Tough day for Reece Wilson. Top first split to ending up not qualifying, after a podium appearance in Ft. William. Highs and lows of racing.

The tires shown are 2.3 Minions which is standard fare still as the Wide Trail tires haven't become commonplace yet. The team here at RMB approves of this bike, weight be damned.
