    I was thinking it’d be tomorrow and just noticed it’s up and running.

    Looks like Gwin just needs to get a point to secure the overall title.

    I nearly managed to overcome lethargy and laziness and go for a ride today, you just wrecked it, you fiends!

    Anyone know when it’s scheduled to end?

    It’d started but Redbull are showing the preamble at the moment, rather than the lower ranked riders.

    Nicole looked brilliant up top and still a mile off Atherton, pretty imperious stuff that…

    (I think I’d hate the track in these conditions!)

    Incredible season from Rachel, I hope she gets the wider recognition she deserves.

    Interesting (well, to me!) how many female riders are using air shocks on a steep, non-pedally course. Rachel using coil.

    Air shocks seem to be coming back in, you’ll see them on a lot of the guys’ bikes too.

    No live feed here. Just some nice swirly Red Bull logo thing and mood music. Both on the TV app and website.

    Anyone else getting that?

    As someone who lives in Scotland it’s hard for me to get my head round a track being too dry .
    Blimey Sam b !

    Working fine for me.

    If chainless enables suspension to work more betterer wouldn’t this be the track to do it on?

    Was that a suggestion that bryceland might be stopping racing ?

    I heard it as ‘without Peaty to motivate him, he might drift away’

    Working fine for me on the Apple TV app.

    Loved Adam Brayton’s run. I’ve always wondered why Bryceland is as well known as he is, but then I’ve only been watching this for a year or two so I figure he used to win a lot more.

    Spoke/typed/posted too soon. Looks like a flat had him off.

    Cracking course although sections are more about falling with style than riding a bike.

    It looks steep on camera so I can only imagine how steep it must be on a bike! Even the spectators are struggling to walk down!

    That rain looks heavy , maybe gwin will take it easy to protect the overall

    The psychopath grin again from Hart while the others react normally to a crash 😀

    Haha great Gif.

    Really brilliant 3 in a row for Danny. Eyes on next week now!

    Not how you want the race to end really but good result despite that! Hart’s run was outstanding even if the conditions hadn’t changed, might have been enough. Everyone who was writing him off last year will be quietly pretending they always thought he’d do it 😆

    And I know not everyone appreciates Gwin but that’s one hell of a season. Winning the overall with some margin, with a team that’s new to the world cup, and a load of unfancied brands on board…

    I always thought he’d do it 😆

    Next week should be cracking.

    Bryceland pretty much DFL, did he crash or just roll down doing craaaaazy whips n stuff?

    Crashed twice sadly.

    He came off twice.

    Weird isn’t how every season it’s Gwin & someone else on roll, was Atherton, then Ratboy now Danny Hart

    Crashed twice sadly.

    The second time he crashed rather comedically, unlike Ferrán Jorba Prats – that tree looked painful.

    Well done Danny Hart, again!

    I didn’t think much of it as a race, though. The course was utterly trashed by the time the finals were run, way too dusty and with some huge ruts that preluded much line choice.
