Has it moved? The date says the 15th but I was sure it was on Sunday and the counter still says 45 hours.

I'm sure it's tomorrow but Red Bull only show it on Sunday evening.

Ah that sounds more like it I assumed it was live, I did think 6pm was late for a start.

I thought ticket holders got weekend access, or has it changed this year? I thought there was a quali session of sorts on the Saturday.

They seem to be a bit more sane than the men?

I think Tannoy Seasick was there for a bit of the practice days, and she was pretty clear that there was no way she'd be doing it anytime soon.

Just because there are no women doesn't make it sexist and chauvinist. If Rachel Atherton raced against the men at the world champs she would have come in 73rd place.

Also other than Her and Myriam Nicole I doubt any of the other women have got it in them to ride the Hardline.

The results are in now if you can't wait until tomorrow, no spoilers from me though.

I was looking at something where they'd figured out some numbers...

One of the hip jumps requires an entry speed of 40mph to clear.

The last jump at the end leaves riders in the air with a trajectory of 65ft.

I think the women don't have the strength/speed to clear the jumps/ gaps

That is pretty much what Rachel says in that video above.
