Kate Middleton left her husband and the future King, Prince William, trailing in her mountain bike dust yesterday, as the royal couple delighted the watching crowds in a Crankworx style Dual Slalom-ish royal family battle. Kate and William are known for their love of sports and jumped on mountain bikes for an impromptu MTB ride as they visited a Scottish charity.
