Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 29, 2019 Share Is Greg still recovering from his injury?No. He qualified in 61st place due to an off in one of the sectors and because he didn't finish in the top 20 last year he wasn't a protected rider.

MrJacques Posted April 29, 2019 Share Is Greg still recovering from his injury? Not sure, but I suspect it will be his last year of riding DH professionally. Maybe he should try EWS? Edited April 29, 2019 by Jacquers Capricorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted April 29, 2019 Share Not sure, but I suspect it will be his last year of riding DH professionally. Maybe he should try EWS?been wondering if this isn't the end of an era. I was very surprised he didn't have enough time in the bag to qualify. First time in what, 22 years of racing that Mr Minn failed to qualify? Maybe it's time.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 29, 2019 Share Nah, he said in the Wyn TV segment that he was really looking forward to racing this year and the injury last year reminded him how much he loved it. Just a bit of bad luck after it started raining, imo. If he'd not been injured last year it would have been a different story I reckon.

BaGearA Posted April 29, 2019 Share I recon greg has maybe next year left , Gwin prolly has another good 4 years in him and by then Dany and Loic will be seasoned and proably take over the reigns as the "Legends" ....and brosnan will probably still be there ....cause mr consistent MrJacques and Capricorn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odinson Posted April 29, 2019 Share Some epic racing yesterday. Have to eat some humble pie regarding my confidence that Rachel will take the win. Seagrave put a solid run together and beat Rachel outright. Figured Danny had it in the bag and the chap could barely keep himself contained in the hot seat. Somehow, my gut told me that Gwin and Pierron weren't going to have amazing runs. Killer run from Bruni though!

Do you know who finished after him in qualies? Danny Hart... Remind me what position he finished yesterday? When you're not protected and you have an off.. It's gonna hurt your position. Plus he was riding a little slower than normal because he wasn't protected. Just one of those things. Fort William he will be back with a vengeance Edited April 29, 2019 by Stretch Hairy, Traveler, Spoke101 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow, my gut told me that Gwin and Pierron weren't going to have amazing runs. Killer run from Bruni though! I also expected Rachel to win, just because of her pedigree. But also seeing her finishes in pre season prep made me think second. I think she still has to find the sweet spot on that bike. Most likely in the next couple of races, although she is still damn fast on it.Tahnee's run was superb! Duane_Bosch and Capricorn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregs practice runs were decently fast, plus its mtb, crap happens, u slide unexpectedly, hit a stone and go flying, all part of the game.

MrJacques Posted April 29, 2019 Share Sorry, for us newbies .... What does it mean to be "protected" ? Where can one stream these events ? I think if you are in the top 20 then it doesn't matter if you don't qualify (based on qualifying runs), you are automatically in for the race run. Redbull TV live streams the events.
