DELIA DA MOCOGNO on Instagram: "Well, my junior season has come to an end I wanted to thank all the people who helped me yesterday after my crash. Specially a big thank to @emi_fatima for being there right after the crash and @alicia.ka.90. I was really relieved to have good people around me @swisscyclingteam ❤️ After this huge crash I got away with just a broken shoulder and nothing else, so I was really lucky Now I have to let it heal for about 6 weeks. To all the fast girls at the start line I wish all the best and a lot of fun out there. I‘ll be watching and cheering for you #swisscyclingfamily"

Remind me: How does "Qualifying" work at World Champs?

For finals day, I thought they went by ranking/number plate and "Qualifying" was more like a timed training thing?

Give me some Prevagen, my brain is failing me....

Wrestling with my VPN on my fire stick…

there's a limited number that goes to finals (80 in men's?), so as per the name, qualifying to actually race.

 

[Jeremy R]

Nah, they all race. That is why you see Jamaican bobsled skill level when it first starts.
I remember thinking people were going to die that year it was at Val di sole.

 

[norbar]

Yup. Expres VPN it is. Kinda annoyed it doesn't appear in appletv app store but will just cast it.

How do you know it will cast? I am going with Japan,but when I click on the RedBull app,nothing really happens. I was thinking it won’t work till Saturday,but it seems you know it will cast?

granted, there certainly is a range of talent on display, given the rider selection process limitations, but there is a hard cap on finals numbers. ie:

For all DHI events (Men Elite, Women Elite, Men Junior and Women Junior), riders are required to ride in the qualifying round. The number of riders qualifying for the final are as follows: - Men Elite: top 80 riders in the qualifying round - Women Elite: top 40 riders in the qualifying round - Men Junior: top 60 riders in the qualifying round - Women Junior: top 15 riders in the qualifying round

Anyone remember Warner commentating for worlds (Freecaster?) making absolutely no attempt not to laugh and comment on the speed, action and displays of skill of the first riders coming down the hill. Today's woke crew would have a fit at his er... interperitation of their names and various "Warnerisms"

Well, that would mean Danny Hart who finished 105th and Greenland who DNFed is out and not racing.

Yes, it was awesome.
They looked like all of us coming down a World Cup track with Rob commentating.

they're both protected, so should be good to go

Oh yeah, Rob and Nigel's commentary on Hart's winning run in the rain at Champery gets all the play, but Rob's commentary on the early riders in the start order was hilarious.

I do remember one quote during a women's race where he said something to the effect of, "This is not slow motion you're watching, it's actually how fast they're going."

Sounds like Hart took some dirt samples.

I thought canada was on the redbull broadcast list this time around?

:edit: nope I guess not..

BITD while Rob was in top 10 WC overall for some reason he ended up with super early start time himself and had to pass 7 riders from outlying nations during his run. His comments on that day were priceless.
Luckily for him any incriminating VHS tapes should be well and truly buried in landfill by now

 

[jackalope]

Likely a dumb question from this old guy who can't work his VCR/VPN, but does anyone recall if Redbull will have a replay option that anyone can watch with the app? Doubt it, just not looking forward to going to Papua New Guinea

 

[vivisectxi]

if it's any indication, last year's replay is still geo restricted...

 

[jackalope]

Damn, that's a long flight to Papua New Guinea. Well at least the terrain looks like there should be some good riding, and it can't be any more fucking humid than where I'm at.

 

[SylentK]

That's what I thought, but couldn't remember if they changed the rules.

I do remember some seriously slow dudes being broadcasted during the Freecaster days. But that was a while ago.

I mean, if my cycling body (Durka-durka-stan (thanks South Park)) thought I was good enough to go to world's, I'd go. No matter how slow I really was compared to the real world cup racers.

 

[6thElement]

Was pleased to see Williams had beaten Goldstone in the qually timing by 4s, then just discovered Goldstone had a crash in his run that probably lost him that 4s.
2m45s in:

edit: weird that the video is now hidden, it was posted by the UCI on their feed...

 

[Gary]

Is he not also riding with a minor (leg) injury?

 

[Da Peach]

Im mainly going off my experience from last year. Logged on from France and the website came up in French.

There was also not “Georestricted” tag like you see in Canada.
It also showed the countdown as you would see for a normal broadcast.
I am optimistic.

Damn it must be so fuggin slippery. Looks like he almost high sided another berm just after getting back on his bike.

I also wonder how doable those big tables at the end would be if it truly pissed rain, as it doesn't look like any of them are easily clearing them and its obviously bone dry now.

 

[Westy]

Sadly the work locations I could use with the company VPN isn't covered this year.

I think Kerr cased the final one on his first practice run, now he seems to be having to launch it to the moon to get over it. I haven't seen any side footage to see how high riders are getting.

Thanks,I have logged on off on RedBull a hundred times but it still says Geo? The Proton VPN Japan says 100% connected. Not sure what is going on? Should I reboot the iPad?

Turn off any GPS or similar location stuff you have on your device or block the app from knowledge of your location

Try it through the browser instead of the app

Pick a country that is on the approved list, like the UK. As far as I can tell, Japan is not on it.

 

[jstuhlman]

avy. the three countries with proton are all blocked. i downloaded provado vpn and mexico should work. there is a mew thread on pb the tells you how to how to reset your redbull app settings (or maybe it's in one of the comments) or you could just go through the browser. good luck.

i feel less excited about world champs every year than the other races. maybe i'm not a patriot. or maybe i don't like the one and done. despite what the riders are saying i don't think the track looks all that interesting either. still good to have a race to watch.

i work so other ppl can buy shiny new bike stuff

A gap into a berm is fun to ride but a bad idea for racing imho. It did cost me 2 different broken fingers on 2 separate ocasions.
