Thanks. I thought it was just because of the enduro and xc clashing last time, thats a shame!
Looks like Finns a DNF on Q1....
Amaury out with a broken collerbone!
 
I'm hoping Finn's only had a mechanical or I'm screwed.
 
Just out for a ride and stopped for a coffee and a mate is watching it on French terrestrial.

Looks dusty.. lots falling !

Phenomenal rider, especially for a guy who's eight stone wringing wet. Pleasing set of results all round, happy to see Troy & Marine back to challenging, Aletha Ostgard looks a real talent & maybe Pivot backed the wrong junior? but pretty happy to see Roger Viera the journeyman get into the show & stick in a solid performance too. Shame about Amuary & Anna Newkirk though.

Must admit I was rooting for Thibaut, that would have been a fabulous story, Gwin part two if he'd held on to the win.
 
I always find new races on new tracks hard to predict for. I hope my fantasy team can do well.

La Thuile track does look sick though!
 
Cathro argued Vergier & Bruni have a slight advantage because they've already had a go on it. Not sure about that. I'd say Vergier & Bruni have a slight advantage because they're stone cold shredders. I'm sure everyone else will get a few laps in to puzzle it all out.

I saw a video from Theo Erlangson and he just kept saying how steep and loamy this track is...it's going to be interesting.
Also saw another video (can't remember who posted it) of the actual angle on the last feature...it's insanely steep for a final feature at the bottom of a long and challenging DH trail.
 
the WYNTV track walk was pretty interesting b/c there was more insight about setup and how the track is going to change over the course of the next 3 days with practice and Q1/2


PS: where can i stream Q 1 & 2?
 
Rainy day here, would have loved a cuppa & qually ☹️
 
Enduro doesn't get much attention round here for well discussed reasons but La Thuile put on a night stage which I reckon is pretty cool. Right then, back to the proper racing.
