gee just smashed it...hope he can hold out for the win. Results are all over the place though, kovarik and peat, two riders who can do well in the mud are way down the field. Great effort from Joe Smith, maybe he can make his first podium at this rate
EDIT: Minnaar just topped that from happening

Minnaaaaar!!!! Stocked to see him upping his game in the grease...
Sucks that sam crashed.
amazing for greg considering that horrific MX accident only 6 months ago, really amazing.
Cant believe it... As Minnaars biggest fan, I didn't think for one second he'd win at maribor, in the slop! Extremely impressed! This year is going to be a world cup series to remember!
what he said. pinned run, and great to see gee within grasp of the win again, I'm predicting a good season (although my predictions haven't been so good so far
)
after the 1st few mins freecaster was flawless...major props
and DAMN was Gee's line through the garden fast

Dear Freecaster.
I had the perfect stream until the men's Top 10. Refreshing that page every second rider, having to reinsert code and watch that homo-erotic Rexona ad again and again. Faaaark.
So, a shaky connection at best Freecaster. I am not grumbling about paying as I now get to watch the replays later with a much better quality vid.
Not the same as live...
Come on Freecaster. If you need more money to produce better coverage, please sell advertising real estate. Do whatever it takes to ensure the next race is flawless.

Found out you have to have like 3 GB free on the partition where you have your browser installed in order to not have to refresh every minute and see the boring commercial...
I guess this should have been posted somewhere...
For the 100th time, yell at the UCI, it's their feed.
Hey Damo,
I had two computers running side by side with 2 different codes and one was terrible and the other was great. They gave me a new code for the next race for free without me asking when the feed finished on the crappy streaming computer. I couldn't figure out my computer so we watched my brother's. So stoked for Fabian and Floriane!

actually no. the feed from freecaster to you is freecaster's problem. connectivity issues, web page errors, are all freecaster.
if the video went out for everyone, meaning the feed from uci to freecaster, then yes its uci's problem. bad camera angles, not getting coverage of your favorite racer, etc...then yea complain to them.
camera -> uci -> affiliates(freecaster, local tv, etc) -> freecaster internet servers -> you

UCI is controling the World Wide Webzzz now. 
The real question is...Who was running air shox?
and if any of those pesky carbon bikes broke
Even Greg can't believe it (his words). It was a great race, super stoked for Brendan, Troy and Stevie. For those wondering about sam, he pulled off a tearoff in a section he shouldn't have and went down. It was out of tv coverage.
you're dumb, he's smooth and consistent, and there's nothing boring about that.
Well said
The excitement in watching Minnaar ride is in the perfection of his race craft.
Fun fact - Brendan threw up in his helmet mid race run.
he tried pedaling for a change?
yeah, that would explain it. didn't cross my mind. hahah
anyone know if Mick crashed?... and what about Peat?
Quoted from Dirt for awesomeness!
"An incredible day for Britain, after twenty two qualified out of eighty and then 8 out of top twenty from UK. Good work Atherton, Fairclough, Smith, Simmonds, Bryceland, Cathro, Beaumont and Hart!"

wow, no team has more puking going on than those guys?? what gives?
no one - all blackbox guys ran the vivid coil
hmm, if true, that should be pretty newsworthy, unless the shock dont work so well in the slop..
The MTB cut video is pretty sweet if any one hasn't seen it. What a great start to the season.
Well chuffed to see Gee in 2nd. He'd prefer top I'm sure, but good start to the season. Surprised to see Minnaar winning it, would have put him outside of the top 5 really if I'd guessed. Nice result for Pedemanaud too!
The splits were a bit odd, what's with having two 95-seconds sectors of the track, and then the last sector being only 13 seconds long?!
Never heard of Robin Wallner though, but he killed it in the last split - 12.94s to Minnaar's 12.96. His claim to fame today - those hundredths count!
Maribor results on RootsandRain, sorted by last split time:
http://www.rootsandrain.co.uk/race180/2010-may-16-uci-world-cup-1-maribor/men-categories/?pos=1&splits=1&traps=0&s1=11
Blenki definitely the king of the speedtrap (anyone know where it was? That super-fast gully towards the end of the track?) Fastest speed of the event in his race run with 34.66mph, and was 2nd only to Stevie Smith in qualifying.
(Sorry for the delay, been out racing myself and only got home a couple of hours ago, and had a lot to sort out!)
I'll be a lot more on-the-ball with Fort William - add yourself to the facebook page to get an update when I put new things on the site, cheers people!
