Bummer for Tracey Hannah: It sounds like she had a bad crash at Val d'Isere - broken femur and collarbone. The word was she was looking super fast on the track. Such a shame. Heal up and eyes on next year.
Stevie had a bad quail run too - don't know what happened but he finished waaay back.
Sam Hill and Gwin just barely made the top 80. I'm not sure what happened there either.
It should make for an interesting race come Sunday. Healing vibes to those who crashed out.
Looks like Gwin had a big crash just before the finish

apparently Gwinn ended up with some stitches, Hill was supposedly in fine form too, riding fast and loose hitting lines like no one else, almost like old times. Hopefully they are back in it.

and he just gets back up and on the bike! geez
I like the one comment about Hill taking lines that no one else could. I'd sure like to see him do well!
My favourite top three would be Smith, Hill, Fairclough. Fingers and toes crossed, lol.
Holy smokes, Gwin came close to doing the scorpion there. After Smith, I always root for Danny Hart.

TWO crashes for gwin, flats for steve smith and hill
Harsh crash for Nick Beer. Almost did a front flip there. Good to see someone else win for a change, especially a first timer!
