Here's what you missed17:20 // I thought I'd go back and re-listen to what
Claudio CALUORI had to say, and it's right, Claudio announced live on air that Josh Brycleand is quitting racing -
"I had a discussion with him this week and er,he's actually pulling out from racing and the reason for that is because he's concerned a lot about his CO2 footprint." We'll wait until we have confirmation from Josh or his team.
17:15 //
Manon CARPENTER injury update -
17:00 // Here's some behind-the-scenes from the flower presentation for the Elite Men.
15:58 // Your full Elite Men's results can be found
here.
15:54 //
"The last few months have been massive. The last five years have been a pain; [wondering] why can't I get back to it. It all came back at once...[I've] done it four times in a row - not many people have done that!" -
Danny HART - 2016 UCI MTB DH WORLD CHAMPION15:48 //
GWIN suffers a huge mechanical. His back tyre is off its rim and the rim itself looks like it's taken a huge impact. Looks to have been something to do with the heavy landing in one of the big craters in the boulder field.
Danny HART is your 2016 UCI World Cup Downhill Champion - Huge congrats Danny!
15:45 //
Aaron GWIN is on track. He's down by 1.5 seconds.
15:43 //
BROSNAN crosses the line in 4th spot, 5.8 seconds back from HART.
15:41 //
Troy BROSNAN is 2.8 seconds back. Doesn't look like it's going to be the Australian's day.
15:40 //
Danny HART looks stunned as he checks the time in the finish line. He's ahead by 2.9 seconds. Two riders to go.
15: 38 //
Danny HART gains more time in the mid sector, then has a mistake. He crosses the line FASTEST!
15:34 // OMG!
Danny HART is UP! Another Hart Attack!
15:31 // What a shame for
Loic BRUNI! A flat rear tyre...he still gives it full beans all the way down the track.
15:30 //
Remi THIRION is so close! Has he had a mechanical on the last jump? He crosses the line fourth fastest.
15:23 // Neither
Marcelo GUTIERREZ or
Connor FEARON can challenge Laurie GREENLAND's time.
15:18 // Claudio has just said on air that
Josh BRYCLAND is pulling out of racing on account of his carbon footprint. Not sure how 'confirmed' this is.
15:09 //
Florent PAYET splits the GB top three and is second fastest, 2 seconds behind Greenland.
15:06 // He almost flies off the track but German
Johannes FISCHBACH manages to get down the track without a front break after a crash in the lower section.
14:57 // It's currently a Great Britain 1-2-3 as
Greg WILLIAMSON crosses the line third fastest...for now.
14:52 //
Loris VERGIER has a terrible run through the woods and slips off his bike, eventually slotting in to 12th fastest.
14:48 // Red Bull TV coverage seemed to freeze the point where
Bernard KERR dropped some big style in the woods. He comes down the track second fastest so far.
14:44 // Great Britain rider
Laurie GREENLAND is on fire and takes the hot seat with a time of 3:35.1, 8.5 seconds faster than Jack MOIR. It's the fastest time we've seen from this weekend so far.
14:43 // 20 riders to go and
Laurie GREENLAND is up!
14:36 //
Brook MACDONALD goes sideways over the rock and crashes into the spectators - who were already up close against the track. He gets back on his bike and crosses the finish line. He's gutted.
14:33 // Austrian
Markus PEKOLL is second fastest, missing the hot seat by a second.
14:28 //
Dean LUCAS loses control in the boulder section and goes through the tape. He stops to have a drink of water and then gets back on track. His race is over.
14:16 // Aussie
Jack MOIR does a Sam Hill tribute on the infamous left-hand turn and crosses the line fastest so far with 03:43.9.
14:14 // Racers are back on track...
14:06 // There are four designated heli-med pick up points on the side of the Val di Sole track.
14:03 // We've got a red flag. USA's
Charlie HARRISON is in the hot seat. Elite JACKSON is stretchered off track. We wish you well Eliot.
14:02 // We've got a DNS for Spanish rider
Angel SUAREZ ALONSO.
13:57 // A HUGE impact for
Eliot JACKSON. Another crash to the head. He's being tended to immediately by medics at the side of the track and is conscious.
13:53 // Frenchman Alex FAYOLLE goes fastest.
13:48 // Switzerland's
Nick BEER - the 2009 European Champion races here for the last time. Best wishes Nick...the man with the best name in the history of mountain biking.
13:46 // Another massive slam to the head for one of the racers. Let's hope he's not allowed to continue for his own safety.
13:32 // Organisers report that
Tom BERSSELAAR has suffered no spinal injuries and no head injury, although he was clearly concussed, so I doubt the latter is strictly true.
#InForTheCount13:29 //
Wyn MASTERS is on track. He's fast but not fast enough to knock
MAES off the hot seat. MASTERS comes in second with a time of 3:50.861.
13:25 // Despite a problem with possibly his pedals,
Martin MAES takes the hot seat with a time of 3:49.863.
13:18 // Racers are back on track. Those who were already on track when there was a course hold will be given re-runs but we're not sure when - maybe before the top 20 final men.
13:11 // The rider -
Tom BERSSELAAR from the Netherlands has been stretchered off. We hope he has a strong recovery.
13:08 // That is a horrendous looking crash right by the finish line. Rider knocked out. Understandably there's now a course hold.
13:00 // The Elite Men have started and Germany's
Felix HEINE is sitting in the hot seat with a time of 4:02.238
12:55 // We can only imagine the cheers
Steve PEAT got when he came down the track as the official course 'sweeper' after the Elite Women.
12:50 //
Here's the full results list for Elite Women. Let's hope he had a beer waiting for him when he got to the finish line.
12:48 //
"I cannot actually believe it. I was sure Tracey would win, she's been riding so well in the dry dust...This track is wild...It's like a controlled fall all the way down!" -
Rachel ATHERTON - 2016 UCI MTB DH WORLD CHAMPION12:39 //
Rachel ATHERTON wins! CONGRATULATIONS RACHEL!
12:37 //
Rachel ATHERTON is now three seconds up but makes a mistake in the woods.
12:35 //
Rachel ATHERTON leaves the start hut and races past CARPENTER who's now being tended to by medics outside the tape.
12:34 // That's a MASSIVE crash by
Manon CARPENTER. She's holding her right arm and looks in a lot of pain. She crashed on the first big left-hand turn. We hope she's OK.
12:32 // 6.3 seconds back,
Tracey HANNAH slots into second fastest with
CARPENTER and
ATHERTON to go.
12:31 //
Tracey HANNAH loses time mid-way through the track. Can she make 7 seconds up somehow?
12:30 // Third fastest with more riders to go.
Tahnee SEAGRAVE is way back
NiCOLE's time.
12:30 //
Tahnee SEAGRAVE is 13 seconds back.
12:20 // 04:23.3 is the time to beat. Only a few more Elite Women riders on track.

NICOLE is on a flying lap. She takes the hot seat. She crosses the line 3 seconds behind
ATHERTON and
HANNAH'S timed-training run.
11:47 // Oops! Looks like the Tissot timing screen isn't working. The Elite Women are now on track.
11:27 // Here are the full results from the
Junior Men and
Junior Women.
11:14 // It's a Canadian Gold and Silver thanks to

Samantha KINGSHILL and France's
Flora LESOIN. Looks like Frenchwoman
Melanie CHAPPAZ was on a blinder of a run (second fastest through the speed trap and fastest at Splits 1 and 2 but something must have happened in the final sector as she crossed the line in eighth place, +51.829 behind the fastest in her field. Huge congratulations to Alessia on her World Champs win on home soil!
10:30 // Hello and welcome to the live timing and results page for the 2016 UCI MTB DH World Championships. I'll be taking you though the latest news as we get it from Val di Sole in Italy.

Shame about Gwin he always have bad luck with world champs each year.
i hope both those dudes stay with mondraker for at least a couple more years. the bike and suspension sure do work for their style of riding thats for sure.
This track was Steeeeeeeeep and Tech; and this is where the Mondraker Vanquished all !
Rob: well maybe he can ride a bike made of grass
Claudio: Well, he'd smoke it
Classic!
On the other hand, with Ratboy nobody knows what he really said ;-)
I think Ratboy is making a smart decision and i hope to see a more environmental friendly bike industry in the future, we as riders love the trails and the nature BUT WE DO NOTHING TO PRESERVE IT. I don't get people saying this is a foolish decision, they just don't understand or don't know a thing about environmental contamination.
Ah the irony huh...he rocks a 2 stroke mixture as his club or whatever logo.
Reported
Amazing.
Another way to look at it though, is that he simply freed up a spot on the circuit that will get snapped up by someone else, increasing that person's footprint by a similar amount to how much he reduced his own, making him a less culpable individual in an equally doomed world
At least you guys can watch Doctor Who live on public TV
Claudio: Look at the time.
Claudio: Oh, sorry, that's your line.
Rob: Ha. Well - yeah, cool.
Warner or Claudio kept throwing shade on Greenland's chances of making the top ten let alone the podium. I knew this dude was on the podium after seeing the gap he laid down on split 2 and no one was coming close.
1. He needed to finish the race, just finish it, to win the entire season.
2. It was raining a lot during his run, so there was no way he could have won anyways.
3. If all he needed to do to win the title was finish, why risk injuring himself with world champs the follow week, which is the one race everyone wants the most? That would make literally zero sense.
Why don't you really just say why you have a problem with him. Is it because he's American?
and I didn't say anything about being American.
What I was surprised by is why he unclipped immediately at the top of that little drop. Something must've spooked him because he didn't seem off balance or anything. Who knows.
You're comparing apples to bricks.
Get learnt kids
So basically all the other riders were putting down as their strengths like steep tracks, or technical riding, and all that good stuff.
But what did Gwin put? 'My brother Jesus and Father God'. I face palmed.
www.pinkbike.com/news/bikes-of-the-best-val-di-sole-world-championships-2016.html
In the video it looks like the wheel broke, but its actually just the tire and what was in it flying out. He actually comes to a stop and sits on the bike, which he wouldn't be able to do if the rear wheel was in pieces.
oh well
Look on the UCI website, it's on there.
Perfection is something that can't be improved upon, 97% points total can be improved upon, sorry for not being a sheep!
Nothing in the UCI rules qualify a Rider at the start other than 'Best'. Rachel finished 'Best'.
wot mate? u mad bro?? trafalgar square! Fish and Chips!!!
I'd suggest you take your negativity and go sit in a corner because nobody wants it.
Qualification points exist to have riders not play the Clock in anticipation of 'Acts of God'. So - and once more in finality - Rachels Race Runs were Perfect which make a Perfect Season.
Am certain Danny Hart is not funking over Qualification Points. Or that anyone wants to slow dance in a burning room with @hillman-hunter.
When all else fails and you run out of valid points, bring out the abuse eh?
and yes, you would be right
Dom: Ask any racer. Any real racer. It don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning's winning.
[Crowd cheers in agreement]
That said, while the guy yesterday was professional, he wasn't as knowledgeable. And more important than that? Rob is not the straight lace stoic professional XC, Road bike type AND NEITHER IS DH! Do we really want see DH get like XC, or worse yet, road?
Get well soon Jackson!!
Will it get a mention in main stream news, ABSOLUTELY NOT!! We'll get Mourinho's miserable f**king face because Man Utd lost to City - boooooring!
I really wanted something else for her this weekend. :-(
@freerideglory:
I know what you were saying, I was just saying how everyone appears on the same team except Hart, everyone else at least pretends to care when one of the other riders falls, not Danny though, pure killer of a rider.
Collapsed shock? it is not interesting, we will show you a helmet and no replay
A huge crash on the finish line? You dont need a replay, even while a 5 minutes red flag pause
Aaron Gwin crash? Technical problem? Final Run? For the first place? Leader? F*CK you!!!! Just see the Danny run.
....
F%CK IT!!! Again and Again!
I've never seen so many serious crashes in one race. UCI should really reconsider safety regulations for such events. I mean the Master Worlds where held just a week before so obviously the track is blown out.
It's more like rodeo than racing to be honest :/
Hope he get's well soon!
More news on Manon?
I wonder if Giant is kicking themselves in the ass for dropping Danny? Great to see him back on point!
last year I was on holiday and tried to watch a replay when I got back, but to my dissapointment for some reason it wasnt available.
Anyone have any clues?
Congratulations to all the champs!
Can't to see Finn run with big boys!
What happen to A.G.?
They don't seem to care about the browser working at all anymore. The Red Bull TV App via a smart device or set top box works perfectly!
They should at least tell people to try the app. Bull5h1t practices theirs!
Minnaar will have Luca Shaw on the team next year. And I would suspect they are looking for another.
Would I have stopped for that reason? No? I think that carbon footprint bull5h1t is just that. Bull5h1t!
But OTOH, and as an American (which is supposed to mean something) I support his making a choice and standing up for what he believes in. Respect!
According to this. www.valdisolebikeland.com/it/wcc-campionati-del-mondo-mountain-bike-2016/programma
Him and Laurie Greenland absolutely killed it today
1st, 2nd & 3rd.
Get into product development or something, full time.
Can't beat this!
Btw: Track is way too dangerous.
As I want you to be...
Danny wing = f*cking awesome!!
At least you have all that YT cash to drown your sorrows in
I think a lot of people misunderstood my post. He is not new in the sport but he is an up and coming rider in the elite level. So out of nowhere he blasts past everyone's time and kills it which pretty much surprised everyone.
So my #WhoIsGreenLand was because I'm sure a lot of people will be watching out for this kid next season. It was meant as a compliment not me expressing myself an ignorant person. However, I failed at that, oh wells.
You complete moron. Just because one isn`t doing it better doesn`t mean he isn`t allowed to criticize.
I'm gonna answer your question tho : "because"
And by the way, did you notice that Rachel Atherton looks exactly like Steve Peat with more hair and boobies?!!
OK I stop
you are obsessed with this comment section, aren`t you
