Cannonball MTB Festival presented by Boost is heating up for 2023!
The key event on yesterday’s schedule was the Official Seeding race for the highly-anticipated Oakley Australian Open Downhill event tomorrow. The competition was super heated with a massive number of international and national heavy-hitting riders taking to the course to fight for their position in what could be a make or break race at this year’s festival.
The stakes are higher than ever at this year’s Cannonball MTB Festival as riders compete for the Cannonball title and the AusCycling National Championship title in one race.
Yesterday saw Thredbo Ambassador Sian A’Hern take the number one seed in the Pro Women’s Division and international rider Jackson Goldstone in the Men’s Division. For the full seeding results, please click here.
