RESULTS: Qualifying from Val di Sole World Cup Downhill

The fastest mountain bikers in the world attacked the brutal, steep World Cup Downhill course in Italy for the final qualification round of 2015. When the dust settled and the rocks stopped rolling, Troy Brosnan, Rachel Atherton and Alex Marin came out on top.

Notes

Troy and Gwin only .168 apart.
After Loic who was just off in 3rd place, the rest of the field falls off significantly.
We're getting a report that Brook MacDonald dislocated his knee. Not confirmed, but bummer if true and he still managed 11th somehow.
Mike Jones is a DNF, but he's a protected Top 20 rider, so he will be allowed to race.
The Top 3 Women are really close.
The Junior battle is tight as always.

Qualifying done, riders were flying in the forest today. @connorahoyhoy @gregminnaar @ratboy_bryce @svenmartinphoto @duncanphilpott @vitalmtb @troybrosnan #valdisole #uciworldcup
