Steve Peat, current points leader in the World Cup standings, was injured yesterday with a separated shoulder. Steve said of the crash "It was my second time down... I was just cruising, hit a soft spot ,lost my hand and hit a tree" . Initial estimates put him out for 4-6 weeks. That should open up the field and puts Nico at the top of the list of favorites, with rookie phenom Mick Hannah not far behind.

Dual qualifying gets under way within the hour and as usual, Lopes and Bootes seem to have the narrow, superfast course dialed in. On the women's side, Anne-Caro and Leigh Donovan are ripping it up. I'm really looking forward to seeing head to head racing. This has been an eye opening experience. Watching the World Cup racers on the Dual course is a thing of beauty. The level of smoothness and skill is unbelievable. Got to blast, qualifying get under way soon!
