Thank you. Fastest time of the weekend so far. Fred, how was that one? I honestly felt like I was going very fast, so I’m stoked. Well, you’re second in Q2, so uh you must have been going pretty fast. Yeah. and like way quicker than my Q1. And I thought my Q1 was good. So, I’m stoked. I came down and I was like, damn, that’s cool. It’s a good feeling when a a downhill run actually goes how you planned it. Yeah, pretty much. More or less how I planned. So, that was good. Yeah. Now, we just need Dak and then we got the whole crew. All right. Well, hopefully Dak goes through, but it’s it’s a tough ask on this track. Oh, yeah. and he’s not had the easiest winner for sure. But he had some really good splits last last last run, so I think he might be on. I have a good feel. Got to just piece it all together. Yeah. Yeah. But well done to yourself. Second in Q2 and through to tomorrow. Ready to go. Let’s go. Let’s go. Good job. All right, Lou. Winning the Q2. Not a bad run. No, it actually felt way worse than my Q1 run, really. But the time was way better. I have no idea what happened. Apart from Millie, she gave me some advice just to break better. Break better in the bottom section. And then Yeah, you and Millie are quite the team, eh? Yeah, I’m so grateful. She’s such a good teammate and like it’s really nice having someone to like ride with, train with, and like the highs and the lows are even better with her. So, yeah, we actually might have the whole team in. Oscar’s done a very good time there. I know. He He’s too scared to celebrate, but I’ve already cried for him. So, well, you got to What do you say? You got to celebrate a good run anyway. It’s a good time. That was a sick time. It would have been top 10 in Q1, so it’s almost whole team. Yeah. Yeah, we’re waiting for the rest. Yeah, we’re just waiting for Oscar. Yeah, Joe’s injured sadly, but he’ll be cheering from the UK. Pretty much. Oh, good job team. And good job to you, Millie, too. Oh, thank you. Third in the Q1. Yeah, first time. First time. That was easy. Yeah. I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know. All right. This This pairing’s like working pretty well together. I know. Pretty fun. Yeah. All right. Well, keep up the good work, team. Thank you. Cheers. Cheers. All right, Luca Fellow, you uh put it through to the final, mate. Yeah, mate. Just about stuck her in there. So, um yeah, let’s go race tomorrow. I guess you’re excited for that. Can’t wait. Just need to tidy up like the top split is where I lost a lot of my time, but got back pull back like 10 plus positions in the bottom. So, a lot of time to be had. So, it should be sick. Did you expect to be in the final today or tomorrow? I didn’t expect it, but I sort of knew it was always there. So, just trusted myself this weekend and had that belief and yeah, got it done. So, can’t wait to go tomorrow, really. All right. Epic work, mate. Love to see it. Cheers, Win. Cheers, brother. Good job. All right, Rico. Uh, through to two finals in a row now. Oh, I wouldn’t believe it. That’s where you want to be. Yeah, coming last down the hill in QC felt like I had more pressure than world champs, man. That was so gnarly. But, stayed really loose. had some wild moments. Yeah. But it was fast. So happy days. And still on the flats, too. Yeah. Good. You good? The thunder’s coming. Yes. I’m enjoying it. Yeah. Having a lot of fun. And that’s the main thing. I was commenting yesterday when you’re going I think maybe even this morning when you’re going through that rough bit and the fast bit. I was like, man, it must be wild to go through there on flats. Yeah. I mean, me and Pascal were talking this bike actually likes that. You just have to stand on it, keep the weight down on it, and in the mid travel, it works so well and the flats just seem to work with that. It’s a good combination. So, so, so you you play to the advantages in some sections where you know probably you’ll lose time in others. Yeah, definitely. I’m slow as hell at the top and the bottom I’m feeling really really strong in. So, yeah, didn’t really have any fatigue. So, I really hung it out in that bottom section there. And uh the splits look pretty solid. So, if I could just sprint out the gate, I’d probably be all right. The old the old duck feet on the flats are pretty hard to pedal out. Yeah, a couple of frying pans at the start gates. Not much use. No, but yeah, we’ll make up for it. another final and I’m excited to watch you run tomorrow. Hopefully some more creative stuff. I’ll try. Trick to be creative on. Yeah, it is. You got to just be down the guts and absolutely on the limit. But sweet. That was pretty wild. So, regardless, it’ll be exciting. Coming off tomorrow. Thank you, guys. Cheers, mate. Cheers, mate. They’re all back. It’s happening. All right, mate. It’s been a hell of a road to get here and you you’re back in the finals. Yeah. I mean, this is crazy. Like, I feel like I won the damn race. Uh it was it’s been hard and uh that was really really cool. Really cool. I’m like, you know, I’m like a very emotional guy. Sometimes I come off as like grumpy, but I’m just really passionate and uh I work really hard and um I’ve worked really hard to get here. So, it’s uh pretty cool to actually have it have this like this was the goal. Yeah, first the goal was to ride down a World Cup track and then I wanted to try to qualify before the break and then hopefully come back and be more on the pace at the end and at the end like maybe not on winning pace but prove I can still be that guy um to mostly to myself. Um so yeah, pretty cool. This was I was getting annoyed. Very annoyed. Yeah. So Well, you’re probably you’re not even 100% as far as your body goes. No, dude. Not even close. Started walking three months ago. It literally took me three weeks to walk and I’m at seven months now posttop from what was like absolutely hellacious surgery. And um I literally did no exercise for 5 months. I couldn’t even bear weight for much over four. Yeah. So, um I still can’t squat my body weight. Yeah. Today it like it hurt. It hurts to pedal out of the starting gate. And you were riding down that mountain there in second in Q2 only.1 off the uh lead. Yeah, I I I blew the first corner in Q1 and then was second fastest, split two and three and then uh overbreed for one of the corners. Uh gave it a little bit too much of this uh this maven power and uh had to like get get back up on the horse and get moving and yeah, that was sick. I just sat in the starting gate and said it’s now it’s going to happen right now. And it’s like I probably said 50 times like from when I got off the bike to when I rolled in the starting gate, I just said you can do it in my head over and over again. Yeah. Well, you you’ve done it today. So, um, epic work. I love to see you back there. And I know how hard it’s been for you to get back there. Yeah. Thank you so much. Appreciate it, man. And, uh, yeah, we believed in you. So, yeah. You believed in me? Yeah, I believed in you. Yeah, you got Yoshimir, you got the power. We have the power. Yeah. As uh, took a lot of that power today. Didn’t quite have the power out of the starting gate, but I was able to let off these breaks and let the let the money eat. All right. Well, you give it someh deserve it. Thank you, mate. Cheers, mate. Thank you. No, good [ __ ] Love it. Love it. Yeah. Not often we see a national jersey in the final, but uh you put it in, mate. Yeah. So pumped, honestly. Yeah. And you’ve been building your speed throughout the season and uh now you’re in a final. Yeah. No, I’m over the moon. I didn’t expect it. It got down to those last few and it was Yeah, I was stressing, but I’m so so pumped. Keen to give it some for tomorrow. So, you guys run out of a little team from Australia? Yeah, Raw Racing team. Um yeah, we just out of Australia started by Jared and Jack a few years ago and um I joined last year and it’s been unreal. So, super pumped. Well, they’ve got to be hyped to see you race in the final tomorrow. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. And it’ll be exciting for you to go up and line up against the best and actually in the final. Yeah. No, can’t wait. It’s awesome. What’s been the hardest thing as like progressing through the field to get to be able to race in the final? Uh, for me it’s just been finding the speed like earlier in the week. I always get to qualifying and then put it all on the line and make errors. So, this week it was a bit easier of a track. So, get up to speed a bit earlier and just iron out those issues and Yeah. So, that’s probably what I would say. Yeah. Yeah. It’s a pretty short practice session to actually get right up to speed and that you got to be already really on it in time training. Yeah. Yeah. Know the boys like first second lap. I rode here last year at Champ, so that helped a bit. But yeah, they’re feeding from the first few laps. So, yeah. All right. Well, stoked for you, mate. And love to see a national jersey in the final. It’s uh the underdog versus the big dogs. Thanks so much. Cheers. Keep up the good work, mate. Cheers. Thank you. All right. The man on the tools who’s been behind behind the scenes for Juan for his whole career. Really? Yeah. You must be pretty proud to see him win the qualifying today. Yeah, I’m stoked as him and I think everybody knows that this is going to happen someday. Yeah. And literally, I have to be honest, but we don’t expect that fast. And he’s still the third year racing. Yeah. In the World Cups. And yeah, he’s so stoked and we are all sto in Colombia. Everybody’s stoked. Yeah. Yeah. Colombia is going to be excited to watch the finals. Oh yeah. Yeah. like I was talking with him right now is like just 30 minutes I have more likes and messages than ever and I think in Colombia is around 6:00 a.m. like people is waking up and just watching this and check the result like what? Yeah, maybe they believe they are dreaming or something like this. Oh [ __ ] what is happening? Yeah, it’s so good. So good for him and happy for him. He deserve it and I’m so happy for the team because the four riders made it in the final. Then it’s a good weekend for us. Yeah. And the most important for me is Juan is riding fast all the season. Yeah. And this is the third World Cup in a row that he’s rolling fast getting into the finals then he’s good. And uh how long have you been working with him? When did you start with him helping him? Uh well helping him like three years ago. the first race he arrived to the world champs in Leger. Yeah. Uh he arrived there almost without any support. Yeah. And yeah, I start supporting him in that race. I met him in that race. That was actually one advice of one of my of the riders that I have in the team before Sebastian Poito. Yeah. that let’s say was kind of mentor of wer because they are from the same village near medin. Yeah. And yeah he arrived in that moment and I saw him riding in in Leger and I say okay next year you’re going to be in the team for all the season and that it was like this. Yeah. Well you must be very proud to see him go right to the top and to send his name on the top of the results list. Yeah. Yeah. I’m so happy and only bad note of the day is Sebastian can make it for the for the finals because he’s a top rider as well. The pace too today. Yeah. But this is the only only thing that it makes me a bit sad but of course we have to to enjoy the moment and but at the same time we are eager for more and Juan already is the best rider in urban racing. Yeah. And he wants to bring that here. Yeah. And this is what everybody know that he can make it. Yeah. But it’s difficult, you know. It’s difficult here. We have all the big guys here. Their track is different. Every run is not like the urban thing. Yeah. But yeah, we are so happy. He deserve this a lot. And I’m happy for Colombia. I’m happy because for us this is a big new and I’m some is something that Marcelo started. Yeah. And when he was doing that, it looks like was something exceptional. Like we never going to see this again. And then after Rafa was close, [Music] the coach of Valentina Steven he was performing well in junior then Sebastian Valentina now. Yeah. And now we can say that Colia is here. Colombia is here. And in the Spanish countries, we are at minimum demonstrating that we are in the top and in the world too. So good to see. Well done, mate. And um thanks for supporting underdog riders for over the past few years. It’s uh really good to see. Yeah, thank you. And thank you to you because you put us in the map as well with your videos. Yeah, I think we have a lot of the sponsor, a lot of the the visibility that we have is because your work and I’m so happy for that too because literally when no one was taking they don’t care about us. You since the beginning you were helping us with some sponsors as well then I’m so happy and I want to thank you. Thank you. No, I just I love to see little riders from smaller countries succeed on the world level and there’s nothing better to see one for standing on top today. So, well done. Well, we are not a small country. Colombia is a big country but like a small country in in the World Cup, you know, like in the mountain bike sport pretty small and road cycling maybe not, but uh mountain bike. Yeah. Ah, the problem is we can’t use the gasoline of the road cycling. All right. Well, get some good gasoline for tomorrow cuz you guys are going fast. Well done. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, bro. All right, mate. Are you celebrating that one? Yeah. I to be honest, I’m in shock a bit. It’s been a very, very long road to get here. Yeah. I’ve broken myself many times. Yeah. And I’m just finally put down a run I’m happy with and I’m through. Yeah. And you had a big crash in the uh the first Q1 off the burn. That was a pretty good run, too. Yeah. And I clip my pedal and just I’m looking at the corner and I’m just going that way and I’m like, “No, no, no.” and just eat [ __ ] Yeah. So, uh to shake that one off and go up and put it in the final is pretty special. Yeah. It’s the first time I’ve It’s been all on the line. I knew I could do it and I just delivered and I couldn’t be any more happy. Yeah. And the team today, everyone everyone’s delivered. Yeah. Four out of four. It’s never happened before. So, I think it’s the first time having four of us in the final. Yeah. And there’s only four of us. So, yeah. So, perfect. There’s a a lot of tears today. Wham is. He literally can’t believe it. Yeah. So, yeah. Oh my god. Sorry. I’m lost for words. It’s all good. Enjoy enjoy that final tomorrow, mate. Because it’s been a long road to get there. I was talking to the team. I was like, “What do I do? Do I just go ham or do I like get a result in or whatever, but I think I’m just going to do the same same again. Have to go hard on it.” Yeah. Could be the only one. So, yeah. And you Yeah. You never know what what can happen in the race. Eugi or I’m going to be up there. Well, well, don’t do the first run like the first run, but the second run was good. That was embarrassing. Yeah. All right. Thank you. No, good job, mate. Impressive. I appreciate it. Cheers. Thank you. All right. We seem to do these every week, these Q2 ones with you, mate. Oh, mate, don’t tell me about it. Jesus. I know. Well, like my dad said, if there’s a if there’s a hard way to do it, we’ll do it that way. Yeah, cuz that’s what I seem to be doing to myself at the minute. But, um, no, stoked to make it through. P4, I think, in Q2. Pretty decent time. Yeah. Uh should be in the mix tomorrow, I think. Hopefully. Yeah. Well, the the times are super tight here. Oh, it’s insane. Like, yeah, you put a wheel out of line and it’s, you know, you get punished so badly for it. So, um tough racing and it’s not actually the race I really enjoy. I’d much prefer like big technical tracks with bigger time gaps. I feel like you can afford to make a few more mistakes and still kind of have a decent result out of it. But, um it is what it is. Yeah, it is. And and you made it work, so you’re in the final and go again tomorrow. Yeah, exactly. Simple as that. Really almost feel like pressure’s off a little bit. Although the main show is tomorrow and obviously we’ll push harder for that, but it’s just a bit of a relief to know you’re in and you can just uh almost relax a little bit. Yeah, you can enjoy your race rather than be like, [ __ ] I need to get through. Yeah, exactly that. Exactly that. So, no, looking forward to it. Y good job, mate. And uh through to the finals again. Thanks very much. Cheers. Good work. Cheers. All right. Should I put a shirt on or No, don’t mind. Flex the rig. All right, Luke. Uh, unfortunate one. Someone’s got to be 11th, but probably you’ll be going through everywhere. You could have made that time. Yeah, that’s it. Um, to be honest, like I was riding good, just too many mistakes. I was just pushing hard and had a few costly bobbles. Um, surprisingly they were all before like the fourth split and I was sort of still in touch and then I just I don’t know all the energy saving those I uh yeah was a bit gassed for the bottom almost got a little bit arm pump few more mistakes and lost another second at the bottom and that was sort of the difference. So a shame but yeah I was riding well like without the mistakes I think I would have been on for like a really good time maybe sub 40 even. So just yeah going a bit too hard I guess. Um but I don’t know it’s fine line isn’t it? You got to kind of no other option though right? Yeah, you got to go for it. So, just luck of the draw wasn’t enough and 11th. So, but yeah, like you said, someone’s got to be there and it’s been an all right season so far. So, just um move on from this one and have a good break and yeah, um come out swinging in the last four. All right. Well, good job anyway. You’ve been going well all year and uh being 11th is not actually you’re not really off the pace, you know. Yeah, that’s it. It’s um my brother was 11th last week. I’m 11th this week and teammate um was 11th in Ludenville. Um yeah, which so it’s like yeah, we love the 11ths at the moment. New format’s pretty brutal for that. Yeah, that’s it. Especially this track. Like I feel like I don’t know. I was hoping they would have slowed it up a little bit more this year and made it a bit more technical, but just pretty much flat out and one bobble um and you’re out. So yeah, a shame, but um happy with like where I’m at fitness wise riding and stuff. Like feel like I’m riding the best I ever have. So just yeah, keep on trucking. Keep up the good work, mate. And uh yeah, hard luck today. Cheers. Thank you. Cheers, mate. Thank you. All right, Danny Castellanos putting it putting it through to the finals in Q1 on the tires we hooked you up with. Yeah, thank you so much again for the tires. Always like when you give me tires, you go fast. I I go to finals. So we we should do every race. So yeah, really stoked. Second final for me in elite this year and first one through Q1. So really stoked. Yeah, must have been nice to not have to go up and fight that Q2 race for sure. First Q2 that I didn’t race fortunately for for doing good on the first one. So yeah, really sto it and also uh looking I went up with my dad look mechanic uh cooker everything to to see all the all the lines and and everything. So it’s getting destroyed. So let’s see if the rain doesn’t destroy too much more. So yeah. All right. Well, good luck tomorrow and great to see you in the finals, mate. Perfect. Thank you so much. See you. Nice work. Q1 in Q1. Yeah, Q1. Oh, so so this is a result of Q1. Yeah, the I hit the elbow like on a tree like I like in the last uh little section just hit a rock or something, blew the foot and then uh slid highsided, smacked a tree and Yeah. Then then you got to be pretty happy to get through the Q2 then. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Like uh I was in quite a bit of pain in the pit before and uh we were kind of unsure about going back up, but like pushed through and Yeah. So I’m super stoked. You got your what? your medical notes as well. Yeah. Yeah. I just saw the little medical team over here because like it’s like huge. Like I don’t know if it like Yeah. Like did some No, it’s fluid. Oh, some type of like under the under the joints. Yeah. Yeah. I think so. And it’s like huge. Huge. You might have to get it drained. Yeah. I don’t know. We’ll see. Yeah. Well, it’s not the ideal day when you’ve got medical notes, but to get through that Q2 is impressive. Yeah. Yeah. It was gnarly out there. It’s uh especially like the mind space that I was in was a bit rough just but I was feeling good today so like I think that helped but yeah like u yeah stoked. Well good good job and I hope it’s not too bad tonight after sleep on it. Yeah. Yeah. Me too. Hopefully we wake up in the morning it’s a bit less uh massive and uh we could go again. All right. Good job mate. Thank you. Nice work. All right. Uh, Sean Chevlay, you you won that Q2 session, mate. A pretty good day. Yeah, really good day. Um, the week started a bit hard for me. Yesterday was was really really slow. So, I just br the speed this morning and uh Q1 was a good run, but not fast enough. And Q2 was really, really nice. Good feeling. And uh, yeah, really happy about that. How far off were you on the on the Q1? Uh, I think I was 38 or 36. Yeah. So, 30 seconds. So, 2 minutes 43 something. Yeah. And I won the Q2 with 40. So, it’s almost I think it’s more than 3 seconds. Wow. Or 3 seconds faster. So, yeah. Really good. Yeah. So, you just went up and you’re like, I have to send it. Yeah. Yeah. I was like, well, it’s Q2. It’s the last chance, so just go and you will see. Yeah. So, sometime was a bit loose, but I think it’s Oh, we need to ride for this kind of track. So, we have to. Yeah. Yeah. I think so. Yeah. So, it paid off for today and um we’ll see you tomorrow on track again. Yeah. All right. Well, we must be happy with your speed then to be you know you’re up there. Yeah. One of the faster times today. Yeah. I think it’s four or five except the junior the two junior in front but um but yeah, no the the Yeah, the speed was really really nice and um I think we just have to to do the same and improve a bit for tomorrow and it will be perfect perfect weekend. All right. Well, keep it up. The Rogue team is uh delivering a all all season long. Yeah, we are all of like the four riders into the final. So David Q1 and Chibi and me Q2 and the junior Yeah. goes 17 I think. So yeah, so he’s into uh Yeah. No, it’s perfect. And I think the the manager is really happy and everyone in the team are really happy and it’s a really really good spirit. So yeah, it worked pretty well for for this season. Yeah, the little team is delivering big results all year long. Yeah. Until now it’s crazy like I couldn’t imagine that but yeah with a small uh small tent. Yeah. Small setup we can do great things. So which is really nice. And it’s your pit space is actually about two two and a half kilometers away from the track. So it’s quite hard to work from here. But uh all the team’s making it work. Yeah. But the mechanic I think they slept like 4 hours last night because they were working like super super late and uh so they come super early in the morning to to prevate the space in the in the white pit. Yeah. So we are of course not in the best uh position but uh well we are good into the white pit. We are just next to the lift so it’s really easy to to grab for the for the race. All right perfect. Well good luck tomorrow and great job today mate. Thank you. Thanks a lot. Thank you. No, good stuff. I got to get some clips. Hey, when you see the police, warn a brother. All right, so it’s been a hell of a Q2 session. The times were super tight and it’s going to be a a hell of a race tomorrow. I think we’re in for a bit of a battle. We’ll see if this storm comes that they predicted, but I can’t see many storms around. So, we got up early for nothing. But, uh, yeah, as I said earlier, 7:00 is not really early unless you’re Brazilian or Angus. So, yeah. Cheers. Over and out from Win TV. [Music] [Applause] [Music]
