World Cup DH round 3 - Qualifying

It’s another relatively short track for the Vallnord DH and 4x World Cup 2009 and the qualifying times were tight. Tracy Moseley was first down the hill and set a time of 2:52.78, which was quickly beaten by Sabrina Jonnier who continued her fast riding from last week to finish two seconds faster.

Emmeline Ragot was third, only a second behind Tracy, promising to keep the battle for the top three spots interesting. The French had the most women riders in this round with a total of ten, and took out five of the top six places. Japan’s Mio Suemasa also made it across the line in under 3 minutes, to finish in seventh place.

There’s 4x tonight, and DH finals tomorrow, so it’s a pretty hectic 24 hrs for the riders competing in both. They already had their 4x practice cut short due to bad weather, so the pressure is on.

Here’s the full qualification times from the UCI, get on Freecaster.tv to watch it live tomorrow. Yussss!
