2014 UCI DH World Cup 2 Cairns Qualifying
Rocks, roots and peanut butter gloop - all the action from a spectacular qualifying session.
It feels like everyone is battling here in Cairns. The riders are battling one of the most physically demanding tracks in years, the mechanics are battling to strip 20lbs of mud off after each run and the media are battling it out with the local vegetation.
Qualifying saw some of the favourites (and pretty much everybody else) fall and a couple of surprise packages rise up the ranks.
2014 UCI DH World Cup 2 Cairns Practice
Just when the world's best DH racers were thinking that they knew what they were dealing with at the track here in Cairns, the heavens opened and things got a bit biblical.
The tight confines of the track were a battle for riders and media alike, but it was going to take more than a few poisonous spiders and a bit of rain to deter the Parkin brothers from delivering their highlights of the days practice.
