Ooh didn't realise qualy was today. It's worrying how excited I am at the prospect of watching a live timing screen :D

Unfortunately it will be happening 13:30 - 15:20 UK time, and I'm off to go XC riding at about 2-2:30 :(

I am guilty that I forgot about the women when I was looking at the start times, whoops! Cheers for the heads up, hope most of the UK girls make the cut!

Floriane on a stormer - met her out in Maribor last year, lovely girl, well chuffed for her - has she ever won a WC before? I know this is only qualifying, but she's put 3.5sec into Sabrina. (Who, admittedly, has nothing to prove, having already tied the overall up a while ago).

Girls top 5 with all big names down:

Floriane Pugin 5:01
Sabrina Jonnier 5:04
Emmeline Ragot 5:05
Mio Suemasa 5:08
Celine Gros 5:08

Tracy Moseley 6th with 5:16, but I assume she'll slip a bit, big gap between her and Celine.

Looks like Minnaar & Peat have just made life a whole lot harder for themselves come raceday. Not even close!

Impressed with Brendan's run too, and the dark horse Barel.

I think I would be glad for Hill to take it this time round, he's stayed off the radar (relatively) up until a couple of races ago & now it appears to be all coming together.

Is it me or wouldn't you have thought the qualifying times would've been closer considering how tight the points race is? You wouldn't think there is any sandbagging going on would you?

With it being so tight, I wouldn't have thought so? Surely if they were sandbagging they would be miles down the field, not top 20?

Realistically it was more between Hill & Minnaar, yes Peat had an outside chance, but it was always going to be hard...

I'm going to assume Peat and Minnaar were going as fast as they could. Given Hill's history on this track i'm not surprised he's that far ahead of some guys. Figured Brendan and Blinky would be in there again, but Barel? That guy is on his best/most consistent form in years and he's half broken! Look out in '10

So after qualifying am I figuring it out right to say that Sam put another 30 points between himself and Minnaar?
I don't know exactly but it's prob like 45-47 points....Minnaar was sitting in 19th....Hill gets 50 for 1st.....

Just for conversation sake what would happen if Mingnaar won and Hill gets third resulting in a tie? Do they get another run or .....?
