Along with the rest of the Worlds Elite, Team GT hit Champery in Switzerland on the weekend to tackle the most severe and challenging World Championships ever. Marc Beaumont proving once again he is up there with the best, tackling the brutal conditions in Sundays race with a fantastic ride to take 6th place. Not so much luck for Mik Hannah who crashed to take 39th.

It's been an amazing year following such an close knit and fun team... check out the finals video from World Champs and follow Marc and Mik through the last, but toughest race of the year!

 Love seeing these vids--keep them coming! Mick is one of my all-time DH heros. Ever since he rode for Haro back in the day, I've dug his humility and tenacity. Good job to both!

 It's such a hard sport this, big up to anyone who raced the World Champs in those conditions.

 British videographer, British rider. This is the Champs where you ride for your country and not just your team. That probably has something to do with it. Hannah just doesn't seem to get the results either.
