Dunne qualified third-quickest and then stepped things up for the final, going faster than the five-time world champion Loic Bruni
Downhill MTB rider Ronan Dunne has taken a big step forward in his career, with victory in round two of the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup on Sunday a huge marker for the future.
Dunne qualified third-quickest and then stepped things up for the final, going faster than the five-time world champion Loic Bruni, who had been leading the event. “I don’t normally look at the times, but this time I did. I saw the time Bruni scored and I thought, ‘okay, let’s get to it, we’re not bluffing’. I was ready to fight someone.”
“I had myself with the mindset that I’d go for a helicopter trip or coming down in first. We didn’t take the helicopter trip, we took the win.”
