Britain's Steve Peat has finally achieved his career-long dream and been crowned world downhill champion. His win at today's UCI Mountain Bike World Championship downhill event in Canberra, Australia means he will get to wear the coveted rainbow stripes for the first time.
The World Champs is the only win that has eluded Peaty in a racing career that has seen him at the top of the sport for more than a decade - he already holds the record for the most World Cup wins.
He beat Santa Cruz Syndicate team-mate Greg Minnaar by just 0.05 seconds with a time of 2:30.33 on the pedally course in Canberra.
Third place went to Australia's Mick Hannah (GT), while France's Fabien Barel (Mondraker) and Australia's Sam Hill (Specialized) rounded off the podium.
