richie Rude wins second straight men's title, Aletha Ostgaard prevails among women

Richie Rude is one of the best enduro mountain bikers on Earth, so perhaps it's unsurprising that he has now won two straight Garbanzo DH races. This beast of a course shows no mercy, but Aletha Ostgaard dug deep to unseat three-time champion Georgia Astle and top the elite women's podium. 

Professionals aren't the only ways daring enough to face Garbanzo. Mateo Quist went home with U19 men's gold, Ruby Wells lit up the U17 girls' contest and Mack Manietta excelled among U15 boys, as usual. 

These images can't substitute for the real thing, but they give you a vague idea of what it's like to experience a 13-plus minute downhill course.
