 Same. Sweet shoe. 45 percent off didn't hurt, either.

 Gwin was flying through the first speedtrap....Something to prove I guess

 Must have come off going too fast as that run looks like it was a 17minuter. Held it together a little more consistently in run 2 it seems.

 It's timed practice, a lot of riders stop part way down the hill.
  • 19 2
 Fair enough. I didn't know that actually. Cheers.
  • 4 2
 His 2nd split time was faster than anyone else too. He must have goofed or slowed down some where along the track.
  • 1 0
 Yeah 2nd run with the slowest speed trap but quickest split by over a second. Interesting...!
  • 6 0
 wheres the athertons?
  • 4 0
 Gee's near the bottom of the list, he must have stopped on track and Rachel has some sort of infection but is meant to still be racing.
  • 4 0
 Gwin never shows is speed in time practice, I imagine the same is for most riders.

 Where is Stevie Smith????
Still injured??????

 Claudio!!!! Ha! Can't be a World Cup without that guy!

 It's coming!

 who will he be filming under? i heard the filming is somewhat restricted now...sponsorship regulations...

 ^^ Typical UCI anti-fun brigade at work as usual. No Freecaster (bringing the sport to more people), No 4X/slalom, no etc. etc. etc....

 Actually it's RedBull that made this rule, and Claudio does the previews for RedBull so I doubt that's why there isn't a preview. It's probably because the track was still being built up til an hour before track walk, and I guess it wasn't worth doing a travk preview after that.
  • 2 0
 remember that rockyroad site a couple of years back? dirt tv can't film anymore and their edits were great.
  • 1 0
 If the track wasn't finished until the track walk time, etc, he probably has to wait until everyone was done for the day. Then it has to be edited and uploaded and published.
  • 9 0
 Claudio's course preview is on its way. It was filmed yesterday. As with last year, his helmet cam runs are official Red Bull videos so no problems there. Can't wait to see it!
  • 2 0
 nice! lookin forward to it then!

 While your waiting on the edit, check him out here at Quebec: www.redbullcrashedice.com/en_INT/video/quebec-track-pov

 Is that really him doing the ice race? Thats rad. Claudio is the man!

 MOST underrated rider in the past 3 years: Troy Brosnan. nobody ever talks about him yet he consistently stands on the podium.
  • 5 0
 He has been on my dirt fantasy team since it started , I'm so sure he's gonna get a win soon , and be a regular top 5 rider.

 You got it. With two South Australian riders in the top 15, and despite it being very early days my 50 bucks is looking in good hands. #Kill_It Troy

 Hey, look @ gwin speed - 70km/h.

No one even reach this rate... It's early to say, but I'm sure he's on fire this year.

It will be interesting to watch on saturday. Can't wait!!!

 Fairplay to Gwin for charging it through the motorway section

happy to see Gwin is back!

 Timed runs are more useful for race organizers than for the racers. Racers are stopping and figuring things out. Race organizers want to make sure all the equipment is working, etc.

 Is Stevie still injured from that massive case? Hope not, really wanted to see the Chainsaw massacre out in full force this season!

 I think he's out for the first 2 races.

 Look at his first split time for his first run, 2min flat. Fastest of everyone in that split except gwins second run. Think he's building up to something.

 It's awesome to see more South Americans getting into the World Cup. Fuck yeah!

 Yep yep. Bring on the south americans! That would bring a whole new flavor to downhill circuit. More competition is good!

 There's a guy who bring over these guys from South America who are total pinners they also have mullets which I personally think is awesome viva la mullet!!

 This might be practice runs but i think it's already a good picture of the top finishers come race day. Maybe 5 out of the top 10 results will still change.. Only a big crash/ mechanical failure by any of the top 10 could affect the final results significantly.

 took Gwin 16 minutes to finish run #1 , must have stopped for a coffee
  • 1 0
 Yep, fastest at the first split, then slowed it down.

 Slowed it down? He FN took a nap for a few..........damn lucky that Tree didn't split the Troy Lee Designs into a TI / _D

See what eye did there DSDave?!

 Timed practice is totally pointless, they should just take go pro footage of the practice runs, nobody really cares about timing till race time anyhow

 Brosnan came to play this year. After a stellar season in Australia he's ready for WC this year. And where's the Bulldog? Hope the shoulder isn't holding him back.

 Speed trap in MPH or kmPH?
  • 3 1
 Lol kph. It's right before the big tables, if they hit those things at 70mph their bikes would just snap before ecen setting off

 Haha! Either that or they'd be going for a quad, braAAP!

 Was wondering the same thing then it clicked that 67mph would be ridiculous.

 Rachael sat this out to try and recover from an infection for qualifying and Gee only did one run and stopped during it so he's well down the list

he seemed to be ok. it happened pretty quick and hes got the reflexes of a mongoose!
  • 1 0
 WOW! what a flip! What happened? Did he clip his pedal? I can't tell...
  • 1 0
 Seems like the front tire washed out right at the lip and momentum took over from there. Hope he's ok.

 Thanks for the vid, that was a nice crash ! Too much dust I guess, hopefully he'll do better this week-end !
