Apparently 90km/h winds at the start hut. Race may be cancelled outright.

The Downtime podcast pre-race show guy knew a biblical cold front was going to pass through earlier this week from the sound of it. Shame the organizers and UCI/ESO weren't proactive with the weather forecast information.

Can't wait for Mt St Anne in October....

Lots of teeth/gum guards these days.

Steve "my personality is my facial hair" Peat is pumped.

Nice one Hoffman.

Granted some of the issue with the wind might be with the uplift, but I'm kind of surprised they don't just tape off and go around the large gaps - there's only two on this course right?

I guess another factor is whether a helicopter can fly I'm that wind as well..

I just love that Nina is so stoked, no matter if she wins or has a bad day. It is sweeter when she wins though. :banana:

They've taped off the one where there were crashes yesterday. Saw reports that there were 90 kph wind gusts earlier which is just not going to be possible to race with. Seems like they've done a decent job of getting a race in given the weather, though we'll have to see how things go for the men's race.

Yeah at the bottom the wind is ok so the films don't look that bad but the start hut winds are the problem.

How happy are we all getting to see riders most folk have never heard of having a go in the final?

I propose a compromise to a 50 rider final with no stupid semi
