World Championships 2007

[Transcend]

So worlds is on. 2 xc events are already finished, and Dh practice started earlier this morning. It's wet, about 100% humidity and really clouded in. Sweet.

Hey cupcake,

I will see you tomorrow afternoon. I suspect my hands will get dirt working on the bikes.

I expect that you will know where to get the good coffee by then? Please say yes. Pretty please?

[Cant Climb]

Is the DH track as "over prepared" as the xc track....?

The xc track looks like a rail trail.

[Greyhound]

Sam needs some speed holes in that hood---costing him at least .0000001sec. right there!!

[Fakewade]

Man, I've been waiting on this! Im heading over tomorrow and I can't fecking wait!

Transcend, please post some more pics, I don't think I can wait till tomorrow!

[Transcend]

Check the gallery on transcend, adding more there now as I dry out. It's gross, bring waterwings.

[Fakewade]

Thanks! Hey, It wouldn't be Fort Bill if it wasn't wet! Although the weather forecast for the weekend is suppose to be dry, but I wouldn't count on it!

Anyone heading into town to catch the Dirt photo exhibition?

[sayndesyn]

I like the roost pic of Kieran. Or at least it looks like him...

[dbp]

I see that littermag (http://www.littermag.com) has also started to ramp up it's coverage.

[caballero]

good to see such fast an good coverage..... thx. transcend and littermag

[davetrump]

hope your having fun in that weather fraser... then again it is fort bill, so it couldn't be any other way.

Looking at Litter, I see a pic of Fabien and Tracey........
So, is fabien going to be able to race?? (broke foot or something in whistler right?)

Fraser, make this a sticky yo.

[mattmatt86]

please tell me there is chicken wire or grip tape on those bridges.

[DylanDeanDesign]

so..

IN
- Barel
- Peaty (even if he's hurt... i don't think he'll abandon unless his foot falls off.... even then, it's questionable! ;))
- Rachel Atherton

OUT
- Leov
- Llanes :(
- Atkinson




oh yah... bridges are gay, regardless if it's a great course or not

[jvnixon]

Bryn isn't racing but he's there. Rachel Atherton is back as well...

[Fakewade]

I know justin havukainen hasn't been racing WC this year but does anyone know if he's racing at the Worlds?

[Tenacious Doug]

oh yah... bridges are gay, regardless if it's a great course or not
Not as gay as riding through the bog that they cross would be!!

More coverage here (Fraser and I are sharing the love between Transcend and DW this week).
www.descent-world.co.uk
www.descent-world.co.uk/blogs
http://www.flickr.com/groups/descent-world/pool/

[Tenacious Doug]

Also, our plan is to build a monster gallery of flickr images over the course of the week, we are encouraging anyone who is up at the Fort to upload photos with the tags "FortWilliamWorlds2007", "descentworld", "monstergallery". Then folks just have to do the necessary search and you get a huge gallery of Billy photos.

its simple, thats a cutted Tube.

[hellonasty]

Any live timing of the seeding runs on the web???

[caballero]

makes sense.... you won't ride through your own mud comin' from the front tire... nearly everbody does that since years

[Bobodaclown]

I'm packing my stuff now, getting the train up there tonight..it's gonna be good..

[chriscarleton]

Thanks. Nice to see Rachel back on the bike riding strong!

[banj]

And kicking a$$ too, they didn't have those results up yet when I posted it.

[Dogboy]

Looks like Minnaar qualifies first in Elite men.

[big-ted]

From DirtMag: "Elite Men 1/ Minnaar 4.53.32 2/Gee Atherton 4.53.38 3/Camellini 4.57.20 Sam Hill and Steve Peat where further down the pack in the 5.05 region Gee Atherton was flying and said he had plenty more in the bag for Sunday"

[FlipFantasia]

time to hit up litter otb......

[Bobodaclown]

Come on Gump!! Gee looks rather pleased with himself..
An Miss Atherton well she always looks good;)

I can't wait now just need to actually pack my stuff an go.

[dante]

weather game?

[Bobodaclown]

Weather is meant to get better as the weekend goes on..Think its mean to be clear an mild weather on the sunday..its all building up now its gonna be amazing

[Transcend]

The weather is supposed to be decent now for the rest of the week, not so much weather game. Don't use these for litter otb, as most riders were sitting up.

[FlipFantasia]

Fraser, does the weather actually look like it will be clearing up...
Shall see you up there will have my St George flag flying from my back pack

[caballero]

seedings are online at UCI site...

lots of pics here -> http://www.nzride.com/worlds07/images/day01/day01gallery/content/index.html

[banj]

From CanadianCyclist.com

On the downhill side, British hope Steve Peat is racing with a dislocated foot (finished 13th in qualifying) and top Canadian Junior Steve Smith is sporting a cast on his right hand after breaking a bone (he still finished third in Junior Men qualifying). He says that he has already crashed twice in training because he cannot grip the bars properly. Former world champion Greg Minnaar (South Africa) has an ongoing shoulder injury, but still qualified first.

So it's not looking so good for the great canadian hope. Anyone have anymore info on this?

Anyone see any full results posted yet?

[General Lee]

only a broken hand. . . the way that kid rides--and crashes--i figured he'd have broken himself clean in half by this point in the season.

If Smith was healthy, and could stay on his bike, i don't think any of the other jr.'s would stand a chance on the ft. Bill track.

[biker3]

If Smith was healthy, and could stay on his bike, i don't think any of the other jr.'s would stand a chance on the ft. Bill track.

can u elaborate?

[Transcend]

Steve h as a broken hand, he still qualied 3rd with 2 crashes.

If your in the UK watch BBC, BBC wales, BBC scotland. all is showing live DH on sunday from 2-4

[Transcend]

Transcend will have the finals live as well as 4x tomorrow. Should be a good show! Also check the broadcast schedule on Transcend, many countries have a live feed or recap happening.

Poker, a hot dog eating contest, and a fascinating show called
Rock of Love starring Bret Michaels and 20 undercover prostitutes.
Enjoy.

[dante]

anything on tv here in the US?

not only nothing on broadcast tv, but there's a company that's specifically blocking the internet broadcast to anyone with an IP in the US. then they're not even going to broadcast it live, only show a 52min "highlight" sometime after the event. :rant:

To the internet geeks out there, if I use a proxy server in, say, South Korea, with that screw up the streaming video since it has to bounce around the world first resulting in slower download speeds? Surfing with a foreign proxy server sucks, can't imagine trying to watch streaming video... But yes, I'll definitely be trying this as soon as the video starts playing, and keeping my fingers crossed...

97' I think...

I do not know why WC does not go back-classic track but poor accomidations, etc. I do believe there are some small italian events there.

Everyone must remember, the UCI has pissed many a venue off, and just does not want those hacks back.

[norcalbiker]

Thats too bad that they arent doing classic courses. I always thought the UCI was organized and had a good rep.

Not sure, I am going to give it a go. I am only going by what the UCI website says.

i was under the impression wcsn was the company that owned the rights in the first place???

maybe I misunderstood....
am I wrong now in my new thinking according to RATM post via UCI.

We can watch live in the USA if we pay wcsn 4.95$

Freecaster is FREE but only for non usa IP addresses?

I am on mac so having some difficulty, but does this work for anyone

4x is live in 20 mins, would like to get it figured out

[Nagaredama]

Anyone know where to get ahold of a USA gravity jersey?

[RATM]

Don't buy it, the schedule says it will be 09/13/2007, not today, so you can only watch it on demand after the 13th.

[Dogboy]
