World Cup Vigo Spain

[Ben]

Semi finals were held yesterday, the start list for todays finals is very impressive, steve peat qualified 2nd, but, outta the 82 qualified 24 of them are irish and british!

[DAN HART]

Good result for us then. a third qualified from our part of the world. global domination not far away then! are the finals shown on any of the sports channels?

[Ben]

dont think so although a few websites will have updated threads by the minute from people at the event with laptops, should make an interesting afternoon!

[jack]

surely on that basis there should be someone with a webcam watching? oo im going searching!

[Will]

3 brits in top 5 get in!! new cannondale is obviously effective!

not doing fort bill in may :(

I like the look of the new cannondales more than the old years and they must work. But still Result for the brits, awesome start of the season for Peaty and Gee, Peaty winning the Megavalanche in Peru and Gee winning the Red bull Gold mine race.

there might be footage on Freecaster in time they normally have the top 10 runs or something

serves him right! my mate jason broke his arm when he fell off an uplift tractor and all that berk did was tell him to move out the way and to stop f**kin around!

[Baker]

Ouch looks harsh! At least he got over the finish line by the look of that photo! Loks like he is trying to give it some serious drift!
