For our lunchtime entertainment the juniors are about to start and the weather is still holding up. They won't be the case later during the elite qualies.
Van Leuven, Sanchez and Bouladou are joined by another fast kiwi in the ladies race.
For the lads, I can't see further than Pinkerton or Kiefer today.
Drone footage is great through the woods, much better than previous rounds.
Must be bloody annoying and off-putting to have that whirring away a few feet behind you though.
It's this weekend? Excellent PSA, thanks.

they wont even hear it as they are concentrating
I'd bet that they barely register the chainsaws
Jordan Williams crushing it in qualifying.

hmmm, it's worth 50 points fo'shure, but also it just tells the other riders what the target is to beat, I'm not sure "smashing it" in qualifying is necessarily the smartest move under the new rules Isn't Jordan protected rider now as well?
Is the DH finals Sat or Sunday this week?
I think being almost 2 seconds clear at the head of the field in your 3rd Elite race is not exactly a bad message to send. It's not like the other riders aren't trying.
He's been vocal about how much he enjoys the track when everyone else is having a whinge. Good luck to him.
@MSP they're on Saturday
Reece Wilson didn't make the semis by 0.179 seconds.
Minaar and Oisin DNF, although Greg is protected for the semis. Antoine Vidal DNS, hopefully that's nothing serious.
It’s not like the other riders aren’t trying.
He hopes. If you think that the likes of Kolb (7th) Vergier (9th) Illes (24th) and Bruni (16th) not to mention Jackson and Greenland can't match or better that time, I've a bridge in London I'd like to sell you 😂
Blimey.
That'll polish out
Carbon fibre doing what it does best. Being incredibly strong and saving up damage ready for a timely release.

Chill out mate, I don't want to fight about it. Is it my use of the word 'crushing' that hurt you?
I should have just said well done Jordan, who went slightly faster than everyone else who is definitely not riding at full speed yet.

Yeah, I'm chill, just banter, sorry (see smiley at the end of the post?) words lost in translation
It's that frame the one from the privateer programme?
Does Wyn do crash replacements?

Uhh do you not remember when Williams won his first ever elite WC? Of course he can be better than them, because he has shown he can be.
JW (I'm going to start calling him Jay-Dub) set the fastest time of the day last year when the track was in the worst condition we've ever seen. He's obviously loves the place.*
I'm not calling him for the win it's just amazing to see him so strong, so soon.
I've been following this since it was the Grundigs I know predictions are pointless.
*I've been there I'm terrified of it.
Wow thats quite a spectacular failure. Do we think he will get a crash replacement warranty claim for it
It's alright he just borrowed it. After he had all of his own bikes stolen. He's having quite the season.
Update. He also (Roger Vieira) qualified 34th. Not sure what bike he used!
What a few results qualies threw up. Hart back in top 10, Greenland second, and those young ones still smashing it. Williams set the fastest time as a junior last year, beating Vergiers winning time, so no reason to think he won't smash it this weekend.
Nice to see the womans competitive. Shame Tahnee is a little off the pace so far this season.
This looks so easy. He's not even breathing

well at least it didn’t implode on him

Brutal.

Qualifierssemi finals are now live
Hell hath no fury like a GT fury, does the privateer programme come with medical and dental insurance 😂
Vali Holl is trying to get that woman sacked!
Blimey.
Took me a while to work out this wasn't some kind of para-DH handcycle.
Jay Dub 1 second back with a rear puncture. His run looked so clean and undramatic. The kid is a killing machine.
Wtf happened to Greenland? This coverage is mad.
Why would Cedric Gracia leave to commentary for the last 3 riders down ? It's the business end of the semi finals and your hype guy isn't there .
I think the novelty of the semi finals has worn off for me and I'll just be watching the finals now .
Hugey for Tahnee in finals.
She's nervous about injury already so that's not good for her. Looks OK but was nasty!
I think Tahnee came back too soon, she needs to get her head right, maybe see a sports psychologist, she's riding with the fear. Hope she's okay.

He crashed before the first split. It doesn't matter who's broadcasting, we wouldn't have seen anything in any case.
Just following the live timing as I’m not a subscriber, times are getting slower. I’m guessing it’s raining now?
It's looking very slippery out there, but they're going from dust to slick and back again all the way down the track. Jacob Jewett just had a fairly wild ride, credit is due for staying onboard.
The commentary is much less shouty this weekend. Much better, for me at least.
BRUNI!!!
Awww that's a shame, he was looking swift, chain jam?
Dunne made it clear that there's potential for the top ten to nudge Kerr off the podium...
Hart looking fast and ragged
