gooooood morning
Sorry for no update last night, was back late from the party in the fort. And what a cool party it was! With local boys Carson starting the gig followed by my new favorite band Live Siences.
Now on to the racing!
I haven't got the XC results YET, but in the 4x..... Kintner takes the win in the women's. In the mens a clash of the titans take place between lopes and Tschugg leaving the gate wide open for Leiiv Ove Oldmark coming in first.
That leaves Brian Lopes World Cup Winner followed by Prokop and Gracia. With the 1st brit, George atherton, coming in 5th.
Downhill practice is under way, with everyone looking very fast. Is this peats year!?!?
ill leave you with an image of nevis range, you decide whether its going to rain or not!

lycra, lycra, lycra
the satellite connection in the media tent is being slight sketchy so ill make this quick!
women's XC currently comming to an end. Mens XC about to begin in about 15mins. Weathers looking good, cloudy but dry. Nice breeze keeping the bast**d midges away, and the killer wasps on the 4X. 4X is to begin at 5 with it finishing at 7.30. Is it just me whos a little bit worried about the 4x being held that late, with the news that there wont be any floodlights. I see some very mad light and hellish midges!!

Riders ready.....
aaaa its Friday!!!
what a magic 1/2 day its been. Sunny and dry, slight cold but who cares. The action is brilliant. DH practice seemed to run smoothly, there not using the new hip jump on the motorway due to the run out not setting in time. Contrary to popular dis-belief Steve peat is racing! His name is on the start list tomorrow (available HERE (ill scan them in a moe)) and I saw him in practice today.
Its DH quali. tomorrow followed by the 4X finals in the afternoon. o, and the xc! All the racers qualified for the finals tomorrow night with some added showboating! :D
take a look in the pictures, nice showboating and a couple of the new(ish) honda 4X rig.
keep it pinned for updates through the day tomorrow!

All ready fort william is gearing up for the world cup with the event village being already constructed. I was up the'range last night with the resident track builder and the course is looking sooo sweet! Things to check out:
-The wallride before the double berm/cheese greater bridge
-The MASSIVE him step-up addition to the motorway section.
The 4X track has also been getting a spruce up with the new jumps and much bigger berms! Hoping the additions will add to more of a race, as 4X is known for its 1st out of the gate wins past.
and the weather.... looks like sun on saturday but a pour down on sunday!
