News is that its live on Freecaster. Today is Thursday, and Dirt www.dirtmag.co.uk reports that Leov and Blenkinsop are both top 5 in the seeding runs. Hill and Peat are in the top 8........................ Also, go to www.littermag.com and vote for your winners! Please put any Worlds 08 related chat/link & pics here. |

My money is on Sam sneaking onto the podium in some way or another.
Hill, Atherton, Minnaar, Blenkinsop, Peat (sorry Steve!).

Also, for the girls, Atherton 4:05 and Jonnier 4:22?! Unless Sabrina really didnt want to come down the hill last but that seems slow in comparison.

I am a bit distressed because my countryman Matti Lehikoinen hurt his knee at Fort William and has not recovered well enough to race. He did a practice run but the knee wasn' really working and he felt risking further injury is not worth getting a bad placing at Worlds. Soo, now I can wish Yeti riders do well  |

they usually put up highlights after the event.
4X is on at about 6pm UK time I think.

Nice one Gee! What a year he's having! Good result for Justin in 6th, but Sam just shows that he's a class above really, but maybe trying a bit too hard.

Gutted for Graves, moves like that shouldn't be allowed. It was clear what he was doing and just decided to take Jared out. Hard luck mate.

Bad luck, Jared was took down. He was easily the fastest every race.
That was bad racing by Deldeke.
What does he have to do?
