Whatever you do take some Smidge. Riding home from the pub last night was like riding through a sandstorm there were that many of them.

Don't tell me that. 🙁

Surroundedbyhills and I are off tomorrow, spool excited.

Don't tell me that.

But that's just standard Ft.Bill info? Smidge and a midge net ftw

It's ok just now with a breeze and sunshine, but crikey, last night was something else.

Ok tell me what i need to know for sunday, just got the day with gondola ticket. When will the gondola be available for non-racers, will the queue be epic.

We ususally get up early and walk down the course stopping for each rider. Its great for photos and general heckling!

What are the times of the DH practice and race sessions ? The UCI official site is saying "under construction"

All. In here

Danny Hart first in TT result yesterday 🙂

Here's Danny Hart.

Well bit of a shake up in the womens quali, Manon pipping Rachel by 5s with Hannah in 3rd - then 4th is 17s back.
Does Tahnee Seagrave have an injury? Timing has her as started/dnf. Also the only other close to the top 3 ladies was Katy Curd in split 1 but no sign of her after that?

So I'd say the podium will be Manon/Rachel/Tracy in any order really.

Tahnee has ligament damage (shoulder?) so was unsure how she'd cope with the track but was going to give it a try once her physio taped it up.

Fair enough guess she will be out there tomorrow.
Bit of a shake up with Gee out in front, few people having a big drop in places out on track - Minaar was fastest in split 2 I think before dropping big time in the lower half. Gee must have nearly caught Bryceland on track too.

Looks like Greg Williamson should make the top 10 too.

Should be some good racing tomorrow!

And Eddie WTF Masters!!!
Peaty out qualifying Bryceland and Minaar???
Adam Brayton 5th?

Could be anyone's tomorrow

Peaty for the win.

Massive headwind down the final section for some but not others?

I was watching the tissot feed of the lives, people were dropping at random sectors so not sure. I'm guessing it's the fact it's a big long brutal track lots of places to make a mistake

Hats off to Mr Brayton! If he can just find a couple more seconds in the top split he could be right up there tomorrow...

Good a time as any to repost his Schladming RAW amazingness:

Bit of a downhill spectating newbie so go easy on me!

Anyone know anything with Danny Hart's runs? His training run was 12s faster than Gee's training run and Gee's time today - would he have missed a section out?
Today he'd lost a stack of time by S1, but managed to claw back an impressive amount by S2.

Peaty out qualifying Bryceland and Minaar???

Anyone else got no sound on the 4X stream?

what stream is that Dez - got a link ?

fortwilliamworldcup.co.uk or extreme.com

Bloody annoying with no sound though!

[edit] sound just this second kicked in.

Bit of a bummer reading this thread as I have hopes of being there for Peaty's last orders. Too much procrastination, life lesson learned again there.

What's up with Ratboy and Minnar this year?!

Anyone know if Peaty will be in the live feed?

thanks Dez - sound wasn't worth much in the bit I saw, mind

No, live commentary is never great. Then my stream froze up for the men's final. Which was jolly annoying.

Updates from social media Greg - puncture (definitely one to watch) Hart - crash

Also Rachel crashed, Lost about 10s in the woods (on video) possibly in the tartan bag for her...

Saturday was rather a good day. Great atmosphere, amazing weather, friendly riders, fantastic racing! Surroundedbyhills and I took most of our crew on a family ticket, and rode in on the blue route. 8)

(Sorry about the scratch on the lens ruining most shots 🙁 )

Well bit of a shake up in the womens quali, Manon pipping Rachel by 5s with Hannah in 3rd - then 4th is 17s back.

Rach had an off in quali, my money is still on her for the win!

Does Tahnee Seagrave have an injury? Timing has her as started/dnf

Think she came off earlier in the week so I'm guess she's just resting for racing as she's protected?

Also, fair play to Ed Masters, rad result! Looks like it should be a good race.

(Danny Hart's) training run was 12s faster than Gee's training run and Gee's time today - would he have missed a section out? Today he'd lost a stack of time by S1, but managed to claw back an impressive amount by S2.

Yeah, it was a couple of seconds faster (4:40 Danny's timed training vs 4:42 Gee's qualifier) and Danny will have done a full run in timed training.

Looks like he crashed in the first sector in quali. Shows he's on pace for the win though. Stay on your bike Danny!

Does Tahnee Seagrave have an injury?

Yeah, smashed her elbow up at Rhyd Y Felin BDS last week I think, and just rolled out of the start gate in qualis. Not sure if she's racing today or not.

Where are the start times - forwilliamworldcup.co.uk has no information (start times under construction - useless)

jambalaya - check out the tissot time website higher up, start list is there. Ladies have started already, no TV coverage.

Antennae - I must have misread the times, thought it said 4m 30 for Hart.

@hammer - thanks yes just seen red bull coverage doesn't start till 1430 UK time so no ladies 🙁

Btw, just re read my post, seems it auto corrected tissot to tosspot. Completely unintentional!

Rachel Atherton long way ahead at S2.

Atherton, Hannah, Carpenter, Curd.

Well done Rachel Atherton!

And Eddie WTF Masters!!!

Had a chance to ride with him for a bit at EWS, he's fit, strong and fast as ****. I think he works pretty hard at the image, to make people think otherwise 😆

Glad I checked on here I was scrambling around wondering why I couldn't find the live stream on red bull TV. It's a pretty poor show not putting on at least the latter part of the ladies.

For those on Red Bull the top 5 women go out at the start of the broardcast, I'll be back then

is it on any virgin channel at all?

Is Rob Warner on the Grecian 2000?
