Columbia 'bout to lose their minds. Marcelo is on a tear, guy strikes me as such a hard worker. Also, Gwin's bike broke and he finished on foot.

@poah - I'd rather think some a-hole spent too much time studying data from data acquisiton unit then got depressed cuz pornhub went down so he had to cheer himself up by listening to lecture by Brian Cox. As professor went on to the meaning of life and his times at REM, his mom called and gave him hard time about going to church, so he got angry as all bad flashbacks came up and messed up layup on Gwin's frame

Gwin and Bryceland fastest split by a good margin.... probably studied lines from then on.

jmbrit (Jul 30, 2015 at 15:00)

Brian Cox is a legend amongst men, know your place.

Gutted Quintana didn't get the TdF this year, I feel sorry for the morons thumbing folk down for mentioning it.

Marcelo, beast man, WC winner? Hmm not so sure. It's a strange one isn't it considering how he does at garbanzo etc, WC are undoubtedly hard to come by even for the elite.

@jmbrit - why would you think I have anything against Brian Cox?

AllMountin (Jul 30, 2015 at 15:55)

I actually think you probably like Cox.

philly92 (Jul 30, 2015 at 16:24)

Very well caught there scriz! Bryceland and Gwin pushing 3:00 flat for the first split time, bloody fast top section! either of those 2 to take the W.

Carloso (Jul 30, 2015 at 20:35)

You're right dude thanks a lot.

thingswelike FL (Jul 31, 2015 at 3:14)

Josh has published a helmet cam run on YouTube. I timed it at 4:21.
(there was some editing at the rock drop, but it looked about right time-wise).

Specialized took all pictures of it off the internets and is suing anyone who talks about it. I'm probably going to get sued for this comment.

Dammit im sued again for commenting two times

Carloso (Jul 30, 2015 at 20:29)

Hey I'm the first Colombian from man who talk here? Where are my people. I grown in Manizales and I'm lucky to meet marcelo since he was a teenager. I'm sure this guy have all for win because the results of today wasn't casualty. It was the result of years and years to work hard. I wish the best to Marcelo and COLOMBIA (WITH OOOO) need this glory to put next to Mariana Pajon and Nairo Quitana. Saldos parceros ate. El Monta

z05m (Jul 30, 2015 at 20:42)

I'm Canadian and I must admit after seeing Marcelo take the Crankworx DH in Whistler last year, it would be great for Columbia to win a WC in DH. Marcelo is a very sympathetic racer and all round great guy.

Carloso (Sep 25, 2015 at 12:30)

Z05m thanks My friend for your support.i promes you I never smoke about a Canadian jokes ever. That's my way to say thanks. (It include the joke about canoe)

T-Bot FL (Jul 30, 2015 at 15:05)

I don't mind that timed training means nothing to some people but it's the 1st of 3 results for me. Each one gets more exciting.

dchill (Jul 30, 2015 at 16:26)

Call me old but I would like to see Minnaar take some more wins! The man is a legend

reverend (Jul 30, 2015 at 23:02)

Dang. 93? You are old.

... and yes, it will be fun watching Minaar win again. Whether it happens Saturday or not is anybody's guess.

rockin-itis (Jul 30, 2015 at 14:40)

Get after it Brendog!

robd420 (Jul 30, 2015 at 15:46)

Go Stevie!! I'd love to see him take the win on home soil and let everyone know that he is back in form. Brendog is up there too, he deserves a podium position as well.

z05m (Jul 30, 2015 at 20:39)

He did a few years ago.

masterdox97 (Jul 30, 2015 at 14:47)

Bruni in 3rd and blenki in 4th !!!
Tight fight between "brothers" tomorrow

Pininator (Jul 31, 2015 at 0:05)

Bruni is my gut choice for this one. Did well up until the finals here last year, so you know he's wanting redemption...and his 1st WC win, too!

tommyboy250 (Jul 30, 2015 at 16:29)

I heard Remy Metallier was going to be racing his first world cup here. Wonder why he is not listed on timed training?

surfct (Jul 30, 2015 at 20:06)

not all riders are allowed to do a timed training run - depending on your overall world cup points e.g. sam hill couldn't do a run either ...hope I'm right with this

Pininator (Jul 31, 2015 at 0:28)

Only top-60 men get to do timed-training.

thustlewhumber FL (Jul 31, 2015 at 5:48)

Remy? Excited to see him run against everyone.

bigburd (Jul 31, 2015 at 9:28)

He will probably do not so well and go back to smoking unknowns at his local

HankBizzle (Jul 30, 2015 at 15:18)

Anyone else read that apparently Remi Thirion has broke his ankle?
Bummer if true.

mdg3d (Jul 30, 2015 at 15:40)

His ankle doesn't look very good in the photo he posted. Too bad.

SteftStilo (Jul 30, 2015 at 22:52)

He broke his ankle on Gee's chin...

Pininator (Jul 31, 2015 at 0:23)

That sucks...healing vibes!

hayden19 (Jul 30, 2015 at 20:06)

Danny hart needs to pick up the pace a bit. Only 6kp/h through the speed trap.

CT-lowrider (Jul 30, 2015 at 16:08)

Neko on Fire ! Put it down man,,, beasting out the last couple weeks with wins,,, keep it PINNNNNNNNNED....

Gav-B (Jul 30, 2015 at 15:49)

Ratboy took the fastest time at the split. Watch this space...

oriion (Jul 30, 2015 at 15:51)

Brosnan will win this weekend. There i've said it.

LSDbrand (Jul 30, 2015 at 14:46)

Fuck yeah Marcelo!!!!!

patwr450f (Jul 30, 2015 at 22:17)

any guys in the top 20 can win. this is where the sport is now.

gramboh FL (Jul 30, 2015 at 15:18)

Anyone know if Eliot Jackson is racing MSA?

Pininator (Jul 31, 2015 at 0:19)

He's there...hopefully to race, but not sure.

jeffsworks (Jul 30, 2015 at 15:54)

I know the timed training means nothing but......GO STEVIE!!!!

n1ck FL (Jul 30, 2015 at 17:24)

BLENKINSOP always has a strong showing. How many WC podiums has he had?

Pininator (Jul 31, 2015 at 0:29)

One win and lots of other boxes. He's rarely off the pace barring flats, etc.

itsdylanbrown (Jul 30, 2015 at 17:41)

*fingersed crossed for Stevie*

shuwukong (Jul 30, 2015 at 23:33)

Thank god the dh world cup is back, I'm sick of enduro and slopestyle

hollowing2000 (Jul 31, 2015 at 3:05)

Greg Minnaar 21st in timed training... Then wins Mt Saint Anne come Sunday. Pinkbike goes like "what the...".

Lawman (Jul 30, 2015 at 14:07)

no Sam hill???

adrock-whistler (Jul 30, 2015 at 14:12)

I'm thinking he's outside of the protected rider group and doesn't get to take part in timed training?

jackalope (Jul 30, 2015 at 14:15)

pretty sure its just optional, and a lot of guys just don't bother.

Pininator (Jul 31, 2015 at 0:01)

I think he currently has the number 81 plate. Timed-training is for the top-60.

patwr450f (Jul 30, 2015 at 22:16)

best joke i ve heard for long fredhay

rrsport (Jul 30, 2015 at 14:46)

Rachel is dominating now...

Pininator (Jul 31, 2015 at 0:04)

If by 'now' you mean 'the last 7-8 years' then you are spot-on!

rrsport (Jul 31, 2015 at 1:11)

You clearly missed Manon and Ragot out riding Rachel in recent times...

bikesandfun (Jul 30, 2015 at 14:55)

Come on Bruniiiii

Pininator (Jul 31, 2015 at 0:18)

Hopefully he can find his Crankworx mindset...which seems to be working pretty well at the moment.

colincolin (Jul 30, 2015 at 16:36)

Gracias for explaining! Makes me like the Team even more!

shastasc (Jul 30, 2015 at 17:32)

What happened with Gwin?

vroomvroompartystarter (Jul 30, 2015 at 19:30)

WAR BRUNI! Do it for the Frenchies!

Batipapo (Jul 30, 2015 at 22:53)

Gwin is holding his cards back.

mrwynnewillson (Jul 31, 2015 at 2:06)

What happened to people on 7 mins +?

patwr450f (Jul 30, 2015 at 22:27)

go blenki

MtlWoodworker (Jul 30, 2015 at 18:32)

Haha 4:20....

Bradjaymc (Jul 30, 2015 at 20:14)

im glad I am not the only one who caught that!

ridayobike (Jul 30, 2015 at 18:42)

Sam Hill is back!

hollowing2000 (Jul 31, 2015 at 3:08)

Yeah. He's back in Canada.

murfio (Jul 30, 2015 at 14:23)

NorthVanMan (Jul 30, 2015 at 16:37)

Quebec, more specifically.

fredhay (Jul 30, 2015 at 17:02)

His lines were so unusual that the timing gates were fooled.

Pininator (Jul 31, 2015 at 0:02)

Timed-training is only for the top-60. Hill is 81st at the moment.

Bryceland is not part of the Syndicate team aymore? Why is there a blank space under his name?

baliizuu FL (Jul 30, 2015 at 14:11)

Not a Trade Team... Mean UCI guys.

taskmgr (Jul 30, 2015 at 14:12)

this is answered everytime. technically they are not a trade team, so they can't list their team names.

CalinRoman (Jul 30, 2015 at 14:37)

Got it.

colincolin (Jul 30, 2015 at 14:51)

Sry not a native speaker. So can someone explain to me what a trade team is?
I mean I can guess it's a team that doesn't trade athletes. But was does the UCI have to do with it?

jeffakalucas (Jul 30, 2015 at 16:13)

A trade team is basically a VIP Team in the eyes of the UCI. VIP Teams pay more money, they get upfront parking spots and some other fun stuff. To qualify as a VIP team you have to follow the UCI rules. Team Syndicates jerseys didn't match closely enough to each others (between minnarr, peaty and ratboy) for approval from UCI. Neither of them budged and Syndicate isn't a trade team!
