You see some riders on every stage during practice, but this was the only time I saw Yoann Barelli today, taking the big drop option near the bottom of stage six while i got stung by a few angry bees. -Sven Martin
The head-on view of Yoann. -Lee Trumpore
With no B-Line or safe way to roll off the drop on the National DH track, things didn't go well for everyone. -Sven Martin
Remi Gauvin will be riding amongst the top twenty. The Canadian DH pro steadily making his way through the enduro rankings and always stylish. -Sven Martin

No fat, all lean. Cody Kelley -Lee Trumpore

Foot-out finesse for Florian. -Lee Trumpore
Robin Wallner looking ready to back up his great result from two weeks ago. Scandi from the Scandi. -Sven Martin
Mark Scott rides with Iago and Josh Lewis during practice, but he is a little more business and focused on a solid result. Fun and serious can go hand in hand. -Sven Martin
Ben Cruz arrived a little late yesterday, so he decided rather than rush he would just skip practice. He went fishing for dinner and tomorrow's lunch instead. -Sven Martin

Lookin' for lines in all the right places. -Lee Trumpore
