Results: Tahnee Seagrave & Dane Jewett Win Elite Q2 Qualifying at the 2026 Whistler DH World Cup

@VorsprungSuspension: good points. It’s a hard one. Top 5 in the world protected from the year before? Or protected at a race you podiumed at the year before? It’s tough not seeing the big guys in finals but I do think having two chances at the venue which you will “race” finals on is reasonable fair and gives everyone a chance at there favored track. Going up to 45/50 men for finals would allow the top dogs a little more margin, especially in Q2. Also maybe more practice time would help? I'm not sure if its possible to have a fair race for all and have the most talented/biggest commercial names there every week.

@betsie: He throw his bike of the track to get out the way off other riders and was shouting and pissed off, so I think physically fine. At a guess
