Not surprise for me, if we have an all AUS podium in dh too.
Canberra World Cup
- Thread starter Transcend
- Start date
and sam hill ?
have any problem?

So will we get a live broadcast from anywhere???
Where did you see that video?
Mind games, prob didn't do timed training session.
He only does 2 runs per weekend
ah misunderstood this was timed training, was thinking this was qualies. definitely looks like mind games, but hopefully rennie pulls something out of the bag, he's one of my favorite racersMind games, prob didn't do timed training session.

more damian and flipper crushing:
Excellent more litter greatness
Congrats to Graves...hopefully he is going to Austria finals...An Anneke upset again, she should be walking away with wins while Jill is out. Litter pic comments sure are grouchy, might have to change the domain to bittermag.com
I'd hope so, seeing how 2/3 of the field was Aussie. While it's not impossible, I'd be shocked to see the same for the DH final tomorrow.
Bummer no live coverage, but life goes on. I guess I get to sleep a little more this time around.
even though that is mildly sarcastic, its kinda true.Mind games, prob didn't do timed training session.

didnt he said with his "sneaky" lines he does his "race" lines only in qualy and finals, and sometimes once before qualies?
good to see strobel a few seconds off, hopefully we can get a US rider in the top 10
How can you have an all Aussie DH podium when Peaty is going to be on it as he has been pretty much all season? :biggrin:
I can see an all-Commonwealth podium since Peaty and Minnaar are likely to be on it. Hell, with Rennie it could be an all-Syndicate podium...very possible.
as have minnaar and gee pretty much
and both of them seem to do fairly well when pedaling is involved.
I predict one, maybe two aussies on the podium if rennie pulls through.
Does anyone on here know whether or not the DH will be broadcast. Coz it sucks getting up at 3 am only to find what you got up for is canceled!!
Seriously. I am also on the west coast in the USA and it does suck to get up at 3am and log onto the website and have it tell you that it is canceled. Atleast they could give an explanation and let us know if the DH will be broadcast.
Does anyone know why the coverage of the last 2 events had sucked? Earlier int he year i was able to see the events on time and with no issues. I hope everything resumes as normal for the finals. The championship is going to go down to the last race

It is supposed to be. I am trying to find out why 4x was cancelled. I talked to them about 2 hours before they were scheduled to go live and they were all dialed? Must have been connection issues on site.
Ok so here is the deal - internet connection on site was not enough to keep up the broadcast and they just couldn't sustain a connection to the servers in Europe.
They are working on DH but it is doubtful it will be live. Runs will be up within a few minutes of the end of the race, worst case.

Cheers for that....
DIRT video has cedric himself saying the Oz Commencal distributor brought him a new bike.
Litter says Cedric went to a shop and bought a stock bike.
Kovariks been looking good in these videos, man I hope he can put one together in the homeland...all his fontana training might pay off by the looks of the track
Hot
No, the local dealer (mal adjusted) in canberra supplied the bike.Cheers for that....

There was a group of guys who gave the chainreaction team a mangina salute today, was very funny.
Track is pretty muddy after a night of rain I have been hearing, can anyone confirm?
Few more photos up. http://www.transcendmagazine.com/gallery/canberra08
I will have updates coming in all day via text. Seeing as the live feed is down, and now the UCI site is down in it's entirety, I am guessing we will have no live timing either so I will be depending on texts from those on the ground in Aus to update the site.

Haha, when I first saw that photo I was like "what the **** is his hand doing THERE, that's ****ed up man!"
Then I realised my mistake
It's still drizzling now (8.30am)windy and cold. The track is wet but well drained and it doesn't have much clay in it so no real mud to speak of yet. we'll see after a few more runs.
The whole hill is exposed so the wind will dry off the track pretty quickly if it stops raining and should be dust free and tacky, but If it stays wet some bits will get slippery and very gritty, on the whole though it won't be too bad, Nothing like euro mud.
Thanks!
Rain has stopped, sun has come out, still looks patchy but promising.
if Matti didn't have bad luck, he'd have no luck at all. Hopefully it looks worse than it actually is and he's back soon.
Hope next season will be brillant for matti.
He sure deserves it after all this **** luck he's had

i donno, I broke my wrist on the second day, and it wasn't even healed yesterday. Took a small fall, and now the tendons are totally boned, I can't lift more then about a pound with it, can't spread my fingers or rotate my wrist, or blahblahblah. If he broke both wrists, I imagine he's done for the next couple months. Poor guy, I remember in an interview with him recently he was totally pumped about his 14th place and how he was on his way to working back up to the top.
I'm pulling for him, but realistically, if both of his wrists are indeed broken he's gonna be out for a loong time
come on matti get back on top and show everyone where u deserve to be.very unlucky all season but an amazing rider and really needs some things to go his way.
So much for regular updates.
Looks like the women are done:

Ah yes, "Semi-final." So it says if you follow my link above...
so basically whoever places higher between peat/gee and hill/minnaar will take 3rd and 1st respectively. gotta love the fact that its the second to last race of the year and theres still that much switching at the top level
Right, only the ones I posted went up before the top 10 was even done riding.
Also, the overall is getting closer by the run, so awesome. As a fan, this is quite possibly the best season ever.
