42 for Dan McConnell in the elite XC.

DH looking good.
Tracey is sitting in 2nd after qualifying run and we have Caroline in 5th

While in the men
Mick is in 4th
Gravey in 7th
Brosnan 16th
Hill 68th (I'm guessing both he and Gwin crashed and one of them will have a long sit in the hot seat)

Hill had a mechanical and Gwin flatted.

What a night of racing.

Tracey Hannah taking bronze after 2 horror years of injuries. Part time Aussie, Jill Kiltner 4th and Caroline 5th.

Mick Hannah silver. Gut wrenching at just .03 back. Seems like he is the new peaty, so close so often. Was so hoping for a win for him

Graves in third on his enduro bike . 26" wheels dispite how many times Nigel said othetwise in commentary.

Pretty sure Hills stack set off a tsunami somewhere. Harsh hope he is ok.

Claims that 29" wheels are better for rolling over rough stuff suffered a blow on the first corner.

650b made it into top 5.

Devastated for sik mik, he is such a top bloke. Second at worlds is a mighty fine effort but I know he'll be disappointed
