While it seems that many riders didn't take timed training too seriously this morning, Aaron Gwin and Rachel Atherton have finished their runs noticeably faster than their closest competitors. For the Juniors it was Faustin Figaret of France and Manon Carpenter. Junior Timed Training times will be used for seeding purposes for the final, while for the Elite riders it's just a chance to see how fast they're actually going...

Hahahahahahahahahahahah well said! get outa here trolls! negative energy tisk tisk
Having missed Pietermaritzburg at the start of the season from injury, and STILL take third in the World Cup, and now a timed run 5.9 seconds ahead?! Damn girl, i hope you can keep that pace up!!
Interviewer: "Did you feel the pressure to put in a good performance today after Gwin's destroyed everyone all season long...?"
Sam Hill: "No... Who's he...?!"
Aside, I want Gwin to take it for a number of reasons, one of which is to see what next years riding will be all about. Racers responded to Sam Hill a wee while back, and racers are going to respond to Aaron (I think so, at any rate).
