- Thread starter canadmos

Hoping the rains come and maybe some more luck of the Irish!
Would be cool to see Finn take another win and the overall at home, but odds are pretty long on that one.

Conditions are prime and the weather is really nice.
We'll see how it goes, but some forecasts are predicting rain of biblical proportions starting saturday. If it is indeed the case, it may affect the DH race results and the XC race on sunday will most likely be a very muddy one. Still several days away, so we'll have to wait and see.

Oof
can't remember which thread it was in, but the new maxxis tire..... mudslayer not the official name. AND a new casing coming. confirmed by jesse M on vital.
Spotted! New Maxxis DH Tire Makes World Cup Rounds
Maxxis appears to be testing the next High Roller tire under World Cup gravity racers, and it looks quite different from the HR deuce.

Debating between taking the afternoon off Friday to go see qualis in the sun and checking the pits, or maybe going Saturday for the race but not sure. I like to see the raw speed, but I kind of prefer watching the race on live stream to see more of the action. I did the same two years ago and I think I prefered that. Depends if I feel like seeing other humans on Saturday or not I guess.
FFS Don't crash Erice!
there's also the possibility they might change the time/day of the race... I'd play it safe it I was there and catch qualis...
Hopefully all the coolers with refreshing beverages are able to make it up the hill safely!
And back down. My buddy went last year and said someone has indulged a bit much and yard sale'd himself and cooler partway down the hill on the way out.
Maybe offroad coolers will be in play?

...and that is why last year I used a back-pack cooler.Hopefully all the coolers with refreshing beverages are able to make it up the hill safely!

I confirm last year was not the first time it happened. I have also witnessed a severely drunk dude OTB his cooler on the side of the track a few years ago.Hopefully all the coolers with refreshing beverages are able to make it up the hill safely!

I find MoiMoiTV's line discussions pretty great, but at nearly 37 minutes long, I have to watch with my finger on the fast forward button:
still, seeing the riders puzzle, discuss, and put together their lines is pretty great.

I'll probably go for a quick visit after work and will go tomorrow then.
very rainy here in Ottawa. Looks like winds are pushing the weather up your way... hope it stays away during the Jr races.
Looks dry and dusty for Jrs.
Seems like more carnage than Snowshoe so far, lots of wrecks and flats.
Really hope the rain comes for the elites, things will be beyond spicy!

Men's elite finals is gonna be good.
4 possible contenders with Jackson and Fin clear outsiders for the overall but with the points so close it may only take a mechanical or crash to shake things up.
Loic Bruni - 1518
Loris Vergier - 1458 ( -60 )
Jackson Goldstone - 1366 ( -152 )
Finn Iles - 1320 ( -198 )
Hoping for a Danny Hart win and points to alter because of it!

Would like to see one of the Irish squids take it again, for no other reason than they are a hell of a lot more entertaining than the rest of the top professionals.
bruni not coasting for qualis it seems.
1st. Loic Bruni: 3:57.739
2nd. Troy Brosnan: 3:58.168
3rd. Andreas Kolb: 4:00.532
4th. Ethan Craik: 4:01.157
5th. Loris Vergier: 4:01.407

Troy also seems to be on a mission... according to Jack Moir anyways... he remarked on his speed at one point during one of his vlogs...
I was watching the race live. I think it was Jon Mozell, on his second crash into the netting?! holy smokez... unreal... gonna need new undies after that one.
Yeah. I remember reading MOZELL on the back of a dude who had a "hugey" infront of Jack in his MoiMoiTV
didn't remember if his was at the new wood/slab gap or if he was the guy who also went through the red netting. 'kin good going if he did do it twice and survive unscathed.
I think I saw that too. And had the same thought... two massive crashes in the same spot?! the boy's got a lot of faith in that netting...
As for qualifying...
Neko just missed the big show in p61? that sucks.
Good thing for Finn and Dunne they're protected.... Hope they're ok?
Both crossed the line (No DNF) so hopefully just punctures or mechanicals
