Steve Peat is a local hero and can never be counted out, 15th in qualifying...
Greg Minaar has won a lot of World Cups over the years, and more than a few overall titles.
Matti Lehikoinen was no exception and was getting as flat as anyone else, Matti qualified in 11th and is in a good position to advance on that tomorrow.
The top section is all about rocks and the riders love it. Fabien Cousinie
Another pan and not the sharpest from the day however the colours were just leaping out and as a photographer i had to include it.
Manon Carpenter qualified in fifth and looked pinned all day, not bad for one of the youngest female racers on the circuit.
Danny Hart, qualifying in third against the best in the world and showing style like this in that qualifying run. Best of luck to Danny tomorrow, could it be his first world cup win?
