Sterke på hjemmebane
Britene viser at de er i rute til selve konkurransen på hjemmebanen i Skottland. Lillesøster Rachel Atherton tok beste tid i kvinnerittet over åtte sekunder foran fjorårets sølvvinner Tracy Moseley.Regjerende verdensmester Sabrina Jonnier syklet inn til 5. beste tid for dagen.
Anite Ager Wick forsvarer igjen de norske farvene veldig bra. Hun ligger 24. plass etter seedingen. Ager Wick er Nordisk Mester av året og viser igjen at hun er med i toppen internasjonalt.
I juniorklassen for gutta er det også to briter i tet etter første seedingrun. Ruaridh Cunningham og Josh Bryceland ligger henholdsvis først og som nummer to etter seedingen.
Espen Johnsen måtte innom et tre på veien, men kom likevel ned på en respektabel 52. beste tid. Tidsdifferansen opp til Minnaer i tet er likevel på over et halvt minutt så Espen må trå til når konkurransen starter for alvor på søndag.
– Løypa er lang og hard og jeg har en god feeling foran søndagen. Trynet i går kostet meg mye tid, sier Espen. Med over fem minutters kjøretid er Fort William-løypa ytterligere forlenget siden i fjor.
Fabien Barel som skadet seg stygt i foten for bare fem uker siden er allerede tilbake etter beinbruddet. Med spesielt stive sko syklet han inn til 18. plass for dagen.
En annen deltager det er verdt å legge merke til er Jurgen Beneke fra Tyskland. Veteranen har vært med i gamet like lenge som det har eksistert utforsykling og har holdt internasjonalt toppnivå siden tiden før fulldempede sykler. Beneke vant tidenes første verdenscup i utfor i 1992 og tok VM-gull i 93. 15 år senere holder Mercury Rev fan-en fortsatt koken.
35-år gamle Beneke kvalifiserte seg inn til 36. plass. Svenske Hermann Ølund syklet inn til 41. beste tid. Benekes MySpace-side er et funn for retro-nerder. Jonas Westman ligger også foran Espen etter seedingen med 49. beste tid.
