    Does anybody know where we might be able to watch the World Cup dh-ing from Fort Bill?

    I can’t make it across but it’s probably too much to ask for it to be on TV…

    Freecaster? with Rob Warner’s dull, monosybillic, unenthusiastic commentary??? 😉

    😆

    Thanks guys. Rob Warner’s dulcit tones are better than nothing.

    I’ve just seen that the 4x is on Eurosport 2 at 11.15 on Saturday night.

    Freecaster it is then, unless I can persuade the wife to let me drive across to Fort Bill…

    If you do make it, get a single lift pass up to the top then walk down as the lower qualified riders are coming down so you get down to the bottom for the last 20-ish riders. That way you get too see most of the riders up close then get the the atmosphere of the finish arena as well.

    Highlights from the DH races are also listed on Eurosport 2 on Sunday night.

    I’d suggest the new road gap into the berms just below the forest will be a good place to watch.

    Thanks.

    For some reason the World Cup doesn’t show up when you search on the online listings on Sky.com
    They only show the Sky Sports stuff.

    I know what I’m doing on Sunday from 8 until 9.30 now though.

    Good way of doing it if you haven’t been before. However, watching the fastest guys on the top section was the best day i’ve had up there.

    It will be interesting to watch all of it tbh, as we’re supposed to be going across to ride the track next week.

    I wonder if the road jump will be open to the public??? 😯

    nah it’s not going to be open outside of the world cup (and maybe the BDS I’d guess)
