Premature end to what he said was his final year, shame.

Premature end to what he said was his final year, shame.

I don’t think a collarbone break will take him out for the season. He’ll be back to training indoors in a couple of days and probably riding outside again in 2-3 weeks. Plenty of time to come back stronger for World Champs. The last time Kulhavy won world champs, he broke his wrist about this time of the year…

Isla got a career best 8th in Andorra U23s, be great to see her get top 10 again, Annie had a good start but lost places, and VdP went backwards!!! Altitude sucks (literally it seems).

Lenzerheide photo preview on pinkbike here.

Looks really good! hopefulyl MVDP get back to battling Shurter

LOL are we sure that’s XC ? Looks a bit technical !

I lvoe the look of all that rooty stuff, thats what XC mt is about IMO. As for the vertical drops to launch off – fuggeddabowdit 😆

So, Mont Saint-Anne in Canada today, overnight rain should hopefully make things interestingly favourable for the UK riders. As always, live streaming on Red Bull TV, women @ 5pm, men @ 7:30pm BST.

querty, who you got for the womens race?

Belomoina’s still in great form. I don’t think Neff’s racing this one which is a shame as it’s a good track for her.

Nino should get it done in the guys race.

BFS – Annie Last cos she’s a UK rider & my mate spanners for OMX in Europe.

second choice = Yana Belomoina – just to hear Barts reserved excitement during the commentary.

.

Would be great to see Annie do it again.
Rissveds back and the Canadians going for it on home turf.
This should be a good one.

Annie Last off to a good start, not so much for Jenny R.

Interesting Batty has made a fast start as its more normal for her to start conservatively and come strong later.

Great to see PFP appears to be back on form, hope she can keep it going.

Tough course at MSA, seems crazy riding Beatrice on an XC bike – i’m sure there’s plenty on here (myself included) that’d be struggling in a much bigger bike.

Kinda looks dry but greasy.

Anyone else having a very patchy feed?

Feed solid here (samsung tv app), but usually if RBTV can screw up somehow they do.

Jenny not looking like she’s got much here. Shame.
Agreed re PFP, she’s crazy talented. Looking good for the World champs.
Feeds been ok for me.

Anyone else notice we seem to be lacking camera positions this year? For example why no camera here:

8th is a good result for Annie.

RBTV must be reading this thread, camera in above spot for mens race! 😀

Decent race if somewhat predictable. Good to see a couple of different people challenging the podium though.

Val de Sol is living up to its name. Beautiful.
