You always tend to go that bit faster for your race run and today I made some really small mistakes, but all those add up into time that can be made. We'll see how it's looking in the morning and then shred in the afternoon! It's just between me and track that's all it is. There's ten people that could win the race so that's not for me to worry about, just do what I do and hopefully do it well. I've had a bit of bad luck this season with illness and a stupid crash in Australia with those conditions and it all just didn't go my way so I'm glad to be back in Europe now on proper tracks with a proper set up. Just ready to lay the law down now you know hopefully- Danny Hart - GIANT FACTORY OFF-ROAD TEAM |
We made some serious changes to the bike at the BDS, ride height and compression changes and did everything we could to ensure the bike was going to role very quick because we knew the track was going to be smoother come the world cup. All those things came into play today, but we still have to do it again tomorrow! It was a 5.30 start this morning, which is fairly unusual so we had to get everything nailed down yesterday and it was all very weird, no one around, no spectators. I think there's been one schedule to a World Cup like that I can remember since I started, which was '96 and that was Maribor in 2009 because of an electrical storm. So a strange day!- Dave Garland - GIANT FACTORY OFF-ROAD TEAM |
I've been doing a lot of work in the off-season, trying hard to get to that next level and I trusted myself today and made it happen. Definitely it was an advantage coming here 3 weeks ago to do the British round- got some good practice done and got all the major settings dialed in. We've been feeling good, almost a step ahead of everyone else so I'm excited, just gotta do the same thing tomorrow!- Troy Brosnan- SPECIALIZED RACING DH |
I've never been last man down the hill before at the World Cup, but I dunno it's just a race run I've probably got another hundred thousand races to go. I'll go out, cruise along, have fun and hopefully yeah get the win- Troy Brosnan- SPECIALIZED RACING DH |
