Jill Kintner flatted on her qualifying run, but should be fast tomorrow, here's what she has to say about her new Norco and the event so far.

bigquotesJust finished up the seeding runs here at Mt. Buller. Nice day, sun was out. I personally got cooked, red face and arms, but small price to pay for a sunny day in the mtns. The course here is as rocky as it gets, just finding a little flow is the trick. I've been loving it actually. The new bikes handle amazing, so this track is a ripper for testing all kinds of speeds and impacts.

For seeding run, I am stoked that Tracy Hannah is here to race against, but unfortunately I got a flat half way down my run, so the real battle will be tomorrow. Keep em guessing. About 7 ladies, so I am the first to go, which is sweet. Tracy had a fast time, and won the quali.

In the mens, Troy Brosnan, Sam Hill, Bryn, Ricky Boyer, Rhys Atkinson. Top 5. Bryn said he was a little tight, but happy to get his first race over with after so much time out. New day tomorrow!

Some fast juniors here too. Australia pumps em out! Jared Rando has taken over a little bit of coaching duties, giving these rippers some structure. He's kinda like the new Scotty, but darker

 Can't wait to see what Tracey can do at the world cup's.

 You have to remember that Troy is very fit because he has just come off the back of a world cup season, where as Sam has had to sit at home,

 Troy beat Sam by 5.35 seconds in the final. Troy went faster than seeding, Sam the same time. Troy the boy beat Sam the man. WC will be interesting, who will Gwin it, get desTroyed or will the Hart rule the head.....

 I think Troy IS BETTER than Sam Hill, not his style, but faster
  • 1 1
 Mate no one on the WC is faster than sam hill. He may not be very consistent, but but he is the most insane rider there for sure.

 Damn, everyone is talking about how Sam is getting back on form this year and then Troy comes out and puts 3 seconds on him. Save some speed for the rest of us dude, it's a bit selfish. Wink

 Not fair to judge on one race though is it, anything could have happened in Hill's run. From the info here he could have crashed for all we know..
  • 2 0
 yesok is correct. So look at round 1..... Oops, that is 2 out of 2 that he has done it. Oops 6 seconds at Champery also!!!!! This time is only Qualification, so we will see what happens tomorrow.

 Its only qualifying guys, he could pull back the time in the race runs.

 The desTROYer wins again. over 5 seconds this time, Sam with the same time, Troy going faster.

All the Sam fans are going to be Hart broken this year, he might Gwin nothing Wink

 I'm tired of hearing Sam Hill fans making excuses for the guy. Face it, there are faster riders out there now, and he will never again be dominant like he used to be. Troy is now faster, and he isn't even close to Gwin on most WC tracks. Where was Graves?

 troy and sam are my favorite riders and its awsome to see them on top!

 Tracey Hannah SOOOO needs a full WC ride for the season. She is someone who is finally able to beat all the Euro Women who keep winning all the time.

 its gonna happen, the lad is scary fast, keep an eye on Fearon too, when he starts up in elite men, the duel between him and Troy will be outstanding.
