[DH Dad]

Congrats to Kirt Voreis, not often a US rider makes the top 10.

Pascal is always top 5 but never seems to win. He's an amazing rider.

Guess the Honda-Minaar domination is over.

 

[Mallet]

I think Minnaar is still "up in there" but he crashed according to the race report.

 

[JK:UK]

awesome...good ol' SP! go UK!

 

[narlus]

ben reid, 38th. go ben! (irish jr rider for those unfamiliar)

 

[S.G.D]

bah, i dont think one of my buddies qualified

anyway, the course wasn't over 3 mins like the rules stated? close but not over...

~SGD

 

[COmtbiker12]

YAY! Go Peat!!!

 

[CBJ]

Good old Peat back on track to win the title with a good lead over S. Hill.

 

[Village Idiot]

Minnaar crashed. Thats going to cost Honda

 

[RideND]

It's good to see Kyle Strait improving. Maybe one of these years the US will be on top.

 

[valve bouncer]

Sam Hill has been really consistent this year...he's bound to crack it for a win sooner or later...still ya gotta be happy when Peaty wins

 

[narlus]

i agree, peaty is pretty much the embodiment of the DH spirit. gotta crack a smile around the man.

 

[biker3]

good deal for peat. Him and Hill seem to be pretty close in the points but who is actaully on top? Gee had a sweet run it looks like and henry odonell is freakin ripping. Dan atherton is up there too.

[valve bouncer]

What is the criteria for the allocation of points? Seems like it's not set and changes race to race. Peaty got 250 points but Atherton 240 when he won. Can someone fill me in?

 

[rockracing]

the top 20 in qualification earn points, its 200 for a win in the final and first qualifier gets 50 points etc.

 

[c2001]

peat had a big crash in pre-qualifier practice yesterday and still killed his race run. later last night he sat at home instead of going out b/c his left thigh (i think) was swelled up huge and bruised black from his crash! he's a gnarler. (this is what i was told, i didn't see it).

minnaar crashed and ripped off the resevoir cap on his from brake lever (xt) leaking it dry. he had no front brake for a majority of his run...freakin' crazy. he said he was pretty scared w/o a front brake. picture here: www.164productions.com/minnaar-closeup.jpg


voreis...sick. keene...sick. rando...super sick. it was an exciting race to say the least...calgary next.

~SGD

It was over 3 mins for most people. I think that rule is retarded for two reasons:
1. How are you going to tell, PRIOR to racing it, how long it's going to take to ride it, for the fastest guy - given that you don't know who the fastest guy is?
2. What happens if they can somehow determine who the fastest guy will be (defying the point of running the race anyway), and then somebody else pulls out a smoking race (or even qualifying) run and gets under 3 mins?

Dumb dumb dumb rule.

Right, thanks for the info mate.

He crashed in the sketchy rocky section right in front of me...not a pretty sight! The guy was alright but the Honda took a severe beating in the rocks and hit a tree sideways. I was sure the bike would be too damaged to be ridden down the course.

The race this year really was a great show.

 

[Transcend]

Wooo Peaty schooled em good..How about Marc Fontaine..The Lone Transcend Rider to qualify, ending up in 53rd!

Way to go foo-foo

 

[Matt D]

yeah Kurt! Top 10 overall is sweet!

Well ideally, they are supposed to hold a few major events on the course before a world cup comes to town. If you run a world cup on a bran new course, that has never been run on before, you shouldnt be holding an event of that caliber.

They DID do this on this course (a quebec provincial race, as well as last years world cup). They had a good scale to go by, it is a GREAT rule. Winning time at the quebec race was a 3:06, peaty ran a 2:50.4. That is more then acceptable.

marc is my hero :love:
