Freddy Carrick-Smith has become Britain’s first ever GS Europa Cup winner with a sensational victory in the French resort of Valloire.
Drawn in bib 48 and sitting 21st spot after the first run, 18-year-old Freddy obliterated the field in run two delivering the fastest second run in the field by a margin of almost 0.5s to rise 20 places in the standings and seal victory by two hundredths of a second from Norway’s Hans Grahl-Madsen.
