Victor Lucas brings you 5-a-day from the drizzly Mount Brome hill at Bromont, Quebec, Canada.

Fabien Barel surprised everyone today with a charging destruction run in the qualifier. He has been pushing hard the last few weeks and somehow seems to be running at 100% despite carrying a nasty knee injury.

Sam Hill got lucky again today – a big crash in practice landed him over the bars into rocks and concrete. Somehow he came up in one piece and put in a solid qualifier for 2nd place.

Tracy Moseley rails a damp, sticky berm in today’s relentless drizzle. Fastest qualifier for T’Mo.

Jared Graves has wrapped up the 4X series. Guess he deserves some time to play around on the jumps then.

The battle in women’s 4X continues to swap sides, this week Jill Kintner was the only girl to take the ‘pro line’ in the 4x qualifier, and she was quickest too.

Clipped in and drifting under power, Romain Saladini shows us how committed you need to be in 4X right now. Fastest qualifier today for the Sunn rider.
