Junior rider Ollie Sinden was racing downhill in the second race of the 100 per cent Minidownhill series at the Forest of Dean.

Ollie’s first run went well, leaving him in fourth place and less than a second behind the rider in third place.

He was hoping to improve on this in the second race, but crashed towards the end of the run and ended up seventh overall.

Sunday also saw the final round of the Revel Outdoors Winter Series cross-country races at Shouldham Warren.
