All right gents, Fort Bill is two things... WET and COLD.

The DH track is cut up beyond belief, super strong head winds this morning, none yesterday, but the head winds were strong on Thursday. So if the winds pic up or change they could play havoc in DH quali tomorrow.

4x was last night, Prokop was 1st in quali and he was flying and I mean flying, Rennie looked good, Lopes looked confused, Longdon had the best bail over the quad, that I have ever seen, funny stuff, I have it on video, might post it later.

The DH track is changing every run, so far I've heard that the Athertons are looking fast, as is Hill and Lehikoinen. The usual suspects really. The start list says Lopes is gonna ride the DH.
Whoever has the most energy come race time is gonna win it and that wind could play a huge part in everything. Mik Hannah, Peat, Rennie, Barel and Minnaar are the strongest in these conditions, but who knows? The sun is out and the XC is on now, the Women to be exact, so I am off to look at skinny birds in tight lycra.

If I can blag my way into this media tent again I will give you some more updates.

Slan Abhaile form Scotland!

That is not Kovarik! First of all, he wouldn't ride a rediculous pisspot helmet, and he's got long hair, this guy hasn't!

There is a another guy on the team that was sporting these wheels last year, probably him

Besides the fact that Kovarik cut his hair this year and has been sighted in a 'piss pot' helmet. You may still be correct though.

I think Lopes qualified a little slower than 2nd... I can see several people with faster times than his. His rank is 2.
