On Tap...

The Beijing Olympic Games wind down this weekend. The thrills and spills supplied by the inaugural running of BMX races earlier this week give way to the technical singletrack of Mountain Bike racing. The women's race takes place today with the men taking their turn at the Laoshan Mountain Bike Course on Saturday.

Presently, Germany's Sabine Spitz is riding away from the women's field. On Saturday, look for Switzerland's Christoph Sauser to take out the men's field.
