Does the Fort Bill track get affected by rain that much? the pics make it look like it does not get sloppy.
here's a quick 4x (you know, mountain cross) track talk with Phil Saxena.

(there's a guy riding a mini bike round a steel ball cage just opposite me, stay tuned for a helmet cam of that!)

doubt it will happen man, have you seen the pedalling section on ft bill? riders who win there are great all round riders who are powerful.
Slightly off topic but it seems from a french cup vid over on http://www.mtbcut.tv/ that Barel is back for Fort Bill.
He gives a good insight into how bad his knee is, but Barel has made a habit of getting good results after injuries, top 5 I'd say!!
Oh and my usual Barel love continues, he gives some of the best interviews, very smart and cool about everything.

was it just me or was there not alot of course footage in that course walk?
that was from a movie actually.haha - hell yeah this weekend!!! Go Peaty!! We'll even let you wear a kilt if you win.
I would love to see some European teenagers try to name the 50 US states and place them on a map..
Anyhow the race should be great..
Yeah but I think the general impression is that the course is largely the same as last (any) year, but with the gravel swept away and a couple of new small sections in the woods.was it just me or was there not alot of course footage in that course walk?
Top section probably gets a bit quicker in the wet, damps down the gravel so it's not as drifty. Woods will obviously get a bit trickier, and some bits of the motorway might get a bit stodgier. Don't think it's meant to be that wet though. Wind can be more of a problem than rain up top...
I'd like to see an American teenager do that!
while were in the business of making broad generalizations that have nothing to do with the race, I heard aliens kidnapped obama and turned him into a llama.I'd like to see an American teenager do that!
But seriously, stop tripping on your egos, there are plenty of smart americans and plenty of stupid ones, just like everybody else everywhere else in the world.
Back OT!
I think were going to see a crushing time from Sam this race. I think he wants it bad.
My right knee moves a TON but holy SH*T. It that even connected?
looks like a loose headset, but his knee
Yeah, my thoughts exactly, that's unreal.
When I blew my ACL out I was barely getting 3mm of movement. he must have blown out more that one (maybe three) ligaments. If he races he should win the tough man of the year award. 
Timed runs are on now. It's currently pissing rain and or snowing up top. Sun is now out at the bottom.
Holy Jesus look at that play in his knee!
Look for something new come race day...
got tape?
Whats new Fraser?
Dunno if anyone posted it, but there are some new pics from Sven on litter.
Fras, what's Sammy's race day surprise gonna be? Not crashing?
ha! 
Maybe he will be rocking the new rumored TLD helmet?
Maybe he will be rocking the new rumored TLD helmet?
But just to confuse the issue - it is part of the UK
Having just realised that the 4x is on at it's proper time this year, I may have to take a drive up tomorrow with a camelbak full of drink at the ready
No, no he won't.ha!
Maybe he will be rocking the new rumored TLD helmet?
You will have to wait till....
ah nevermind.
I just threw up in my mouth a little. Sooooo when is TLD gonna fire MC Hammer from their design team?
Hill fastest in timed practice (not qualifying as I'd originally written
oster_oops
... (http://dirtmag.co.uk/worldcup/category/News/timed-practice-results/dirt-1235165.html) I wonder if this is a reversal of his usual practice of taking it easy in qualis and seeding caus' he's so hungry for the win. Or maybe he was holding back and he'll be looking for that 10 second winning margin come Sunday...
either way, it'll make for a good race. Bring it on!

indeed.
oster_oops: either way, he was still fastest, and he usually doesn't do that (based on what I've read in the past).

look at it this way - there are 3 Americans in the top ten! So obviously not worth looking into the winning timeindeed.
It's hard to read anything into.....only the rider knows what they were doing...indeed.
Going to be an interesting race.....Hill needs to go on a streak to gather some points. Seems like the top couple guys from last year haven't hit their stride yet. Peat just being very consistent and seems more relaxed....
