It was very sketchy yesterday, on both the XC and DH tracks. The sun came out a bit today but conditions were still difficult. Philippines was third at the XC Relay today, which is a feat in itself considering powerhouses China got 1st and Japan 2nd. Our team consisted of (in order of release): 1. EJ Flores 2. Ariana Dormitorio 3. Jekjek Rivera 4. Avegail Rombaon 5. Jericho Rivera Tomorrow is the Finals for DHI. The field in Danao is the strongest I've seen yet, as the top Japanese, Thai, and Indonesian riders are here, some of whom have competed in the World Championships against the likes of Gwin, Minnaar, Hart, Bruni, etc. However, we are on home loam. In addition, the local crowd is overwhelmingly for the Philippines, of course. I hope Jerich Farr, Lea Belgira, Binoy Salazar, Scott Remi, and JR Barba can get us to the promised land in their categories.

I saw Barba's crash, is that a dislocated shoulder?
and yeah, the transport of the bikes is something to be frowned upon.

oo nga eh, parang wala mang 30 seconds nandyan na yung kasunod na rider. ang alam ko nga sa WC at least a minute out na yung rider bago magpalabas ng susunod.
tapos parang ang bagal hatakin nung bike, nag-crash na dehins itinabi agad. i was actually expecting a crash from the second rider.

JR crashed during the last free practice. There are no gaps in free practice, riders can be let go at whatever interval they like. A rider can even hang out at a section while watching other riders take lines.
He fractured his forearm, btw, between the elbow and wrist, but he is in good spirits.
Gaps during official timed session is 1min. Finals is 2 minutes. This is typically the standard in Continental Championship events.
The only real concern was the transport of the bikes and riders, otherwise, the racing was good and the tracks were sick.
Will post about the XCO finals tomorrow after I get a bit of rest and fly back to Manila.

Of the four pinoys who raced, only Jerich had a clean run. Minalas talaga tayo. JR took a high risk, high reward line (which nobody else rode) but he crashed though. Scott Remi taco'd his rim on the same drop that JR crashed at, while our junior rider (Radzmier "Binoy" Salazar of Batang Patiis) broke his left collarbone also at that same double drop. Scott and Binoy took a different line, btw, but all our pinoy riders crashed at the same location. Everybody was on attack mode pretty much because it was hero dirt yesterday. Many paid the price. Popo Ario and Mukhib (both Barba level riders from Indonesia) broke cranks. Japan's #1 rider (highest asian on the UCI ranking) broke his handlebar (in the middle by the stem!) and was also sent to the hospital. Wheelsets and tires were being replaced almost after every run. There were also other riders who had mechanicals and injuries on Saturday because everyone was on attack mode. Nanggigigil, ika nga. Anyways, here are the results.

pity, so that was just a practice run... regardless the track wasn't cleared quickly.
