 Blevins rocked it. He was so close. Wouldn't that be cool to get a medal in the men for the US? I wonder if Avancini is going to go crazy on thursday and try to get something to show for his crap season.

 Blevins has built a huge engine and his bike handling skills are unbelievable. Go Blevins!

 Avancini is a beast. His problem is he goes out in front ALWAYS! If I were his coach I’d tell him…actually I demand him to go out 3-6 and stay there till the last 2 laps then burn the matches

 @hamncheez: The chance to wear a Rainbow jersey in short tracks - a pretty big deal I'd say, especially for the team and sponsors....

 I take it XCC does not determine the start order for XCO as with regular WC events. if that's not the case someone please correct me.

 They appear to base the qualification on top 20. Would hate to have been #21 in race 2....
