5. Gwin under fire (still)
A newly tweaked Specialized Demo has arrived for Aaron with a slightly longer back end which has only added fire to the rumours that he's struggling aboard the big red 'S'. He went out in qualifying and attacked with his extra 19mm of back end - an over the bars relegated him to 53rd. The pressure is (still) on...

Really looking forward to this one! Can Hill return to winning ways or will it be Gee again? Is the one for Stevie Smith? Joe Smith looking good for a podium? What will Gwin do this week? On the women's race will Manon get her first senior win or will it be Rachel again? Maybe the French girls will mix it up a bit.
Very excited!
Kinda rooting for Manon, I wouldn't be surprised if everybody had upped their home for round three.
What time (uk) is it shown live, in the pub and don't want to miss the action.
Very excited!
Yeh me too. I can't see Rachel/Gee getting beat tbh. We shall see.
Dismantle some parts from the bike, shower then settle down to watch it with a few beers. Bring it on! š

This reads bad in Oz...
Go Gee and Mick, but reckon it's Sam's track. Also good luck and smash it for Jess Stone qualified in 11th, great rider and raced with her at her first ever DH race
This reads bad in Oz...
Please elaborate š
quarter past two uk time, till about half four.
live on redbull.tv which is where i will watch the catchup this evening
ride o'clock
rooting in Oz is something you do with your significant (or just met) other
Does anyone know what time the race is on?

Edit: damn my trigger finger is getting old
11 minutes!
No wait, 10 minutes.
Nein herr Northwind
Anyone know how long it's on for?
Hill has a good chance if he stays on. Gee can ride steep stuff with the best of em, so I think it is between these two.
woohoo and we're off!!
Rob Warner's voice sounds a bit husky.
Locked in, Apple TV, Doritos and Hieniken.
Off to the turbo with the laptop. Seems like a good idea right now, will not in 10 minutes
Way to go Rach.....
Unstoppable this season!
Cunny: "There's a big hole on the right"
I'm sure I saw two on the left.
Ooh, that was brutal
ouch.....
this track looks brutal
That was Rag-doll through and through...
Rach and Manon - rocking it for the UK! 8)
Pressure is on for Gee to keep up the Atherton doubles!
A lot of big names pretty far back on quali times, Stevie Smith should be much further up, looking nice though
That man seems to have fitted a megaphone to his chainsaw
Wtf is that chainsaw all apart... š
That crash was a proper rubber-neck moment šÆ
heli went off ages ago, what's the hold up?
[quote=chakaping ]heli went off ages ago, what's the hold up?
looks like the helicopter is still above the track
*edit*must have been a delay in getting him into an open enough spot to safely winch him up
Just tuned in, who was it that went down?
oh yeah, he's off now
š
[quote=mrblobby ]Just tuned in, who was it that went down?
cam cole, he went down hard!

Check the video feed from the 1 hr mark. Nasty.

Steve Smith still holding on! Love this track.
Oh, FFS !!
Wtf.
Tossers.
What? but...
You shits! I've got to take the chicken out of the oven at 6, and make gravy and shit...

No one told me ITV4 were running the coverage for red bull....

Should be just in time to miss the last run. š”

5pm uk time so back in 7 mins.
keep the spoilers off here if anyone's watching the results feed
Sweet, just had time burn to the shop to re stock on Doritos, jalapeƱo fire!
Life is good, life is good.
Don't look at the FB/Twitter feed to the right.
Someone's broken it...
Is there any way to turn off the bloomin feed? I managed to avoid the spoilers but when I was running it on the laptop earlier, all it'd update was twitter, not the video!
Still not working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bloody temps.
back up š

If you're using Chrome with adblocker you can right click on the twitter feed window and click 'block element'.
Refresh like a mofo, you have about 10 secs
This is a touch glitchy....
and we're back!
back
Warner's nipped out and put 50p in the satellite
hot seat's not changed in meantime
Don't go near FB... there's spoilers šæ
jesus, thirion was pinning it
Let's see what Sam can do!
Awesome ride Remi!
Wait... Is Thirion a Kenda sponsored rider that actually uses Kendas? I thought they all also had marker pen sponsorships.
š
Awesome wc. Thirion was on it in the steep stuff, the track was properly crazy, the crowd were nuts and Aaron Gwinn gave my son his red bull cap!
Some of the of the crashes were really nasty but loved the chainsaws š
Anyone seen updates on Cam Cole? I've looked on his twitter and a google but got nothing...
Hope it's nothing serious.
The line Remi took at the bottom was ridiculous! I didn't see much of the lower qualified guys, was he the only one that took that line?
Cole was up and moving initially so hopefully not as bad news as the helo suggests, that hillside must be a nightmare to move people about on. He looked well out of it though.
Saw him give the thumbs up but was bloody horrible
Someone told me it was a broken collar bone, and he was ok.
Time for a neck brace sponsor for Cole š”

Healing vibes, was a horrible crash.
Nice little indie HL video here -
