 One minute gaps between their starts, so unfortunately I doubt we get to see a lot of their runs.

 Jack moir was 6th and start in the 40? Damn thats a weird process. Basically qualifying is useless?

 Qualifying at World Champs never determines start order. Always based on last years results.

 @thejake: then how do first year elites end up higher than seasoned riders? Vali Höll is after Tahnee Seagraves. It’s just the weird and sometimes wonderful UCI.

 @T-Bot: it's UCI points, not world cup position. They get points as juniors.

 Much excited! Holl vs Hannah, Cabirou, Hoffman, Seagrave, Nicole oh my. On the men's side, man, it sure would make everything better in the world to see Finn Iles pulls one out of the hat and take it.

 @skintightleather: In the qualification only Hannah and Hoell jumped the gap, hence the time difference to the others. Hope it won´t take out more women in the race.

BTW: Cheering for Hannah, she would well deserve it. Possibly her last chance!

 It’s already snowing, and will continue to snow. If the race proceeds, there will be a combination of snow, ice, and sludge. I expect the track to get much, much worse as the day goes on

 @onlyDH: where are you getting reports of the snow from, or are you there?

I'm on a night shift at work trying to watch the Leogang resort webcams to see what the weather is doing!

 @GrandMasterOrge: I am in Austria. If this race doesn’t get cancelled, it will definitely be one for the history books. Honestly doesn’t seem like these conditions are safe enough to race
  • 3 0
 @GrandMasterOrge: I stand corrected. It looks like the middle top got snow, but the start is at the middle station and it’s clear there and below
  • 1 0
 @onlyDH: Cheers for the update, browsing through the webcams but it seems like some of Leogang's are live and others are semi-live where it's showing most recent photos from yesterday.

That combined with varying altitudes is making it hard to work out what it's like but from what I can tell it looks like the upper mountain has had a reasonable amount of snow but the mid-station and down is relatively clear. Happy to be told I'm wrong on that mind!
  • 1 0
 @GrandMasterOrge: Looks clear on the ground with sleet in the air and very miserable-looking. Unless the riders fear for their safety, I see no reason to cancel

 @thingswelike:
judging from the first times coming in for the junior women, the forest section seems to be pretty much unrideable...

 @ThrillPhil46: We have racing! Woohoo! Yep, although some 6 minute times coming in now which isn't very far off their quali times

 @thingswelike: True! Maybe I concluded prematurely...well known problem Wink

 @ThrillPhil46: I'd say there's a big difference between early starter junior women and elite men when it comes to what is and isn't rideable.

 Anyone know how to get it on Red Bull TV in the states? I figured it out last year. Had to go into my setting and change some stuff around but I forget how I pulled it off. Any help?

 Google Chrome has a Browsec VPN extension. Cost $4.99 for a month. Set your VPN location to one of the countries that allows the Red Bull TV broadcast. Select change browser time zone to virtual location in settings. Go to Redbulltv.com and enjoy.

 Webcams for the resort show snow already on the ground but I'm not sure where on the mountain.

 I believe that the race start is at the mittelstation at 1320 metres, the webcam for this station/height on the link you have provided looks green to me at the moment - snow must be higher up.

 Can somebody explain the point of qualifying in world champs? Because that starting order is by ranking anyway?
  • 1 0
 If the race is cancelled due to extreme weather, then whoever wins the qualifying is world champ. Plus, the unprotected riders are on the clock and some of them missed out. I think it is top 80 plus any protected riders (Greenland and Bulldog) outside the top 80.

 I just tried “Zenmate VPN” to watch XCO at 1080p. The difference with the other VPN options its that you can register without the requirement of a credit card for a week.

 @EnduroManiac: Yes, I noticed that while traveling there extensively. The Opera browser, however, does not differentiate and the setting is simply Europe. ThiS seems to make Redbull.TV think you are in Germany and I watched some XC this AM
