And the last one...Saturday morning, DH practice time.
We´re just off today´s DH practice. From now on we´ll just have 4X finals.
well, today´s good news is definetely the weather. The sun came up with good strength, enought to almost dry off all the DH track. At least after Fort Willian, Willigen and Mt. Saint Anne ther riders will have a weekend off the mud.
The ohter good news is that the riders that had luggages lost during the transfer from the last race got things just going on. Peat borrowed a brazilian V-10 edition, Cedric is riding a Intense M3, probably borrowed from Kovarik and Brendan Fearcloth is riding another M3, from a brazilian friend that he made.
John, SRAM´s mechanic, is the most injured abour this issue. His luggage with all the spare parts, 2007 prototypes and giveaways ( stickers, armbands, etc. ) is stucked in our customs and he can´t get in touch with nobody there, shame on them.
Nathan is the only one that got his things, wich will arrive this afternoon, just in time for tomorrow´s race. The only problem is that he´ll probably absent of the 4X race.
Now we´ll head to the 4X finals, keep tunned for more updates.

Well done to young rachel, first win if im not mistaken
This is only his second World Cup podium if I remember correctly, definetely the first win. Makes me wonder what he could have done if he hadn't spent most of the off season doing national service?!Transcend said:Best result ever for Matti I think? This also makes th rtitle chase ridiculously interesting..every WC has had a different winner for the men!
I thought he had been up there once before, seems I was wrong, 6th was the previous best. What a way to start your podium career!Icy said:Go Matti! Very, very happy for him! It's he's first ever podium in a worldcup
So nice to see him finally get it

missed duncan somehow.ska todd said:Duncan is a no-name?? For the 1st time in a while there is an American you find in the WC results by looking from the top down vs the bottom up!
Oh, and the reason more guys aren't there is b/c to travel down to Brazil is bloody expensive and the once more economical way to get there (Varig) just went belly up last week!
