That’s TODAY, not tomorrow. On Red Bull TV. 1.30pm

Bruni and Ragot qualified fastest and Sam Hill will be coming down early after a slow run (probably fell off).

Should be plenty of thrills and spills, sounds like the track is fast and sketchy.

12 seconds between faster and slowest qualifier means it should be close. Looks very loose though…

Not a long track either. There’s got to be 10 or 15 guys who could win it.

an hour to go, lots of line choice and a new track should fun

Secondary PSA: Switch off social media now if you don’t want the result of the women’s race spoiled.

Read that Brendog was Disqualified in qualifying but is still in the finals due to being a ‘protected rider’. Anyone know what that means?

some riders get to race on the strength of how well they normally do.

It means that the top20 racers get to compete on a more or less level playing field, i.e. you’re not going to lose an entire season based on the fact that you may have had one duff qually run on one track…

I read that he crashed out in the top section and didn’t complete his qualifying run. But as a protected rider he’s guaranteed a spot in the finals or something? Did Bryceland not use his status at Fort Bill, ie didn’t do a quali run due to his injury but raced on Sunday?

yep, so long as you start qulai you race if you are protected. Deals with puncture/crash/mechanical stuff and also if you are healing up you can give it a go without punishing yourself.

and looks like we are live with Red Bull now

Quick question – why does it always switch from live to dvr when i try and watch it? – is it due to my crap broadband connection?.

Not noticed that on mine.

Does yours keep buffering?

No buffering but every few minutes it switches to dvr and i lose the live feed so i have to switch it back to live.

Ho-Hum….perhaps it means i should get out and ride my bike instead 🙂

Nice to see so much of the runs- much better presentation. I know it’s because it’s not live but still, much more coherent.

that was a big exit….

somafunk – you’ve probably already tried knocking the quality down a bit?

Kenta gallagher! **** me, I’d missed all that.

“We are having technical problems please stand by.”

That’s well timed

yes feeds gone down. bummer/

Gaaargh, I was watching that!

:sadface:

more than just camera #1 that’s toast then

booo, I was enjoying that 😥

I think warner may have overheated

apparently a camera overheated earlier.

Oh no! Was planning on a lazy couple of hours, now I’m going to have to get the bike out 😥

😐

I’m not moving until it comes back on.

(Am getting some work done though)

I’m hoping the replay has some footage and not just the sorry card for a chunk of time.

Still standing by. Now with an ice lolly.

Warner’s shirt is a shocker.

Bollocks to it, sun’s out, I’m off.

Raining buckets here with a slight touch of thunder & lightning, resorting to the occasional f5 on the red bull page to see if it’s up again.

Ah well, i guess i’ll just wait and read about it when my issue of Dirt turns up.
