The world of downhill mountain biking is a changing world, it is always in a flux, nothing ever stays the same, qualifying throwing up some very different times, at this new venue in france..or italy????
The place looks good, looks fast, and so do the european riders, Gwin having a big off, Hill getting a flat half way down, not sure what happened to sick Mick, but his time suggests he rode up the hill instead of down, heres hoping that come race day we fare a little better, fastest Aussie is Connor fearon coming in at 32nd!

1-Cam Cole
2-Josh Bryceland
3-Brook Macdonald
4-Gee Atherton
5-Nick Beer
6-Greg Minnaar
7-Damian Spagnolo
8-Luic Bruni
9-Remi Thirion
10-Cyril Kurtz
.......................
32-Connor Fearon
43-Bryn Atkinson
46-Jared Graves
56-Mitch Delfs
75-Sam Hill
123-Josh Button
210-Mick Hannah..(dq'ed for riding up hill)

It is bad news for our Tracey hannah, a big off has cost her, broken femur, and broken collar bone, enough said on this, but our thoughts go out to her!
1-Tracey Atherton
2-Emmeline Ragot
3-Emelie Siegenthaler
4-Florian pugin
5-Manon Carpenter

Good luck to the aussies tonight, be afraid, if you guys dont get your act together we will support NZ, thats how worried we are!

I think Gwin is in a little trouble with his hand, he had 5 stitches, i think Bryceland is getting quicker, but probably Minnaar, Gwin, Hill would be my guess, dont know whats happened to Danny Hart???
This track would have been custom made for Troy Brosnan, such a shame!

Well we will see Todd.. we will see... looks like I will be watching as its on early and I will be working till very late.

Heck Brook did a great run. That was a great race for the final runs.

Nice to see someone other than Gwin win, but damn was he gracious in not doing so.

Conor Fearon did well too getting 22nd at what was obviously a really nasty race.

wow, results are topsy turvy, hannah realised it was downhill, not up, hill stacked it but only came 6 secs behind, the racing was really close!
