    Quali discussion for Oisin. Great to see Irish mtb talent doing so well in worldcups both on and off track.

    Superb stuff. It's a pity the footage of the Junior races has been so sparse. The womens race1 is live on the RedBull app now.

    Red Bull have the TV rights to the World Cups.
    So the U.C.I. won't allow any other videographers onto the course during race runs. It makes life difficult for Team and magazine videographers.
    I'm not blaming anybody, it's just business.

    Vital MTB results with video from Maribor. It includes pre race interviews with some of the Elite riders.
    Also in there is a post race interview with Oisin and his manager. It starts at about 35 seconds.
    I think it's also worth noting that Chris Cumming finished in 10th place.

    Looks like he was 4s up at the 3rd split, must have made a bunch more time on the bottom part of the course seeing as he crashed and still won

    Not only was he 4 seconds up at split 3, he was 5th fastest of the day to that point.
    It looks that he had most of his lost time back at split 4.
    He's just an amazing talent.

    Yeah, and having a strong Irish contender definitely makes it even more appealing

    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.

    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 Oisin wins on Sunday, he wins overall.
    If Craik wins on Sunday he wins overall.

    1st place 60 points
    2nd place 40 points
    3rd place 30 points
    4th place 25 points
    5th place 20 points
    6th place 18 points
    7th place 16 points
    8th place 14 points
    9th place 12 points
    10th place 10 points
    11th place 8 points
    12th place 6 points
    13th place 4 points
    14th place 2 points
    15th place 1 point.

    Mathematically any of top five can can win overall.

    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.

    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.
