Clayton had a fall on his first ride (BE MY GUEST) and was taken to hospital... on writing this the only news I have heard from the Aussie Camp is that his is doing well and the check-up is standard proceedure...
Christopher Burton is just ROCKING IT - closely followed by Bill Levett and Paul Tapner, but be careful, I do believe there are some pretty amazing Kiwi's nipping at their heels!!! Sorry, had to add that cheeky remark...
LETS TAKE A LOOK AT SOME PICS FROM TODAY...
