So as you all probably know Qualifying is today and DH & 4X finals are tomorrow, the DH is on Freecaster at 18.15 GMT and the 4X will be sometime later, I presume about Midnight because the schedule says it's starting at 19.00 Quebec time (dunno if it's "Eastern Canada Time" or what).

Enjoy it everybody, I know will I cannot wait see to what Napalm has done in qualifying.

Freecaster link here. Tune in at 18.15 tomorrow for your monthly Rob Warner fix

Who's gonna win? I figure Minnaar. But Hill will be hungry for a win. And I'm hoping for Stevie Smith to get a podium of course!!!

Hm, seems the safe bet is Minaar which I wouldn't disagree with but yeah if it's wet which it probably will be I'll be looking to Sam to do something.

Blenkinsop and Stevie should so well too, and you can't count Peat out, ever.

Gee Atherton will probably be feeling confident after his win at the national champs last weekend, he'll probably be up there aswell i reckon.

The hip gap is huge! I guess the top section will make/ break the run though

This is the first track this year that I'm actually dying to ride.

It's exactly what I want in a track. Top bit is fast and open. Then a load of technical rocky and rooty stuff, then some more fast and flowy stuff with big jumps, then finish with some more tech.

I'd love to see Peaty take it, MSA is one of his favourites.

I'd also love to see Blenkinsop, Brendog, Stevie Smith, and Matti Lehikoinen doing well. They're all more than capable.

Haha, to all the Hill haters. f*ck you!

Looks like Hill had 'one of those runs'
I'd have liked to have seen that.

I know Big Grin I actually like being a Hill fan-boy now, as pretty much everybody has left him.

Brendan had a pretty decent time for a crash didn't he?
