Well the big day is finally here. Gotta say we're all a bit nervous. Course and arena look bloody fantastic. everyone a bit tired. ALL the best riders are here...somehow. Loads of crashes in practice including a  bad one for our Mel, she won't be on the line for what would have been her first World Cup and she is a bit miffed about it. Course crew have done an amazing job. Big screen, great commentators, the world's best riders, a fantastic course with loads of great viewing points...and some dust. If you're not here today then you oughta have a good excuse...or a sick note.

Joolze will be running a report from the weekends action.

Absolute highlight of day 2 was Steve James on the World Cup podium...wow. He was leading for first lap and managed to hold on and bring home something we haven't seen for a long time. Just behind in scond place on the highlights list was Niall Frost pretty well riding tandem with frischi for 30km...I reckon Frischi could have had him...but we'll never know!

Live freecaster coverage at 1045 and 1430...who's who of british xc doing the commentary.

Dalby dare was popular but chaotic on the course...
