There are five guys on the WC that I really like...If they were all focused enough they would all win. I hope they all can get their heads out of their asses so I can see a five way tie that I know they are capable of!

See, I'm not the only one!
(don't bother replying with something stupid, YES, I know you were being sarcastic.)
I had NO IDEA that Rennie and Kov were/are placing in the top ten. My very first post in this thread(10 pages of bull**** ago) I mentioned I had just gotten back from nearly 3 weeks of traveling. The last race I saw was Val Di Sol and then hit the road about an hour after. I have limited sit down time even still and have unfortunately been sitting here arguing with 20 people who apparently ALL PLACE IN THE TOP 5(!!!!) since I'm the only one not worthy of wanting two WC racers to be in the top 5. WTF? There are a LOT of crowded podiums out there if I'm the ONLY guy not winning! **** you guys. You're all full of ****, I'm the only one not scared to admit I'm not the fastest rider out there. I should be honored to be speaking to you all. I'm sorry that you all have to keep climbing up onto those annoying podiums every single race, must be hell on your knees.
They don't make a large enough
to insert here.
smells like whaaagina in here.
could be the burnt pizza outside by the finish line though.

Sorry to put the thread back on topic, but which riders are owning the course and which are getting owned?
I'd like to predict that after seeing the speeds the guys are killing it at & the tighness of the course, at least 1 Top Ten rider will go down with a season ending shoulder or wrist injury. Oddsmakers place your bets. The drier that track gets...the better my odds.
the top of the course is a lot of lines to remember and stay on top of. the bottom of the course is a lot of pedaling. the fit riders will make up time at the bottom. usual suspects, hill, gee, peat, greg... they will all be up there. mitch delphs looks really good in practice. same with the yeti crew (including gwin). strobel for top 20 im guessing.
Cool, thanks for the 4-1-1! Top-10 guys will definitely be going all-out again. It's THAT kind of season - the overall is sooooo tight. I'll be riding tomorrow, but you can bet I'll be rushing to see the results when I get back!
Great shots Fraser...thanks for sharing!
I like Peaty's new kit...
love the shot of Sam! can't wait for tomorrow...is rain in the forecast?

sweeeeeeeet! nice work fraser!
Had a great time at the hill today, super muddy and tech up top and pretty dry and pedally at the bottom just like everyone is saying. Been 10 years since I saw the WC roadshow and almost forgot how nice everyone is.
Spoke to Clay Porter for a bit and all the riders are super nice. Spotted Fraser and Rob chilling by the pizza stand before 4X practice. Rob cracks me up like no other, he yells into his cell phone lol. Great pics Fraser and to the freecaster guys keep up the great work, it's really appreciated.
Cheers

P.S I was the skinny guy in the brown Burton hat with the girlfriend in pink billy boots hahaha

or for you lazy link people who dont want to drive up site numbers for me:

so... is anyone else into the bust-ass-to-get-vids-up-daily trend that's going on this year with freecaster stuff, mtb cut and dirt? i think it should continue for the sake of maybe job security but also it's just rad to see stuff if you cant afford to be at the races and you're a huge fan-dork like me.

Anybody think Kovarik had a throttle on that last jump???
So gutted.... Somehow during file transfer, I lost over 200 video clips from today (software glitch with partial human error I think...so much for new technology). I had a wicked day of filming with some great shots too...sigh. Gotta go up tomorrow first thing and try and salvage an action clip for you guys. Posting up a couple of off-track segments now though on Mudcaster....er, Freecaster.

yeah what's the deal? is the race today or has it been pushed to tomorrow?
So what's the exact time? Getting a little confused now with those time differences (European <=> Canadian)...
Actually, its not Freecaster having technical difficulties....the promoter hasn't provided the appropriate internet uplink for us & the TV production company, so Freecaster is having to "tape delay" the broadcast. The UCI stream and others are able to do it because they are not as high quality and can stream across lower bandwidth connections (from what I understand anyways). Sigh.

It sure looked like it. He cleared the rise that everyone else bounced off... and did it with style.
Doesnt look like it.
And I will miss it on both.
Workin tonight and then out tommorrow.

I'll have top 3 runs and finish interviews up before the "live" broadcast is aired (5am est unfortunately). I'll try and get them up before 4X.
Sitting trackside at the moment waiting for semi finals to start and enjoying the sun. Trees and rock sections are very slippery today but the rest of the course is dry now. If the rain holds off the 4X should be really good too.
