VAL DI SOLE WORLD CUP 2019, INTENSE FACTORY RACING!


 

The mountain was the pesky younger brother; never seemed to co-operate with Neko and Jack's wishes. Track walk gives a window into what is in store for the week. Half wet, Half Dry.

Practice was dry, Quali's was a survival based downpour and Finals was a happy medium.


Black snakes claim Jack's rear wheel.

QUALI'S - LAST SECOND DOWNPOUR

Jack Comes in at 26th in quali's

Even with a few falls Neko qualified 34th

FINALS

With the track splitting its personality, wet and dry will make finals extra challenging. Where to push where to chill. Its all up in the air.

32nd for Jack.

“Very frustrating day for me. I have been looking forward to this race all year, and to have one of my worst results for this season it really stings. I’m glad Lenzerheide is next weekend, and am keen to turn it around!"

-Jack Moir

Once again sharing the hot seats with Dakotah. Unfortunatley didn't last long. Neko ended up settling into P 38 by end of day.

“Lot's of positives to take away from the weekend even though the results sheet doesn’t show it. Both Jack and I rode

well had had some good speed here on this tough track. Unfortunately I crashed In the mud during qualifying and had

a mechanical in my race run. We’ll focus on the good things and get ready to race again next weekend."

- Neko Mulally


Chit chatting about how next week will me full of rainbows and sunshine.

“Going in to Val di Sole, I was feeling more than usual optimism regarding our results. With Neko’s big win at US

Nationals the weekend prior, and Jack’s steady progress, I felt our chances were looking good. For Neko, it’s great to

see he’s proved to himself that he has the speed to be inside the top 20. The result might not show it on paper, but he

fell twice in qualifying (and qualified!), and in the finals was hindered by a slow rear wheel leak. As for Jack, I believe

once he cracks off another top 10, it will keep rolling for him. Overall, our team has been working amazingly well

together, so I am very proud of everyone.”
