Thirion or Gwin are gonna take this one I reckon. This track is a much better start to the season than South Africa too! Can't wait.
.
Holy moly, this track is a beast! I cannot wait to see what happens tomorrow!
Still going for Loic for the win.
Good to see brendog back in the top ten.
Hill has an injury, not entirely too sure what it is but there may even be doubt for Fort William.
I really want Loic Bruni to win a few rounds, after coming so close last year it would be great to see him finally win, first in quali, winning crankworx, i think this could be his year!
Gutted I can't watch this round as I'm at work this afternoon, the track looks so good. Nice mix of everything. I'm rooting for Bryceland still.
I reckon Rachel for the win, though I'd love to see Myriam get it.
In the men's it'll just be who can make it down fast without binning it.
Can't wait for this to start! Miami Bryce for the win - it would be a great comeback and his interviews crack me up!
I reckon Rach for the womens but the mens is really hard to call! So many racers who could win on any given day atm.
I don't even know who I want to win the mens' race now Hill is out, but whoever gets it will bloody well deserve it!
Track looks amazing.
Ratboy for the win, it's a real shame that Hill is out. Probably my favourite rider to watch.
Some mis-maneuvers...
Put all hot drinks down before viewing....

This is a PROPER DH track. In fact, it might be too hard:
Mrs T is at work this afternoon, and the kids don't want to go out, so that's my afternoon sorted, as long as our creaky internet doesn't go down.
Looking forward to it. Claudio's preview is great.
EDIT: Thanks for the link unklehomerd. Brutal.
Well hoping it doesn't rain, there could be as much carnage as there was in Cairns.
Anyone know start times for this afternoon, I'm out and about but want to make sure I'm back for top 10 men.

C'mon!!!
Well looking good on Chromecast
Dh on laptop,roubaix on tv,moto gp on phone and recording superbikes.
hmm why can't I get the live broadcast to come directly through the chromecast like I can with the other media on red bull tv?
Grr - my crappy internet means I missed Manon and Rachel
Bit jumpy and buffery here too, looks like watching it on shonky VHS.
Good to see Ragot back on it though.
Well, the woman's looks wide open for the year.
Though there may be some names recurring in the local hotel reservation lists
Fairplay to Ratboy for riding today
and minaar with his hand taped to the bars by the look of things
By the Aussies quali times I reckon a winter of good hard riding has done them a lot of good.
Gee obviously suffering after yesterdays stack....16 seconds down on Gwin (with top 20 qualies still to go)
Am wondering if Gwinn deliberately rejoined the course much lower in quali yesterday, knowing that his dqf would mean he would get to do his race run earlier. That could be a huge advantage on the dry course which is getting more blown out with every run.
Bit of gamesmanship?
had to give up on the raspberry pi and run through to the PC
Disappointed with only 5 women and 20 men, its an online stream, it surely goes with out saying I'm specifically interested and want more than just highlights... 😡
Well considering the ladies were not breaking Hannahs time from Quali riding early might be a good thing as he has taken 5s of Bruni from yesterday. Though I think the balls out approach could work for somebody today
Come on guys, anyone but Gwin!
Bit of gamesmanship?
On a course that rough and considering how fast Gwin goes, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt in this case.
Chromecast's working perfectly here. The coverage seems a big step up to me on previous years. More cameras, better positions, boom cams...
Shame it looks like no one's getting close to Gwin.
Some run for a privateer there!
That Rudy guy can ride!
Redbull live feed not available just as we get to top 10 men. Ffs
That might not have been Gwin fast but it looked damn good
Running fine here on the mobile/chromecast.
If Brendog was getting closer I reckon it's squeaky bum time in the hot seat.
gwin is back in Jesus's good books.
It's a shame that Gwin took all his time on the part of the course with no coverage...
gwin is back in Jesus's good books.
Hmmm, Lourdes must be like home territory for him.
he's been on the holy water all weekend.
That rock garden looks so nasty
It reminds me having got down Ft william in 04/05 and Canberra in 09 (avoiding the massive gaps) that the track level has ramped right up in the last few years. The road gaps and massive doubles/gaps are now making these serious elite tracks
