No one seems to car about the 4x in Houffalize this weekend. I've never been keen on 4x but bike racing is bike racing and seen as there aint much better to be doing at 8p.m. CET I'm goona sit down witha protein shack post Intervals and watch Graves snap everyone.

On top of all this there is a "DH" race in Houffalize today, Jill Kintner is saying there is €10k prize money up for grabs, bummed I'm missing it. 4x quali is tonight at 6pm CET I think, Live tomorrow night over on www.freecaster.com at 8pm

And incase some of you guys don't know the whole UCI World cup series is back on TV, with most DHi races LIVE,aswell as 4x, this is good times for DH, I thought it was just select races being covered for Eurosport 2, but it seems the whole series is up there. Sweet! check out www.dirtmag.co.uk for details.

You are right, no one cares.

But I did see on Jill's site a quote that was funny "The DH guys are bummed they didnt come to this race"

Ya, because Lyon Avalanche is not fun
and the DH in belgium (polc riding hardtail) sounds fun...

???

The DH in Houfallize does have a 10k prize purse though...not sure what kinda cash is up for grabs in Lyon, but in the past it was always only 350-500 for the win at an Avalanche Cup. Who knows, who cares...SWINE FLU!

Jill should be doing the DH, not the wank 4X

Gotta do what you can before you get pig virus.

She should have stayed on the 20"..ha, no serious though, 4X blows pig pipe but racing is racing. Quali results should be up soon. Strange to see Gee racing in Belgium, especially seen as the likes of Guido Tshugg are around, maybe Gee wants Tshugg to get the job done before he gets the Zombie pig flu.

 

[stiksandstones]

only a 10th of a second between Jill and Anneke in the qualis.
49 seconds

Buhl 5th
Fionn 12th

You didn't get the memo
4X is dead.

I heard Minnaar just farted.

 

[William42]

is Dan not gunning for 4x overall? I'd have expected him to be there with Gee...

Read my post above, most of the DH heavies won't race 4x becasuse missile man Guido Tshugg and his testosterone heavy mates will break your leg quicker then you can say Swine Flu!

Well maybe the Swime flu is gettin to my eyesight, but I'm pretty sure Dan Atherton qualified in 12th place with a time of 46.97secs!

 

[Pip3r]

well at least theres a strong american contingent in the mens field

In other non Swine news, Bryn Atkinson won the "DH" race today in Houffalize. Second was Filip Polc.

Not sure how much of the 10K Bryn gets..I'm sure Jill will have the news up quciker then the rest of the media....

[RUFUS]

I'm sorry but I have been less than impressed with Freecaster. I appreciate what they are doing but come on.

stream works for me now

the audio is all screwed up just like it was before, only coming out of left channel and is super quiet compared to the noise on the actual course

its cool what theyre doing but to get people interested it's going to need some better standards

 

[adrock33]

shiet this sucks
