<b>When the tracks get loose and rough with big holes, this man just powers on through. His super-stiff set up carries so much speed, he's left a few people scratching their heads after putting a 2.3-second margin over Loic in 2nd.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>America. Gwin is the favorite that is for sure. </b> -Sven Martin
<b>Rachel out front, but it's definitely a race tomorrow with Myriam hanging tight.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Well that's that for the World Cup series in the Women's class. Rachel has an unbeatable points lead and the title is all hers for 2015. #YEW</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Myriam Nicole monster trucking over the rocks, already two turns ahead with her eyes. </b> -Sven Martin
<b>All or nothing for Loic tomorrow.</b> @maddogboris
<b>Troy scrubbing into the drop before the road gap. Maintaining speed here sets you up for a long, fast woods section. That's how this whole track plays out. </b> -Sven Martin
<b>Jacob Dickson proves his 1st place qualifier last weekend at MSA was no fluke by backing it up today with a #1. </b> -Sven Martin

<b>Gee seeing multiples of himself on his way to legit qualifying result.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>As a #vanzac, Matt Walker must sneak away in the middle of the night to do secret training to pull an 11th place quali result like he did today. He sleeps on the floor, in a van or in a tent and still cracks good results in both enduro and DH.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>It's always good to see an American Junior stepping up his game on home soil. Charlie Harrison has been improving throughout the season and could be ready to upset the usual Top 3 tomorrow.</b> @maddogboris
<b>Keeping it low and smooth for 3rd place today, Tahnee Seagrave. With the absence of Ragot, many girls are eyeing up one step higher on the podium.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Minnaar almost getting to 12 o' clock in the whoops.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>The daily cutting of the spike tires for dry conditions. When the dust is this deep its cut spikes for a lot of the field. Bowman and Dougie inspect Marshy's handiwork. </b> -Sven Martin
<b>There's a good and a bad. Bad is Dave doesn't get to race. Good is Dave gets to go to the non-quali party. </b> -Sven Martin
<b>#vanzacs view the Dave Macmillan crash sequence from qualifiers and heartily approve.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>The Bulldog made up time from the first split, moving up a few places and into 7th.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Out of the whoops into a dirty, blown, rutted, soft, dusty, right-left combo. Josh smashes it hard. </b> -Sven Martin
<b>What Sven won't show you is the Primo lander. Not fun in socks.</b> -Rupert Chapman
<b>Tracey Hannah already focused for the day ahead early this morning as she preps for practice.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Not afraid to press send, Casey Brown hurling to 7th.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Hucking wide to open up the next turn into the rocks, last year's winner, Ratboy feels confident in his lines and just needs to open her up for finals.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Stan from Stan's discusses some new future developments with GT Factory racing. He is a big supporter of U.S. racing and is one of the event sponsors for Windham.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Missy early this morning one hand on the brake one hand on the throttle. She made it to the show after waiting for a re-run following Men's qualifying. </b> -Sven Martin
<b>Foot out, flat out on flats.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Cover your ears, kid.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>vollgaaasbroadgapstyleblenki! [editor's note: i have no idea either]</b> @maddogboris
<b>Steve Smith 8th place with some style today.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Morgane Charre with a 6th place qualifier and a podium finish within reach.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Gee's Mechanic, Polish Pete, has a side job as a water exporter in the off-season.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>The post-race procedure. Mike Jones checks out how his 10th place shaped up while Jacy gets the vessels prepped for warp speed tomorrow and Fraser checks the Dow Jones.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Crimmins is set to seek out that leader's jersey tomorrow. With no point allocated to Juniors for qualifying, the gap is still at 28 points.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Roost inbound! Alternative media vest application for camera dust protection. Matt DeLorme wishes he had his underwater housing...</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>An uncharacteristic 7th place in qualifying for Laurie Greenland. He punctured here last year and took it steady in his run.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>A wake of destruction as Neil Stewart hammers this berm on his way to a 5th place qualification in Junior.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>We could do with dust like this in Cairns to give us that extra heads up for potential KOS spiders.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Looking ahead to some of the massive holes that have come out on track, Manon worked her way to 4th.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Going really, really, really fast off the road gap is no biggie for all these World Cup pros and pretty spectacular for the spectators. Connor Fearon hides behind layers of leaves.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Isak Leivsson is pretty handy in the air and throws down off any lump and bump.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>A by-product of a photographer/bike impact. Rupert Chapman found a soft place to land after a big OTB in the gnarly rock garden.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Markus Pekoll returns to the form we've seen in the past and sneaks into the top 10.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Lucky or unlucky? Tight times back from Minnaar mean we will see a fair bit of re-shuffling from the qualifying results once the race dust settles.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>We can't wait for the thrilling on race day!</b> -Sven Martin
<b>A World Cup champion deserves a few shots the day they won it. Well done, Rachel! Stay tuned for race day action tomorrow. It's gonna be a doozy.</b> -Duncan Philpott
