The results are in from Qualifying at Lenzerheide. In the Elite Men, Danny Hart would set the fastest time of the day beating out current series leader Loic Bruni by only
0.106 seconds. Coming in third Troy Brosnan was less than a second off the top time and he will be looking for redemption after his worst result of the season last weekend. Greg Minnaar and Amaury Pierron completed the top five and were the only other riders to come within two seconds of Danny Hart.
For the Elite Women Tracey Hannah was back at the top setting the fastest time by nearly two seconds. Nina Hoffmann is back up to speed and finished qualifying in second position and Marine Cabirou didn't have the best time today but she will be looking for more tomorrow. Veronika Widmann and Emilie Siegenthaler came across the line around eight and a half seconds back to complete the five fastest women. Vali Höll and Thibaut Daprela took the top spots once again in the Juniors and proved their prowess after taking large amounts of time from their competitors.

Ah, pinkbike community, where asking a question gets you neg propped.
Why do you feel guilty? LoL
Hart would have won the last race if he hadn't flatted. And if the tracks were steep and wet I honestly don't think anyone would stand a chance against him. He's by far the most comfortable rider on a sliding bike that's ever raced. He's like Marc Marquez. Watch his Val Di Sole run and there's a couple times where his bike totally looses grip at Mach 10 and he doesn't adjust, freeze, brake or anything. It's pretty nuts.
In all other countries cyclist arent seen as parasist (okay maybe excluding some parts of Germany(
I would suggest to not go visit Austria for MTBing- Go to Switzerland or Slovenia.
Yelled at by the Wirt at Plumsjoch for even dare to ride there.
A few designated places that you'll see in the tourist brochures and bike mags (Sölden, Saalbach, Lermoos), but the reality is that you're technically not allowed to ride on anything other than fire roads and even then you're on dodgy ground.
Even Bavaria is more accommodating than Tirol.
And yeah- your trails rock.
Also Forersters etc. have the same rights to "arrest" you than policemen here- its insane.
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side.
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling,
It's you, it's you now, must go and ride. (AND WIN IT)
Wunderbar!
You made my day !
Was looking great after timed practice ????
