World Champs at Val di Sole ITA

[THE Manik Man]

Does anyone know what the world champs DH track is like.
i.e. is it going to be steep and technical and suit Sam Hill or is it going to be pedally and suit the syndicate.

Also posted by squidly in the press releases "The team heads to Pila to prepare the new bikes for the World Championships".
Sounds like we will see the 09 sunday's at the champs.

Sam likes the track, its very different to other tracks on the circuit but it has plenty of line choices and roots.

Not a chance we will be seing the new sundays.
I actually dont think there would be a worse time to give your riders a prototype bike. The worlds riders just get new paint jobs and tweaks in there countries colours.

Judging by the fact that Sam won by so much in the Val Del Sol test event i think it suits him. Who knows if anyone will step up to the plate on the day though.

Dan Atherton is out with a broken collarbone. Conditions are very wet and slippery

Well i want to watch the race live so does anyone know how many Mb it would take to watch pretty much the whole senior mens feild and the bit at the end?
Also what speed would you need to have pretty much uninterupted veiwing from free caster.

I am with iinet and the speed test tests at 1600-1700 kb or something.
But when i watch on freecaster it takes ages to load.

Any help?

You will need at lease 1.2gb to watch it all (going from the world cup races usage).
Your speed should be fine though.

Just reminding everyone that this time DH racing starts 8:45pm Saturday 28th June - Australian east coast time. Not Sunday night!!!!
