So will I, don't get me wrong. I'm just dreading having to get up early the next morning.



Yeah, but practice. I'd like him to at least get a couple of warmup runs in.

I'm in the same boat. Last shuttle day I just escorted 9yo daughter down Cressy. No runs in anger for 6 months or more. There's some changes I haven't even seen.
Felix is desperate to see the outcome of the final for himself, so if Troy qualifies top 5, I'll wake him up for last 5 runs and then back to bed. There's no way with 300 riders the following day, there won't be spoilers.

Wow. Minaar snapped his bike.

WOMEN
Myriam Nicole – 1215
Tracey Hannah – 1130 (-85)
Tahnee Seagrave – 1074 (-141)
Myriam Nicole’s lead of 110 points was cut to 85 after her crash in the first section of qualies She’s still the strong favourite but Tracey is definitely in with a shout.



If she gets a fourth or better, Nicole has guaranteed herself the title, regardless of what Hannah does. If she does get fifth, Hannah will need to win to take the title by five points. If Hannah finishes second, then Nicole only needs to get seventh to win. We really don’t see Nicole finishing any further down the standings than that on the track she earned her first World Cup win (bear in mind she crashed today and still got fourth).

MEN
Greg Minnaar – 972
Aaron Gwin – 949 (-23)
Troy Brosnan – 880 (-92)


Minnaar can only guarantee his title if he wins outright.
If Minnaar comes second or third, Gwin must win.
If Minnaar comes fourth, Gwin must come second or better.
If Minnaar comes fifth, Gwin must come third or better.
If Minnaar comes sixth, Gwin must come fourth or better. However, if Brosnan wins and Minnaar comes sixth he must come third or better.

Yeah, nasty. The mans legs should be snapped too.

I've been looking for correct standings points for weeks. The UCI isn't correct, and the point you've shown don't look quite right to me either (too low). Farkin used to have them on the home page. Where are you finding them?
