Nice, thanks!

So, just checked the Redbull site and live coverage kicks off at 2:30pm (according to the countdown) but according to the MTBA website, juniors are meant to start at 12pm so I guess the Juniors and Women aren't going to be televised...

And considering the Mens are meant to start at 2pm are we just gonna see the top 20 mens (and not the top 80)?

Have a dentist appointment at 14:30,bugger. Hopefully she's amendable to having it on while she straightens my broken pickets.

We never see the top 80. Coverage will start with a replay of the top 10 women, followed by some select replays of faster men then into top 15 odd men live.

Edit: Live-ish, given we manage to see a three or four minute run in no more than a minute.

And I'm working so I would greatly appreciate it if nobody says anything, anywhere on the interweb about the DH finals. At least until I get the chance to watch the replay later tonight.

Thanking you all in advance.

Freecaster actually used to show the top 80...

Yeh, sorry but fat chance on that one. Good luck.

I just checked Cairns forecast and radar, looks dry enough. Showers possible, and radar shows a few spits near coast. Hopefully track is dry.

Any further news?

The rebulltv app on my Apple TV has a really good feed.

such a awesome race, and result:whoo:

 

[scblack]

Was a great race, I was jumping out of my chair when Troy hit the pedal section.

 

[schneller schneller]

Am bummed for Troy but stoked that Mick was up there again, Good to see Loic take the win and looking forward to another interesting race year..

 

[Knuckles]

Awesome job by Button too. Not bad for a bloke who was working Macca's drive thru two weeks ago.
