Gracey Hemstreet is two-for-two in 2022. The Sunshine Coast racer landed her second World Cup win in as many races on Sunday, winning the junior women’s event in Fort William, Scotland.
The Canadian, racing for Norco Factory Team, was second in qualifying on Saturday. On Sunday, Hemstreet pieced together the cleanest run of the junior women’s field to finish in a winning time of 5:37.496.
Phoebe Gale (Canyon Cllctv FMD), Saturday’s fastest qualifier, led early in Sunday’s race. The British rider lost substantial time in the mid-section of the course, but held on for second place at the line.
Aimi Kenyon (Pinkbike Racing) finished third, 6.067 seconds back on the punishingly long Fort William course.
Hemstreet now leads the junior women’s World Cup overall by 20 points. Gale is second, with 100 points to the Canadian’s 120.
