2012 Val di Sole UCI World Cup Downhill Timed Practice Results
Here are the Top 20 practice times from Val di Sole today. Spagnolo let loose out front with a 3:26.9, and Ragot did it for the ladies with a 4:00.7. They don't mean much, but they do give you an indication for your Vital OTB predictions if you haven't made them yet.
Quick note - Cedric Gracia is out due to broken hip he sustained during his first practice run of the day. Neko Mulally is also sitting out due to a previous injury. Heal up boys!

Damien Spagnolo is definitely a bit of a danger man here. If my memory is correct he has been on the podium at a WC before and has had some solid qualifying results on the gnarlier tracks, and a second place at Worlds last year means he might be getting better dealing with the added pressure that comes in final runs. He is definitely that "next fast guy" that doesn't draw as much attention as he may deserve.
and Sam Hill doing a timed run? He must mean business this weekend... go Sam!!!

often riders don't take the timed runs or just coast through them.
