<b>Richie Rude trusting the fresh-formed rut on Stage 3. That's a lot of G-force right there.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Ricardo Rude. Mean and mellow and out front today.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Tracy won't forget her tire pressure again.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Lots of stoke and lots of support leaving Peebles this morning for the big Liaison over to Innerleithen. </b> -Sven Martin
<b>This may look like the most horrendous fender ever attached to a bicycle. but if tomorrow's weather turns out as predicted, someone will be offering this guy some serious cash for the thing. 40mph winds, heavy rain and hail are on tap according to the weatherman.</b> -Fraser Britton
<b>Greg Callaghan well inside of the mainline but still making the gates up top of Stage 3 (which he won). Sitting in 2nd, he stands a chance of leaving here with the leader's jersey.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Mark Scott with his best result today. 4th place with Ruaridh Cunningham only a quarter-of-a-second back.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Ruaridh Cunnigham is a bit of a local celebrity here, and he made good on the fame by streaking to a win on Stage 4 (1/60th safety pan. Deal with it, Sven.)</b> -Fraser Britton
<b>First it was cold, then it was hot, then with the sun out, it was hot enough to have to go all "Brian Lopes" on the climb.</b> -Fraser Britton
<b>Fabien in audio. Florian Nicolai rides so damn fast. He has a loose, playful style but never seems to make mistakes. Sitting 3rd only a little more than 6-seconds back.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Fabien in the Audio on the new generation and some of the important things to consider for the future of Enduro. Tucked knees not mandatory.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Fabien goes grippy.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Troy Brosnan's secret for his first ever World Enduro? Specialized Swat Bibs. You can stash food EVERYWHERE in these things, and you can never have too many snacks.</b> -Fraser Britton
<b>By the time Eddie Masters and crew rolled into the last climb to Stage 4, everyone was on empty. This is the first time all weekend Wyn wasn't smiling and throwing up the horns when he saw a camera.</b> -Fraser Britton
<b>Troy must have packed enough snacks; Stage 4 and he was all smiles.</b> -Fraser Britton
<b>Wyn finished 16th today with a 6th place finish in Stage 1. </b> -Sven Martin
<b>Stage 3 start. Tomorrow will look quite different.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Cecile Ravanel slipped from her usual third place today despite finishing second to Tracy in one stage. Fourth on the day. </b> -Sven Martin
<b>Things not going to plan for JC today. Not feeling 100% all week with a shoulder problem and remnants of a cold had him down the rankings today.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Rene Wildman opened the day with a stage win. Lots of young riders up front today yet Rene at 38 is keeping up the pace. You have to watch him ride course-side to appreciate the raw power and determination he throws down.</b> -Parkin
<b>Age + experience = 2 slideshow pics. You can never have too much Wildhaber - drifting, pedaling, accelerating moments after touchdown.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Mulch-flinging raditude on Stage 2.</b> -Parkin
<b>Ginger Power. #carlsoncultureclub in audio.</b> -Sven Martin

<b>Anneke Beerten had a great day today. Pushing ACC hard and sitting in 3rd place, only 10-seconds back on Anne, who she beat in Stage 4 today. </b> -Sven Martin
<b>Last stage of the day and the roost was flying as Cedric Gracia enjoyed the last of the sunshine on what was probably the most fun stage of the day.</b> -Fraser Britton
<b>Tracy rolls off from the village green this morning. </b> -Sven Martin
<b>Joe throwing down the power, fitting in pedals where others are coasting. 8th on the day. </b> -Sven Martin
<b>Rupert Chapman, always positive, always smiling, always enjoying the ride no matter if it's DH or Enduro. </b> -Sven Martin
<b>Justin Leov looking good on Stage 2. Usually he is efficient and all business, but this doesn't mean he can't throw some shapes now and then. </b> -Sven Martin
<b>Sideways is forwards for Dan Atherton. Stay tuned for the deluge coming tomorrow from Scotland.</b> -Sven Martin

Description
Halfway there and half the field seems as if they're already livin' on a prayer. The first day of racing in Scotland was filled with fantastic trails and varying, but beautiful weather. Tomorrow, Scotland may be flipped on its head with 40mph winds, rain and hail predicted. Tracy Moseley and Richie Rude hold down race leads with plenty more mileage ahead. Sven Martin, Fraser Britton and that one Parkin bring you the action from Scotland.
