Dave is Ryding high
The Chorley 29-year-old was placed fourth after his first of two runs and held on to record the first top-10 finish since Scotland’s Alain Baxter in 2001.
Ryding said:“I am delighted. I am sure no-one expected a Brit in the top six.

“I really had to focus before the second run and give it everything to stay up the rankings. I was aiming to get a sold top 15 so sixth is amazing.”
Austrian world No.1 Marcel Hirscher extended his advantage from the first run to claim victory ahead of compatriot Michael Matt.
