Two more World Cups this weekend in Lousa, Portugal.
Qualifying for the 1st race was today.
Oisin was 2nd.
Race is tomorrow.

Saw he got a DNF yesterday in timed practice,was hoping just a mechanical, good to see him up there in qualifying,no Christopher Cummings though?

Bad day for Oisin.
Finished last.
Seemed to be going well to the first split. Something happened then, lost time time through all the splits, maybe a puncture.

Eamonnator · 30-10-2020 2:57pm

Confirmation, Oisin punctured.
Sh1t happens.

Another chance on Sunday

What sort of permutations are we looking at on Sunday for him to take the overall, anyone seen anything anywhere?

Here are the results from today. If you scroll down you'll see the standings.
Oisin has 120 points, 60 points for each win.
Ethan Craik has 101 points, he won today.

If Craik wins on Sunday he wins overall.

1st place 60 points
2nd place 40 points

4th place 25 points
5th place 20 points
6th place 18 points
7th place 16 points

The Portugese lad, who was fastest in Qualifying, can't win the overall.Nor can the American, who was 3rd in Qualifying.
Craik, who is lying 2nd overall, wasn't in top 10 in Qualifying.
So looking quite positive for tomorrow.

2nd behind a local who's prob spends his days on the track. Amazing start to his career

Plastik · 31-10-2020 10:09pm

Craik was a long way back for a lad that won the Friday race. Assume he made a mistake on the run, don't know would I read too much into his quali time.

Eamonnator · 01-11-2020 11:28am

Anybody got any results.
Oisin left Start Gate at 1020am.

Eamonnator · 01-11-2020 11:32am

Just heard. Oisin crashed, finished 20th.

Eamonnator · 01-11-2020 11:45am

Looks to me, Craik wins overall with Oisin 2nd overall.
Not sure, race not long over. My son is on whats app to me, but he's busy.

This is a video from the YT Mob starring Oisin, shot on location in Ballyhoura and in and around Oisin's home.
It's a good 'un.

Great video, it's mad how much the Yanks struggle with our names Ocean O'Callaghan.

Joeseph Balls · 11-06-2021 10:28pm

I think Oisin was racing today, can't find anything on Red Bull TV, except the elites. Anyone know how he got on?

mad turnip · 11-06-2021 10:50pm

Had a big crash in the morning session according to insta, qualified in 13th, splits suggest an early crash to 28th then made up time to come 13th. YT mob did some nice videos last year and I think I saw some vital footage of Oisin looked pretty good in the lower woods.

Thanks, it's a pity Red Bull App don't show highlights of the juniors

Cathro said he looked one of the form riders during practice.
