RESULTS: Qualifying from Croatia World Cup DH 15
Brook MacDonald and Rachel Atherton go fastest in the rocks of Losinj.
The rocks of Losinj, Croatia, put up a fight but they couldn't stand up to Brook MacDonald and Rachel Atherton during qualifying at the first World Cup DH of 2018. Kade Edwards and Vali Holl take top spots in Junior qualifying. Dig into the result from today and we'll post the start lists when they're available so we can see just how the new format will roll on race day.
DANG BROOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UPDATED WITH NEW ELITE MEN'S DH START LIST AT THE END OF ARTICLE.
The NEW start list is now below. Dean Lucas is last off the line I guess and there is a little shuffling of rider order. Confusion aside, it's going to be an exciting webcast!
Remember, this year, only the Top 60 Elite Men qualify instead of Top 80 like last year.

Just reading this after watching finals. THAT was horse crap. Kicked Brooks hard work & his sponsors in the BALLS relegating him to mid pack like that. You hit the fastest quay, You deserve the prime spot for you and your sponsors. Whitley manipulated that crap to benefit high budget riders and cut put small programs needing air time

It seems the top twenty from last year will go in order of their qualifying times and everyone else follows (precedes) as normal. I don't understand why they are changing things to suit the video coverage

Awful fucking way to run the race with so many protected riders. Go kill it, Bulldog!
And Eddie Masters! Yeah boy!

Yes and no. While I'm behind the fastest qualifier going last, that person doesn't have to be all alone at the top at the end...that seems to get into a lot of the racer's heads under the previous format. We shall see - go Bulldog!!!

I'd be stoked for Bulldog to notch another victory. Women's times so tight!

I think it’s so lame that even though Brook earned the top spot, we still won’t see him drop last. Will he be on the broadcast at all?

i'd imagine they definitely factor in top qualifier for race coverage if not in top 20. would be insane not to include him in webcast. if he pins it, it'll be a nail-biter till the end! could be kinda cool

It is super lame, the fastest qualifier should always start last. It would suck if a low key hero qualifies top 15 and isn't even shown on the live feed (like Dakotah Norton). I hope Red Bull will use the extra time in the schedule from only 60 guys racing to show more people on the feed. Preferably everyone, but top 40 would be great.

"Vali's time would have place her in 4th in Elite Women"
Correction: 9th.
Myriam up at split 2 and 3, exciting!

Look at the Kiwi's! So much going on in this list but some awesome names a lot higher up than normal. Stoked to see so many heavy hitters getting a run for their money by some newer faces. Dakota right up there on the sharp end, Eddie absolutely pinned. Gutted for a few folks getting chopped off with the new top 60 but hell yes, WC round 1!
