Thanks for the video of practice. Sam Hill is running his seat quite high compared to everyone else I saw. Must be wanting a bit more control with his legs this weekend.

Gwin is on fire, it is going to be hard for anyone to stop him this year, 3 races and consistently fast in all and on very different types of tracks.

Of course Gwin hits my VItal OTB time within 100th of a second, do I get anything for that???

After watching that dirt video from practise Gwin and Minnaar seemed on a different level, surprised Minnaar was 10 seconds back.

You spoke to soon, Neethling just put in a good run to take Leov out of the top 5.

Where is Brendan, did not see him on the start list, but then again with almost 300 riders I did not take the time to really read through it closely.

Edit: found him in 28th

and gwin going "oh yah, I donno, it was fun, just trying to have a good time" in an almost canadian-esq manner

I can understand Greg not being high but where is Hill? WTF? Also Hart and Brendog? It should be a trail for them.

Wonder what Minnaar thinking as he finishes Quali and Gwin cruises across 10 seconds faster......that is nuts.

nice shot! Good for E. Jackson of Yeti/Fox National Team to make it, but a little lacking by their world cup rider O'Connor coming in at 109th.

Looks like CRC is still on M9s. I thought I saw a BOS fork on Matt Simonds' bike in the DIRT video. Am I mistaken? Does anybody run BOS in the WC?

I'm glad it's raining here. Between Leogang, Montreal and 24hrs du Mans I don't have time to be tempted by riding tomorrow.

Guess it's that blue paint that threw me off. So is anybody running BOS?
