What no official Mont Sainte Anne WC thread yet?
- Thread starter DIRT-HQ
- Start date
It wasn't from last year? There were some other mpora videos mixed in that seemed to be from last year...
Looks like Minnaar crashed in his qualifying run?
That's Myriam Nicole who had the big digger in the freecaster video. She didn't start qualifying, so maybe she is sore/hurt/broken!
Holy **** Hill is killing it! What time is Palmer off, very interested in seeing where he can place! Is there anyone out there who thinks he will fail to qualify?

Greg had a front flat. Sam was absolutely FLYING when he went by me. This also get him 50 points closer in the title hunt...
Palmer is 5th to last. 3:44 EST i think?
5th to last of qualifying or the whole field?
8th from last to start his qualifying run, I was looking so hard at the list I missed him.
What's the weather doing Fraser?
It was absolutely pissing here in Ottawa when I was out at lunch

I imagine Hill realises he needs to pick up points wherever possible if he's going to go after the overall. No more of this "take it easy in qualis" nonsense. When the boy is on he's certainly quick.
A sprinkling during practice this AM, nothing right now. Cloudy and cool. Sweatshirts for everyone. Looks like the rain may get pushed back just in time for the XC bandits on sunday now? Changes everytime you look at it.
The weather network shows 60-70% chance of shower all day tomorrow, but less than a mm accumulation for both morning and afternoon. There's also supposed to be 1-3mm overnight.
So nothing major, sounds like it just be light showers tomorrow.

How many people qualify for the finals? 80?
Brendan came down yesterday and asked if anyone had a spare set of arms for him to run in his next practice run. The course is beating people up that much. The slippery, rooty tech bits are at the bottom for the first time in a few years here.
Thanks, Ollie. Up next, a pig that refuses to eat Jews. After this.
Front flat
Looks like Minnaar had problems or something....+50 points for Sam Hill.
Looks like Palmer is going to make it....by a hair...
74th so far.....
Palmer 73rd with 5:03.86
Bernard Fairclough is right on pace it looks 2nd fastest split and am over thebars crash after leaving him in 8th. Another double Monster podium is on the cards. Anyoneknow more about the rumours that Sam doesn't wanna practice with Brendan anymore, even though they are friends, Sam wants to keep Sam's lines for Sam? Peaty is so solid, always there or there abouts. Tomorrow will be another cracker.
if you guys want to know what the rain looks like on a short-term basis, you can get a pretty good idea by watching the radar: http://meteo.gc.ca/radar/index_f.html?id=WVY
Looks like a rain shower is coming up from the South, but just might pass you by (if you're lucky)...

Seems like just last year the Canadians were ragging on the US for our depth at the WC's, not saying were kicking ass or anything yet but.... 8 US riders in the finals 4 Canadians. Looks like its time for the Northerners to pick it up!
Just thought I'd stir things up w/ some Sh&t talking

Twice as many riders for ten times the population!
Canadians like their North Shore Hucks too much to focus on racingSeems like just last year the Canadians were ragging on the US for our depth at the WC's, not saying were kicking ass or anything yet but.... 8 US riders in the finals 4 Canadians.

So does Greg not qualify therefor not race the final tomorrow?
Top 20 are protected. He is automatically qualified.
He's an automatic since he's ranked in the top 20 I believe.
Where'd you hear that? In one of the vids (I think Dirt's Thursday practice video) Brendan mentions he's practicing alone.
But Smith qualified faster than GwinSeems like just last year the Canadians were ragging on the US for our depth at the WC's, not saying were kicking ass or anything yet but.... 8 US riders in the finals 4 Canadians. Looks like its time for the Northerners to pick it up!

Really though, it's nice to see North America as a whole getting back into racing.
you guys watch way too much reality TV... trying to find drama where there is no drama
Sam has to win here... and his preparation will be focused on nothing else. pretty simple really.
Aw, sweet man! As many qualifiers as New Zealand, must be exciting for youSeems like just last year the Canadians were ragging on the US for our depth at the WC's, not saying were kicking ass or anything yet but.... 8 US riders in the finals 4 Canadians.
