DH World Cup thread

[RustyMTB]

That's shocking. I still remember Bulldog's crash & even last season, I thought for a while Dean Lucas was done for. DH is gnarly.

Seeding/qualifying day.

Morning practice 8-9.15 first. Bike ready, sent him up.

 

[Weeksy]

P48/100 for the lad. Some mistakes but far from terrible

Whoop World champs incoming.

Bet your house on Loic, Tahnee, Max Alran & Heather Wilson. Your house, not mine. I'm always wrong.

 

[Type1]

The breaks been way too long!

 

[Mik3F]

Just waiting for the BBC to announce when the coverage is on iPlayer

 

[RustyMTB]

It's already in the guide. Saturday morning onwards on the red button.

Is it, I must be blind as I couldnt see it it at all

 

[Weeksy]

Juniors tomorrow.
My lad spent 5 days in Morzine riding with Sascha Mills who's racing in the Worlds this year so we'll be massively cheering her on tomorrow.
Really hoping we can find it live on coverage

We'll miss the Elites though as we're out DH racing

This was his debut on dirt jumps today

 

[JP-NZ]

Do any kiwis know who has TV rights? I cannot see it on the sky guide and staylive doesn't have world champs on their upcoming shows.

EDIT: Reached out to Sky NZ and was told they don't have the rights this year

 

[Mabman]

A few DH Dino's in this pic....

 

[JP-NZ]

The Junior Kiwi girls were 1st, 3rd and 4th overnight with Erice taking out the gold, her race time was 4 seconds faster than Myriam Nicoles winning qually time!

Also for any NZ fans its just been confirmed that full coverage is free on the UCI Youtube channel for us in NZ.

Heather Wilson.

Dead last. Told you to ignore my tips

 

[Weeksy]

Dead last. Told you to ignore my tips

Her split 1 was good, but it seems she binned it after that between 1-2. I think she'd have made top 5 if she'd have stayed on it, but that's the nature of the beast of DH isn't it.
I was sad to see Billy Pugh had a crash on his race run in turn 2 as i was hoping for a top20 from him.

It's amazing how fast these lot are though. George Madley has dominated UK Youth and Juniors for ages now, and i really do mean dominated it... But at worlds level, he's not quite hitting the top... Which just shows how impressive they all are.

 

[RustyMTB]

Didn't see the race but the gap was so much I assumed it had to be an unscheduled dismount. She's one to watch though, fast as you like.

no-one has seen it

I was watching on live timing only....

This makes me very very disappointed indeed.

 

[RustyMTB]

Ah, I suppose it's a perverse kind of comfort to know I didn't miss a race that no one could watch

 

[CarolinaCrawler]

She was also 3rd fastest in split 3 and 4 even after wrecking. Tough girl.

Womens elite 11:20am, mens 17:45 UK time on the red button.

 

[cozzy]

Whats all this red button nonsense about? I haven't used terrestrial tv for decades but plugged an ariel in, did a digital tune, went to bbc, pressed red and see EastEnders, MasterChef and celebrity race and that's it.
Looks like tiz-cycling will be the goto as usual.

 

[Spin]

SBS Australia has the British commentary team. Tracey Moseley and , who's the guy ?

 

[RustyMTB]

My guide changed from the racing to some athletics meeting. Weird. Still showing the mens at quarter to six though. The UCI site says women at 12:30pm, men at 2pm so not a live broadcast.
