There was a bit of controversy down in the woods in B practice this morning with roots having to be cut out and some taping changed to allow some of the riders to just stay upright.

Ben Cathro was up with the dawn chorus to document the chaos in his latest vlog – we’ve skipped to the key moment but definitely skip it back to the start if you want his local’s insight. The key quote for us is: “It’s really hard to tell if people are just getting more used to the sanitised tracks or if it just genuinely really flipping hard to ride?” Let us know your thoughts.
