I have only just realised I'm in Morzine when the WC DH is in Les Gets.

We come back just before it as we've got to head to Malverns

I have picked. This is always a bad idea this early on, the chopping & changing will inevitably undo me. On the bright side, Andorra is a perennial favourite, among other things, Gracey coming unstuck right at the final corner & Loic storming the course & ending Jackson's streak are moments seared on my mind.

Cracking place to ride and go to, the trails are superb and the lifts are empty... I'd happily go there instead of Morzine and sit in a queue at the top of Zore for an hour each day.
I didn't ride the WC but the boy spent all day on it.

I've also got a memory of Dak on a flyer there & crashing while in the green but can't recall when but it was around the time he developed a reputation for being the nearly man.

Also, the world's most entertaining track walk video.

That is going to be insane. Take ear defenders. Although, Morzine is quite the way from Les Gets, you certainly wouldn’t want to walk it. The madness and mayhem may not be as full on in Morzine but I suspect a lot of people will be staying there as there is a load more accommodation than LG.

we were there for the World Champs in Les Gets and it was, absolutely insane yes... utterly bonkers in a very very good way.

For those International fans or kiwis, MTB WS has just released an app so you don't need to use the browser on mobile devices anymore.

Great to see!

Well I’m done, picked and fixed. Couple of dark horses in there, but four big hitters to hopefully get some bonus Qualifying points.

Yeah it's getting a bit harder now as the prices change, you can't have a stacked field of certainties now.

My big tip is avoid Sacha Earnest, who said she dislikes flat fast tracks. Or did she?

Both Sasha and Vermette came last in timed practice. Not much info out there as to why, but enough to scare me off.

Myriam Nicole is out with a broken finger. Fun fact, her nickname Pom Pom comes from a pony she owned as a child.
