it was a blitzing day at Thredbo with Ryan Gilchrist knocking off some huge names including Connor Fearon, there’s little doubt he’s solidified his name as the up and coming rider in Australia. We look forward to seeing how he goes in a full EWS season this year and will keep you posted of his progress.
