Rach hit all the motorway jumps (except the Tissot) way better tucking and chainless than she usually does when pedalling with a chain.

Live timing

They all look the same anyway on that tired ol midgie ridden track

* Not really 🙁

red bull tv is just so so crap, you then remember why you don't follow downhill/televised mtb

Yeah, the stream is a bag of shite. Is it the STW IT dept by any chance?

Christ! My heart nearly stopped then when Finn stumbled at the top of that big drop, I think Warners did too!

Oh and yes the stream is a bit pants occasionally it I think the production guys have done a great job with the cameras making the track look good

Had a couple of drop outs on the stream (usually flawless) liking the footage, good mix of track given how many sections that are pointless  putting cameras in for 3s of footage. Not sure what the back seat directors want (that is practical)

Hell of a run to get the hot seat there, could last a little while longer

What's the point of the procore system other than save your rim?

edit, wasn't a flat, a rear brake failure.

Means you can finish better and a lot quicker than a full flat, might get you the extra 10 points that makes a difference

Stream good for me, but I have got superfast fibre an all that.

Took a restart of the app and Chromecast to get the men’s broadcast working.

Reece Wilson will be sweating his way to the podium at the moment, looks like Gwinn managed an unfortunate stem/tackle contact there which would probably send most of us crawling home

Nasty fall. Always takes me by surprise when Gwin falls. Just don’t expect it.

My internet is poo, so I'm watching the live timing...

lacks some of the excitement and appreciation of bike handling that you get from video footage, I must say!

Another syndicate flat!!

A first time winner and a season still wide open, great for racing for the rest of the season though, another fun race though

A shame for Shaw, but a good race overall. Pleased for Seagrave in the women’s race.

Top of the men's table is incredibly tight now, one more bad result for Fein and it's going to be a real fight.

Danny Hart just didn't look on it from the start - the sitting down thing on the boardwalk kinda signaled that I think? Would have been the perfect day if he'd taken the win along with Tahnee

Could be an interesting end of season if these young guns keep the performances up, talk was of Luca Shaw being over a second up before his flat (or that could just be an awesome new bike!!) Here is hoping for the season to stay tight and evenly spread the mechanicals

Just back from Fort William , the weather was excellent apart from just before the 4x last night when there was the biggest downpour Ive seen in a while. Reece Wilson  and Tahnee were the stars of the show for me. Also Nigel paige who mades my sons days yesterday telling him his Nukeproof looked the business outside the Aldi in Fort Bill. I hope it isnt the last ever one as Its a great weekend.
