Crap, my bad I clicked last weeks race. Intense posted pics of them doing track walk so I assumed they got sorted out though.

The Race Book says Junior women qualis start at 15:45 CET and men at 16:00. (Seems like they're sending the women down the hill with maybe 30 seconds between them? There are only 21 Junior women entered.)

Those are Les Gets times. I think the translation is that CET is UTC +2, US Eastern time +6, and US Pacific time zone +9. (I think New Zealand time is -10... I'm going on memory on that one...)

Ahhh yes...the power of the internet. The ability to keep an entire society of mountain bike downhillers, teams, riders and support staff on pins and needles when they should have known the schedule in entirety a month in advance.

Set a schedule well in advance as if you're having to mail it out.
Stick to it.
Everything runs as it should.

in hauser's POV, that stump in the 90mph off camber at the bottom that kolb avoided in the wet isn't padded either. gross.

LOL @Losifer and @chriskief

I'll bet $20 towards the "racing in shorts" fund that it gets padded before race day...

Bodi Kuhn out because of lingering concussion symptoms. 

That's really a shame.

Last year I was psyched for this year because I thought it would be great if he and Tegan Cruz could continue the rivalry they've had since they were kids. They've each had a rough year.

Fingers crossed for both of them.

UCI's live timing for Les Gets is still not functioning. Junior qualis start in a few hours.

I guess they'll tell everyone later who qualified in Juniors.

The UCI web site is about as badly designed and managed as it gets.

9/7/2023 4:05am

Update: Live timing is up... sort of.

Timed Training numbers indicate that Sacha Earnest is the young woman to beat this week in Juniors.

In Men's Elite, Danny Hart's current time is awesome, as is Mille Johnset's.

That will all change, of course, but for now that's where things stand.

from the dirt this morn - apparently it takes an an hour or so to get a lap. elite practicing riders were told they can get one more lap, so they waited in line and went up the lift. by the time they got up there, it was too close to jr quai time, so about 50 riders had to roll down the side of the course. all visibly angry/not stoked. bernard heard saying he only got 3 runs of practice today which was fewer than he'd hoped for.

Dean Lucas was saying on his trackwalk vlog that he has dropped over 70 places in the standings. He scored quali points at Loudenvielle, but has been overtaken by Brendog who didn't qualify.

What a shitshow.

Edit; I misunderstood what he was saying. It's his plate number that has dropped by 70 places, putting him into b practice. If my understanding is correct, the reason Brendog has jumped him as far as plate numbers are concerned is apparently because riders have been put in alphabetical order. Doesn't seem to make much sense to me, so I'm sticking with it being a shitshow.
