As Jordy Scott (USA) crossed the finish line, her style points boosting her ahead of Vaea Verbeeck (CAN) in the women\u2019s final of the\u00a0CLIF Speed & Style presented by Mons Royale, it was a win for her and a win for women in the sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scott becomes the first woman to win an international Speed & Style competition as part of the full Crankworx World Tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think it\u2019s awesome. All the young girls that are coming up are so ridiculously skilled. They\u2019re really pushing to get to this level. So being able to see that this is possible and to be able to have something to aspire to is so awesome.<\/p>– Jordy Scott<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Scott was throwing down tuck-no-handers and tire grabs, first beating Jill Kintner (USA), who would finish the night in third, before taking on Verbeeck in the finals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m super happy about it. This is my first time doing the World Tour for Crankworx. Air Downhill and Dual Slalom aren\u2019t my strongest suits, so it wasn\u2019t the best start to the week, so I\u2019m really happy to get some nice mid-week momentum going, and it\u2019s one of my favourite events. I just had a really fun time out there.<\/p>– Jordy Scott<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Scott finished outside the top 10 in both Air DH and Slalom, but tonight\u2019s points boost her up into fourth place in the Queen of Crankworx race. Kintner\u2019s third place points add to her lead, while Verbeeck\u2019s second place points push her closer to Kintner, with 60 now separating the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the men\u2019s side, the 2018 Speed & Style World Tour Champion was back on top. Tomas Lemoine (FRA) qualied first then charged all night, throwing down double-truck x-ups and flip double bar x-ups to beat Greg Watts (USA) in the finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Frenchman\u2019s win serves as a prelude to tomorrow\u2019s Maxxis Slopestyle in Memory of McGazza. In 2019 he also won an event the night before Slope. His 2019 win on the Pump Track in Rotorua led him in to a second place finish at Slopestyle the following day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite how last year turned out, he almost didn\u2019t compete today to prioritize Slopestyle training. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was like \u2018I love racing, I love Speed & Style, I will regret if I\u2019m riding bad tomorrow and I didn\u2019t do anything today.\u2019 So I thought I\u2019m just going to try and push to my limits to make it happen. I\u2019m stoked that it worked. I have a lot to do for tomorrow, so sleep early tonight and try to make it happen tomorrow.<\/p>– Tomas Lemoine<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The win tonight gives Lemoine his first batch of points in the battle for the King of Crankworx title. He is currently tied for sixth with Sam Blenkinsop (NZL) who won the Rotorua Air DH presented by Bosch on Wednesday. In the lead? Kyle Strait (USA) who won yesterday\u2019s 100% Dual Slalom Rotorua and came sixth in the Air DH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
