Yesterday he shared the video of the fall on social media, which gave him a bad bill on his ankle. With the start of the DH World Cup season in Lourdes, France, in just over a month, it seems unlikely that he will be back in time.
"This is not how I hoped the national champions would go. This incident on my run left me with a broken ankle that may need surgery this week.
I felt really good on the bike and all the tests here at the national champions were ready for the first World Cup, but I think now I will miss the first round in France. I'll keep you all updated on when I'm back in the saddle and ready to race again. Thanks to the two guys who took me down the hill and @ bennywilson9 for the video“—Troy Brosnan
Best wishes to Troy Brosnan for a very prompt recovery.
The results come from the Australian DH National Championships, with Connor Fearon, Ellie Smith, Remy Meier-Smith and Elise Empey taking the Elite and Junior 2022 titles.
Ellie Smith secured the women's national elite title with a victory of only 0,43 on Sian A'Hern (winner in 2021). Troy Brosnan was unable to defend his 2021 title because he didn't finish his run and instead it was Connor Fearon who dominated with a lead of over three seconds.
Connor Fearon has a great start to the season after signing up with Forbidden Synthesis.
