The sun came out after lunch on Friday and the top riders were straight up the hill for their timed practice runs. With strong winds forecast for Saturday, there is a chance (and we’ll know at 11am) that qualification will be postponed until Sunday morning, so riders were taking every chance they could get, with some riders going non-stop to get their lines right on the rapidly changing course.




We’ve made a gallery of some of Chipps’ shots from timed practice, so if you can’t be here at Fort William, you can see some of the riders and bikes that are being thrown down the mountain (sometimes quite literally).
