The 4X qualifying has come and gone and the results have been announced.

The riders took timed runs down the track to determine which ones would compete in the final event that will be happening this evening. After the dust had settled the top 10 riders were as follows.

Graves 1.09.85
Prokop 1:10.03
Fischbach 1:10.16
Wichman 1:10.71
Rinderknecht 1:10.86
Tatarkovic 1:11.24
Atherton 1:11.24
Tschugg 1:11.33
Saladini 1:11.91
Beaumont 1:11.93

This track is the longest ever seen in competition so this afternoons finals will be interesting. It seems guys like Graves and Atherton who also race DH will have an advantage due to them being able to pedal over a longer distance, but anything can happen. We will post up the results from the finals as soon as it happens. For now here are some pics taken during qualifying.
