It's funny when we say it, but not so much when the Editors try to claim our glory in the headline. That's a cheap shot PB, come up with your own gags

What?!? Don't you understand how important timed training is?

Exactly, every race run is the best PRACTICE. Congrats to Finn and Myriam!

Would love to see Finn finally break out this season. Seems like it's been a long time coming. Also wtf World Cup racing is back baby!

He needs to lose the go for broke then crash strategy he is currently employing. Shoot for 5th Finn. Once you get there, then go for the top step.

He did it finally !!! Congrats to Finn, so so well deserved... Congrats to pompom too. World Cup Baby !

I was wrong! Great run outta Finn. Shot for the top and just about got it.

Aaaah... The sweet smell of spring as nature reclaims the northern hemisphere, lambs skip in the meadows, calves enjoy the warm rays of sun now hitting their hillside, chicks emerge into the sunlight for the first time, and the first TT of the year rocks everyone's world. Thank you God, we'll momentarily forgive you for all the other horrible shit you've unleashed

lepigpen FL (Mar 25, 2022 at 10:42)

Can't tell if Finn just goes extra hard for TT and qualies, but I can't wait to see this kid stand on the top podium (smirks and glances at fantasy team)

No French top 5 after all.

Canucks are essentially French though non?

@BenPea: Only the far eastern Canucks and those ones don't get along with the ones to the west, and none of them get along with the islanders.

Apparently she's planning to do some domestic races before coming back to WCDH later in the season.

No Gwin?

RCederholm FL (Mar 25, 2022 at 11:02)

He falls outside of the top 60 at this point, so not included/registered

2 3

mi-bike (Mar 25, 2022 at 12:31)

@RCederholm: That's nonsense. Several 60+ riders are listed in the results, including for example #89 Oisin O Callaghan finishing with 41st time.

From a 2018 Redbull article: "As per usual, Gwin used practice and timed training to look at the course rather than put down full runs."

Check the good site, looks like he flatted. The Kenda Kurse is hard to shake, even with a different brand.

How have I yet to see a bike riding down the track in either video or photo and we already have timed training? Not even a raw on vital yet?!

Fine I’ll put Finn on my fantasy team. Not because I’m overreacting to results that mean nothing, but because it makes me sick how my team is all frenchies.

ace9 (Mar 25, 2022 at 10:28)

i do have Finny on my team. Being with Loic all the time he has some...French Connection.. i expect him to top 7. No surprises here.

Top 7 seems oddly specific

@danstonQ Yes, Nicole new champion of the overall 2022... they are giving her the award... haha!!!!!

Wreck2019 (Mar 25, 2022 at 12:26)

6 seconds is an extraordinary lead at that level. Hopefully she won’t crash out this season

Rosstech (Mar 25, 2022 at 13:08)

@Wreck2019 6 seconds into training tells me nothing, especially knowing that Vali has never competed in Lourdes WC.

@Rosstech: True, it is one track she hasn't crashed or choked on yet....

@bikebasher As long as it doesn't fall in the last corners like last year, I'm satisfied :-)
