Go Danny! Go Tracey!
I know it's not really quallies at the worlds but I am so looking forward to Sunday.
F1 at Spa. a quick ride and then beers and ReD Bull for the DH.
Really looking forward to what Valli Holl does and what she does next year in the Elite. Gutted about Nina being injured and keen to see what Tahnee can bring to the table.

Well quite. I will be following, but I am DHing Sunday. What time is it broadcast do we know?
Sunday 17:45 BST/16:45 GMT I think.
Can’t wait. Are red bull showing it? Pinkbike has a box at the start of their low down saying yes then says UK is a notable exclusion? I know it’s on the bbc, presumably online or via the red button.
Hope Hart does well, think it’s asking a lot of Tahnee so soon after injury but fingers crossed. Greenland stands a chance of podium too but the French look strong.
Can't watch it in the UK, need a VPN, I am not prepared 🙁
Get Windscribe. 10Gb a month free VPN.
I thought Redbull had extended their coverage to include the UK now.
excellent, i will shred hard in the park all day here in Sweden, wondering why i wasn't selected for team GB and then watch it online in the hot tub when i get back .Good times!
Perrion to Win, Women's is hard to call with injuries and revent injured returnies!
Thanks sofaking
Special beers ordered in - perfect evening!
Didn't Red Bull get coverage of the world champs at the last minute last year too?
Afaik the BBC are showing it live
Did anyone watch the BBC coverage last year? The commentary was a little lightweight. It's kind of weird them showing it, given that they generally give no ***** about downhill. How little coverage has been given to the amazing contingent of British World Cup Downhillers over the years?
RedBull aren't perfect, but they do put in the hard work to bring the live feeds year after year. And they have secured the rights for tomorrow.
Sounds like brook MacDonald has had a bad one , Reece Wilson too .
Yeah, just saw that over on pink bike - shitting awful. Fingers crossed for a good outcome for Brook.
Brook looks to have been very lucky/unlucky there. Speedy recovery I hope.
Would love to see Greenland up top but I can't see past a French too 3 in any order. Can't call women's as Tracey has'nt had to go all out at the world cups. Junior mens could be a good watch if it's in.
Vali Hoell destroyed the field again, she's absolutely insane to watch
Elite races start at 17:45, i'm hoping Tahnee can get a well deserved win, though the race may be a bit too soon
Can't find this on iPlayer or Redbull TV?
It’s in the events section on RB TV
it starts in an hour (17:45)
Anyones redbull feed started?
Can't find it on BBC and Red Bull TV wont let me into the feed.
on redbull here in sweden. not that that helps.
Working for me on redbull TV, I had to search for it though.
Playing ok on RBTV in the UK here, and casting nicely to my Chromecast.
Can't get it to play on redbull
I had to make sure my blueray player had updated the app before it worked.
working on redbull here
Worked fine here. Good race 🙂
that was nuts! lost for words....
Comeback kids. Amazing
My stream is weird, there's some old bloke with a 'tache doing Rob Warner's voice
was a little underwhelmed by the Women's race unfortunately. Cool story but yes wasn't really competitive racing. Looking forward to everyone being fit and firing next year with Valli Höll in the mix
This broadcast is an embarrassing mess. Why did the UCI not just hand it to red bull?
80% of the track not filmed, quality is awful, line choice atrocious. It takes effort to make a sport this exciting so bad to watch.
This is what football would be like if the FA were in charge of the cameras.
What a total shitshow the UCI are, they literally have no concept of what a mountain bike is do they?
Utter tripe.
Coverage tends to improve for the seeded riders. Getting to see runs properly now.
This Matt Walker lad seems to have put down a serious time, lots of big names nowhere near him.
Terrible ****ing coverage! Runs only dropping in at 4 minutes. Have they got no bloody cameras near the top of the track?!
Jack Moir , 8 Broken collar bones and a shark attack. !!!!! Now thats Nails....
Here's hoping it's Matt Walker that replaces Matt Walker on the hot seat.
Camera work is getting better
Great to see Finn put a run together
Yeah. I was wondering whether his enthusiasm would get the better of him and he’d crash out, but that was good.
Not on beeb? Waaaahhhhhhh
Is it not on the red button for bbc?
I hope this sticks. I like loic but come on brosnan
Same here , definately deserves it.
Ahh he's too good
Good day for the French!
Just amazing how few crashes there are at the speed they are going
shockingly fast. I have no idea how they stay on their bikes
What an amazing last 2 runs, I though Brosnan had it, and then wow.
Holy shitballs. The casual front wheel drift from Bruni before the rock garden.
Got to feel sorry for Brosnan. He laid it down.
Great viewing.
Greenland's run was terrifying to watch, so fast and loose!
incredible racing! poor Troy!
Gutted for Brosnan , but the 3 french lads (Pierron , Vergier and Bruni ) are amazing. From watching downhill and even road cycling none of them seem arseholes. As opposed to football with the big bucks where quite a few seem like dicks. Great race , chuffed for pompon as well.
Gutted for Troy, really thought he had it.
70+ kph on the rocky grass field bit! I mean really, that's nuts!!!!
Nearly had a stroke watching that! Amazing racing. Inspiring comebacks from the women too.
Stoked for Miriam, gutted for Troy. Always the bridesmaid. Still, Bruni... Just incredible 😮
really thought he had it.
So did I. Watched Brosnan’s run skimming the tops of the rocks and thought it was unbeatable. Then Bruni came down
Interesting neg. correlation between top speed and race time (just top 40)
Loved seeing Finn come down in the green, but my god he looks prone to a crash, one camera caught him overshooting and having to go superwide over a huge rock, how he held on I dont know! But when Troy was 1 second up at split 1 then 2 at split 2 I actually swore in surprise, really thought that was the winning run. Then Bruni comes down in the green, couldn't believe it!
The women's was a surprise, I guess with Rachel, Tahnee and Myriam out if gave the others space to win and build some confidence but then for Myriam and Tahnee to come back and go first and second says something about the gulf in the women's. I was kinda of excited to see what Valli Höll would do timewise as at some of the world cups her time would of won elite womens, but her time was above 5mins and would have placed her outside the top 5 I think.
Flipping brilliant.
And what a wonderful sportsman Brosnan is. There was about a short clip in the RB footage as he, Pierron, and Hart watched Bruni cross the line. Brosnan puts his head in his hands for a split second as he realises the result, and then comes up smiling for Bruni. Incredible.
From the second Brosnan crossed the line Pierron had a face like a smacked arse! He must have wanted it much more than he let on.
Gutted for Troy though. He's done absolutely everything right this year but look what he's up against. I think Finn will figure it out. It's not that long ago that Bruni was the fastest qualifier who would psyche himself out and throw away his race run. Now look at him.
Would be nice to see where Greenland slotted in without that puncture. He was on an absolute mission of a run.
Women's downhill is in a sorry state. The series leaders got smoked by two people that have been in rehab all year. No disrespect to any of them but there's just not the depth of competitors to make a good competition. There's 5 or 6 women in the world who can throw down a convincing race run on a DH bike and they're never all racing at the same time. I still really hope Tracey wraps up the overall next week, she's been trying long enough.
+1 the lack of depth and competition in the women's field was certainly clear. Not only is there only a handful of women capable of winning (and half of them are currently injured) but the gap between the elite and the rest is a gulf.
Is it just me, or has Bruni got a touch of the nico voullioz about him these days? Seems to be abel to step up no matter what the pressure bearing down is!
Have just watched the men's race and it was incredible.
Gutted for Greenland and Brosnan, there was one moment in Troy's run that probably cost him all of that but Bruni's run was just awesome.
Such a spectacle and so many great stories throughout, it really deserves to be a much bigger sport.
Isn't that exactly the correlation between top speed and race time you would expect - faster top speed correlates with lower race time.
