AUS Junior World Champs DH team announced
Mountain Bike Australia has named a 10 member Australian Junior Downhill Team for the UCI MTB World Championships to be held in Cairns, Queensland 5th-10th September.
The team includes junior National champions Baxter Maiwald and Ellie Smith and Oceania Champion Joshua Clark has also been selected.
