2015 Mont-Sainte-Anne Qualifying highlights

Friday’s Downhill World Cup qualifying session here in Mont-Sainte-Anne was wetter than an otter's pocket.

Five minutes before series leader Aaron Gwin was due to leave the start hut a storm of epic proportions took hold over the track, turning what was a sun-baked brute into a rain soaked swamp in a matter of minutes.

2015 UCI DH World Cup Mont-St-Anne Practice

The riders may have been counting their lucky stars that they missed the torrential downpour that hit Mont-Sainte-Anne at the end of practice yesterday but they may be facing some soggy conditions underneath when they take to qualifying today.

Danny Hart is the master of such conditions and headed timed training at the end of practice. With more rain forecast over the weekend it may just be time for Danny to finally register a World Cup win. Stevie Smith definitely won’t be challenging. An ankle injury rules him out of the rest of the weekend.

The Parkin brothers bring you the best of the practice action from the Canadian World Cup venue.

GET LOST IN THE MOMENT

"There comes a time in all our lives when we must let go of all the chaos and clutter of the modern world and tune our minds to a simpler idea…to see into that empty space just a few feet in front of us and see nothing else… to see the path ahead as a story yet to be written. Entire days of our lives can pass by without meaning, yet within these moments of absolute clarity there’s an entire lifetime worth remembering. It’s simply a matter of letting the rest of the world melt away…"
