His insane bar height may finally be of some use to him ;) It would be nice if he pulled a suprise top10 result.

Does anyone know why I get a strange error message "video not found" when I try to click on any freecaster video? It only happens in firefox.
You have AdBlocker on? I've been trying to figure it out for sometime now with downloading flash a handful of times. Worked flawless when I took ABP off.

can anyone verify that freecaster will not be showing the junior races?
start time for me (MST) says 05:00 which is 14:00 CEST.

the UCI start list shows:
jr women : 11:30
jr men : 12:15
elite women : 14:00
elite men : 15:00

links:

I wonder why there is no talk or coverage of it and the uci only shows timed practice and finals rounds on their site. they already have jr finals start lists posted.
It's not technically a quali for the juniors, it's a seeding run since everyone gets in to the finals. Unlike the seniors the jrs don't have a UCI ranking (except for a few but that is relative to seniors and not among themselves) so their timed practice also serves as a way to seed them for the finals.

There has been talk and coverage of it. Read your Vital.

thanks - didn't know that timed practice = seeding, terminology is a bitch isn't it? obviously vital and others covered timed practice, i missed the seeding part of it.

Guess I did not get nearly enough sleep last night. Read the detail of the link I thought was correct and realized it a for a $50 DVD


Still got to say: WTF? $50 FOR A DVD?
$50 is for the dvd and live feed of 6 events. we've also been pretty damn fortunate to have been able to watch 99% of freecaster's coverage of the WC for the last few season for free.

Is Freecaster down for anyone else besides me?

Tried it in Firefox, IE and Chrome. I wanted to pay my fees and register now, so I don't have to do it at 4am.....

Exactly. They'll all be crying and wanting to pay when nothing is covered next year.

Freecaster.tv is working again!
I don`T have any problem with paying for the race. Like JCL said, we were able to watch so many races for free then you should be able to pay for one weekend. And if some are saying: thats too expensive, think about it when you buy something for the bike next time.

our national representative on the world champs said that the race will be wet, by the time he wrote his post on our local forum it was already raining

Thats going to be interesting if it`s a wet race! With dry conditions I would have said Gwin but with wet Atherton and Hill might be up there too

Junior women just finished, Manon wins it by 14 seconds!

In other news, Jr Men about to start, and Hill is up at the first split with what appears to be 2 crashes!

Something happened on the track that the Juniors are not going or is it only a live timing problem?
