Bubby Upton has fallen on the Agria Blenheim European Championships cross-country course, as Britain’s nightmare day continues to unfold. As most combinations have, the pair brushed through the higher brush on their left, but “Finn” tripped on to his knees on landing, tipping Bubby off. Bubby Upton is the fourth British rider to be eliminated for a fall on Blenheim European Championships cross-country day. In the tranche of individuals around Bubby, Germany’s Calvin Böckmann, 24, put in the fastest round so far, riding The Phantom Of The Opera. Tom McEwen, who finished with 6.8 time-penalties, is the second fastest rider of the day so far and the one bright point for Britain so far.
