Msa world cup

July 31, 2009

Arrived in Canada on Tuesday to rain and wind.  I new the track would hold up pretty well so was not to fazed by it.

 

Walked the track and was happy with the changes they had made, made it less pedaly and had more turns in it so I was stoked.

 

Started practice and kind of felt up to speed pretty quick. Felt good on my bike after a few weeks riding it in France, so was keen to get out there and back up to race speed.  Got though practice with no real crashes and was confident and felt ready for qualy.

 

Qualy went well up until the rocky wood were I went off track hit a few photographers did a 360 then tried getting back on it for the bottom half. Ended up in 8th with that crash so I was pretty pissed off but also gave me a bit of confidence coming in to the final knowing with no mistakes I could be top 3. I had the 2nd fastest split so that was also a big boost.

 

I was sat at the top doing my warm up but just felt like I was never warmed up and ready just felt a bit week. Really felt like I needed a slap in the face to get me angry and ready but it never came so I set off a bit week. My run felt like I was riding to the shops on a Sunday afternoon just could not get up to the speed I knew I could and had been going all weekend.  Got to the bottom not expecting a lot but managed to stay in 8th so kind of good for points but could not help feeling like I stuttered a bit in my run and should have been up there with sam on the podium.
