MTB World Cup DH & 4X #4 - CDM
Fort William, Scotland, Great Britain, June 5-7, 2009
Race 1 - June 5: Four cross qualifying
Kintner and Wichmann fastest in qualifying
By Rob Jones in Fort William
Qualifying saw Jill Kintner - the World Champion on this course in 2007 - in front of Beerten, Australia's Caroline Buchanan and current World Champion Melissa Buhl (KHS) by nearly two seconds for the women's seeding, while round three winner Joost Wichmann squeaked out a nine-one hundredths of a second win over Roger Rinderknecht (GT Bicycles) and 62-hundredths ahead of Jared Graves (Yeti Fox Shox) for the men, with Dan Atherton (Animal Commencal) fourth at just over a second.
The final should be a tight race.
