Vital RAW - Qualifying Craziness from World Cup DH, Lourdes
Pure peanut butter pain from Lourdes today. The course was as sketchy as ever after the evening rain. We don't know if we feel worse for the riders or their bikes.

2014 UCI DH World Cup 2 Cairns Post Qualifying Interviews
We let Rob Warner loose on the stars of qualifying here in a super-slick Cairns.
Today has been a real eye-opener for many, as the rain continued in the dark confines of Smithfield Forest. Some sections have simply turned into rivers and the final sprint to the line was somewhat porridge-like in consistency.

2014 UCI DH World Cup 2 Cairns Qualifying
Rocks, roots and peanut butter gloop - all the action from a spectacular qualifying session.
It feels like everyone is battling here in Cairns. The riders are battling one of the most physically demanding tracks in years, the mechanics are battling to strip 20lbs of mud off after each run and the media are battling it out with the local vegetation.
Qualifying saw some of the favourites (and pretty much everybody else) fall and a couple of surprise packages rise up the ranks.
