View as: Slideshow | One Page
Troy Brosnan fastest today and it shows. Uncontrollable launch at upwards of 70kph. #nobiggie @maddogboris
Rachel has no problems here but tried to not jump the final finish line jump later and almost dislocated her shoulder. Do or do not, there is no try? -Sven Martin
Loris Vergier, the quite assassin roosting around corners today. It was all a blur. -Sven Martin
Gee has a bit of a history with this track, but he made it through today's practice unscathed. 3rd fastest in timed runs. -Duncan Philpott
Loic Bruni already up to speed recording the second fastest timed run today. Clearly ready to battle for the win again. -Sven Martin
Josh on the flats. Cause flats are funner. NFG on his five year old Karvers in honour of past MSA winner Kovarik. @maddogboris
Everyone would get excited today when Brook Macdonald approached and shit went flying everywhere. -Duncan Philpott
The first corner hasn't been worked on since last year and offers a wild ride. -Duncan Philpott
Connor Fearon's no longer alone in the Top 20 on flats with ratboy and brendan's recent swaps. Duncan Philpott

Tracey Hannah has had better days. -Duncan Philpott
We used call her Tahnee Turner but now we call her Scrubby Seagrave. Sick. -Sven Martin
#P4D. Ticks, fruit flies and a scorching sun made it a tough day for all. -Sven Martin
Finn Iles leading out Loris Vergier. As the season progresses there are more and more comparisons to elite times for the top Juniors. -Duncan Philpott
Unfortunately Pompon suffered a sprained ankle today and is out of racing :(
Baxter Maiwald returns after his Cairns accident. First rider on the World Cup scene with the Canyon Sender? -Duncan Philpott
Oscar Harnstrom aka Barnstorm, the solid Swede, super comfortable on his first run when most others were straight, stiff air hucking. -Sven Martin
Eddie Masters had a few gaps and lines that not many others were doing. He also had a massive crash in the worst and rockiest part of the motorway. He's a balanced kind of guy. -Sven Martin
No mud in sight, a Mont Sainte Anne first. -Duncan Philpott
Only a couple of hours drive from home for MTB Jesus. Happy days. -Sven Martin
Marcelo back today after a little break from a shoulder injury in Morzine. Railing the first fast left-hander in the upper woods. -Sven Martin
Brendogpisser like a boss and not too slow in timed trainging either. -Sven Martin
Benoit Coulanges wins the day in my opinion. And it's all about winning practice on Thursdays. #gearbox -Sven Martin
Greg Minnaar won his first Word Cup overall series title here by beating Nico. -Sven Martin
Manon about to drop in for her first MSA run this year. Every run counts these days and she's already in the moment. -Sven Martin
Mark Wallace balls to the berm after the step down in the woods. Bangin. -Sven Martin
We're certainly in Canada -Duncan Philpott
Sam Blenkinsop was giddy and getting wild off everything today. -Duncan Philpott
Amaury Pierron smoothing out the rough Mt St Anne track. -Sven Martin
Aaron Gwin fast for sure, but with no proper timed run, he keeps us all in the dark for a possible outcome this weekend. Rest assured he will be hard to beat here. -Sven Martin
#panshotfriday with Rémy Métailler @maddogboris
The early bird catches the berm. @maddogboris
Matt Simmonds showing the intense factory racing guys how its done! @maddogboris
Lenzerheide winner, Danny Hart, had fastest split times but also three flats. He'll figure it out for finals. @maddogboris
Remi Thirion. The fast Frenchman looked smooth and quick on track but says he doesn't feels like he is going fast. @maddogboris
Greg Williamson looked impressive everywhere on track today. -Duncan Philpott
If it turns to mud, expect Morgan Charre to hike up the rankings
Jaws dropped to the ground when Brendog came by! @maddogboris
Remy Morton made the best out a bad situation by walking away from this one. @maddogboris
The sticker says it all! @maddogboris
Pits away from home are somewhat minimalist. -Duncan Philpott
We've been here enough times for everyone to have a good gauge of what goes on with the lifts, so lifties essentially get a day off. -Duncan Philpott
Psyching up for a long rough ride, whilst listening to Pink Floyd for warm up. -Duncan Philpott
Smoothest section of the whole track. -Duncan Philpott
Multi-discipline. Miranda Miller has been killing it on the little and big rig lately. -Duncan Philpott
Greg is so pro, not only can we not talk about his pedals and his shoes which may or may not be new, but they match. -Duncan Philpott
Troy Brosnan amongst the silver birches. -Duncan Philpott
Sick Mick is one of the crew of riders stoked on the track speed. -Duncan Philpott
Wyn Masters' track observations from the last few rounds has concluded that turn-bars = coverage. -Duncan Philpott
Eliot Heap emerges into the light from the new man-made rock section. -Duncan Philpott
You don't want to be the one at the back of the train today, especially when doing 45mph. -Duncan Philpott
Some sections of track are coated in a slick powder...for now. We'll be here rain or shine as the action continues with qualifying on Friday. -Duncan Philpott
