Scott 11 rider Florian Pugin set the fastest time in the womens qualifying at Leogang, Austria.
Rain has been hanging over the mountains all morning but despite a persistent drizzle then down pours held off for qualifying.
Pugin, AKA the French Flying Banana came across the line with a huge smile, clearly loving the track and set a 4:24.39, two seconds up on Rachel Atherton and 6 up on Tracy Moseley. Jill Kintner put in a great ride for 4th spot and Emmeline Ragot rounded out the top 5.
