Finals:Jack Moir | Downhill race day here in Poland. What a wild and wonderful day. Weather caused a few dramas and definitely affected our boy Mush but holy what a run he had at that point of the race! I thought he was surely on for something good today. Up the parish!— Jack Moir |
Ed Masters | Ronan Dunne take a bow my friend. And so to the pivot groms!! Finals day delivered!!! enjoy, I did!!— Ed Masters |
Troy Brosnan | Not gonna lie, that was a little bit disappointing, especially since I was confident to really go for the win, but my tyre choice let me down on a track which was a LOT drier than I expected. But I'm down in one piece and hungry to improve, so let's move on to Leogang with a positive mindset!— Troy Brosnan |

Troy Brosnan | Tricky and mixed day here in Szczyrk! The track is insane and I've had a lot of fun this week, but had a bit of a crash in semis which put me out of contention. Qualis went well though and I've got the pace, just need to keep it rubber side down tomorrow in finals! Nice work to Luca for the 3rd place, let's smash it again tomorrow!— Troy Brosnan |

Tegan Cruz / UR Team The track here in Bielsko-Biala, Poland is awesome! Plenty of jumps and a lot of natural loamy sections until the rain came! It's getting tacky as the wet mud mixes with the dry dirt underneath forming some ruts. This is making the track even more fun for the boys! Jump on board with Tegan Cruz for a lap in the wet. Race day is going to be interesting as it looks like we will have another spell of rain to mix things up with the ever changing conditions.
