Seriously impressive from the Brits, doubt it'll even get a mention on any mainstream websites....

Madison have been getting the press releases onto the BBC and she is on Welsh C4 this afternoon

Are they showing the entire men's field?

Seems to be a lot of filler at the mo.

So it has to be asked, why isn't this shown live on Eurosport TV or whatever other sports channel? Would be nice to be watching it on the big screen (I don't have HDMI on my laptop 🙁 ).

What gap is there between starters? are we looking at a couple of hours until they get down to the business end of the rankings?

Eurosport used to show highlights, but I don't think even that's on anymore. Maybe Redbull have all of the rights?

I've just dropped to 540 from 720 and it's hanging in there. Actually have to work in the morning so I'm staying with it. It's worth it for Nige's insights into the bike industry whats that wheel size, carbon stuff eh eh eh eh eh

540 seems to work best for me too. The commentary is ace!

Warner seems to be guessing pronunciation, seen at least one pic with him clutching a can of Carlsberg.......could get messy.

Oh jesus, looks like they are showing the lot.

I loved that though, remember watching some of the women pushing down the track in 2011? Sometimes the pros make it look a bit easy, it's cool to see excellent riders who could make me look like a monkey, still shiteing it, puts it all back into perspective

Did the gardening, made a spanish omelette and still back in time for the good bit. Don't have the luxury of four hours to sit in front of my PC sadly.

Anyway, Mulally!!

Proper course that, if you can go quickest with no chain then its a proper DH race....pedally tracks like Peitmaritzburg are crap in comparison.

Not quite sure whats wrong with Gwinn these days, and Nige, sounds like he's trying not to cry in the box there. Long shot for me is still greg, man for the moment.
