Right you are, I'd totally missed that - I always think of him as being a tiny guy that excels on technical stuff, didn't realise he could mix it up on the big tracks too!

Intense Proto M9's, 3 in the top 20!! I am doing cautious backflips for Matti right now. Love that kid. I think it's safe to say Minnaar owns Ft. Will.
I hope Sam is ok, Aaron Gwin= go USA!

Curious to know where is Cedric and his brigade in all of this...???How's he doing?
it's in the quali results....10th in 4x, 28th in dh
Thanks...He's doing alright then
Joey Schusler, do we know if he had issues, thats 2 world cups he didnt quali, I was hoping to see him quali here....anyone know what happened?
Fvck Yeah Brook!!!
Don't be so quick to right Cam off, he is a solid top 10 rider, 90kg plus, and has started to take his **** serious and it is paying off. Not a former junior world champ for nothing. He was on for a solid top 10 at Worlds last year but snapped a chain. Hopefully he smashes it tomorrow, my experience with racing World Cups is that splits can and have been wrong frequently, whereas final run times are always correct, so if anything UCI gave Cam a slower split when it should have been higher. Split times have been done manually in the past as in a person with a little button so yeah, hopefully Cam smashes it tomorrow!
Did they take out the rocky stepdown in the 4X track?!
yes they did
they say why...?....looks dry and safe...
There's been no hating yet, but people on here always say that the girls look pretty lame in the 4x...
I'm no Gracia, but I rode with Katy Curd a few months back, and she put me to shame - I'm fairly sure the top girls would school most of the haters on here!

Ohhh..they would school 93%-96% of the people on here.....
Jana Horokova for the win
Graves for the win too!
Can someone remind me what intervals they go at in the men's DH final? Is it every minute, and then every 4 minutes for the top 10? Or something like that?
(I know the coverage starts at 2pm but I'll be out, want to work out what time I need to be home to ensure I see the last 20!)

that sounds about right, maybe 4 minutes for top 20 though?
"4.8.037 Riders in the final shall start at intervals of no less than one minute. The last 10 riders shall start at
intervals of at least 2 minutes. The intervals between the riders can be modified by
the President of the commissaires panel."
So top 20 will start at 3pm, baring any course closures.

any word on Sarsha Huntington. She stacked pretty badly and had to be stretchered off. Hope she's ok. One thing is for sure: randall aint getting any tonite (u got to know what's on her helmet to undersatnd that one 
)
)
This has easily become the biggest world cup. Thousands of people, all paying good money to get in and watch and deal with huge bus lines etc. The Dh and 4X courses were lined all day. So rad. The good weather can't be hurting either!
Sounds sweet! I remember worlds up there, the place was rammed, gotta be good for the sport!
Any decent pics of the woods section Transcend?
Great to see another 22 (unless I miscounted) Brits qualify for the final

Peaty ftw
No woods yet, I'll shoot them in practice tomorrow. They are quite tame compared to years past though.
Fighting off some midges - but here are some photos!

Minnaar is the big favourite for tomorrow...the only riders can beat him are, Blenky, Cole, Gee, Gwin and Hill(if he is fine)

Its a cool shot for sure. Cedric for the win FTW!
Full DH quali results are at the bottom of the news stories on the front page of my site - sorry, too lazy/busy to find the URLs and paste them here - see link in my sig.

You got that right! He even unclipped right after the snap in one of the first rounds and still managed to get the lead into the first turn!
He also flatted in an other round. Final was good with, in the final order:
1. Graves
2. Joost the Boost
3. Prokop
4. Saladini
Without going into too much gossip, could someone please enlighten us on the subject? I was really pulling for Joey and I'm curious as well.
For some reason I can't watch any of the streams or videos on Freecaster, does anyone have the same problem? The circle in the middle just keeps spinning, but it never loads. Wanna watch the race 
I tried to watch the 4X replay , it played 5 second grabs , buffered , played , buffered etc etc......then after 5 minutes the player returned to the home screen. I don't hold much hope for the live DH.For some reason I can't watch any of the streams or videos on Freecaster, does anyone have the same problem? The circle in the middle just keeps spinning, but it never loads. Wanna watch the race
Maribor DH was the same for me , almost unwatchable (although the replay worked fine the next day)
It's downright depressing.......
No probs for me.For some reason I can't watch any of the streams or videos on Freecaster, does anyone have the same problem? The circle in the middle just keeps spinning, but it never loads. Wanna watch the race
The DH coverage starts in 50min. In the mean time I have been watching the French MX GP. Freecaster rocks.
I watched that stream tonight no probs.
The internet is trying to make me angry..........but I am resisting......just
Freecaster doesn't respond on anything I click on. Is it me, or a general problem?
