Tracy Moseley and Manon Carpenter are the 2011 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup Downhill series champions, following the final round in Val di Sole.


Moseley won the senior title following four wins in seven rounds - the reigning World Champion starting the season with two wins and never finishing off the podium - while Carpenter took the junior title, returning from a season-ending crash in 2010.

For Moseley it was a second career series title, last winning in 2006. A string of individual wins since always kept her in the frame as one of the world's best, but Moseley hadn't managed a consistent series - until 2011.

Following a breakthrough World Championship win at the end of 2010, a rejuvinated Moseley looked unbeatable in early season, ultimately taking the series title.

For Carpenter the overall win was payback for 2010 when she crashed out in the final round and missed the World Championships - which she will race in two weeks time in a bid for another junior title.

After Gee Atherton's World Cup series win in 2010 the series was baron of a British men's winner in 2011 - but there were breakthrough performances from the newest generation of British downhillers.

Danny Hart finished second in Val di Sole and Fort William, announcing his arrival on the international scene and Josh Bryceland took his career best result.

Atherton would finish third overall following some mechanical issues at two races, which cost second-place. But ultimately only Aaron Gwin was in contention for the series, winning five of seven rounds.
