Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

To quote Nick Fellowes on Eurosport as Didier Cuche crosses the line:

"it's win number 2..... Didier Cuche wins again..."

How does he know Cuche is going to take the win? It clearly states "Eurosport Live" in the corner of my screen, and with Cuche wearing bib number 22, there are 39 racers after Cuche???

Is it not really live?
Or is he psychic?

Puzzled

cresswell80, or is there no one anywhere near Didier Cuche's form skiing after him?

The guy's a legend in my book. Cuche looks as strong as an OX. No one is near him at the moment imho. Great result for the young Italian.

Absolutely, but "Cuche takes the lead" would be more appropriate surely?! It is possible after all for him to beaten, although I admit, not likely! Also, who'd have thought your man Paris would have finished 2nd!?

It's not like you say "Man Utd win again" when they go one-nil up after an hour against West Ham!

Or am I being a pedant?!

cresswell80, given the time he got and the way the rest of the field had done so far it was probably a bit more like Man U going 4-0 up after an hour...

Seeing Cuche flying down the Mausefalle in the tuck last week, whilst everybody else was surviving the terrifying jump was awesome.

Agreed; watched it and me and my son both said the same when he did it....

He is currently a step ahead of the rest!

OK next question!!!

How do they determine the start order for the 2nd run in the SC? I always thought it was in reverse time order, i.e. The fastest from the 1st run goes last, however Beat Feuz was fastest on the DH leg and there are loads of racers starting after him on the Slalom leg??

cresswell80, In SC they reverse only the top 30 fastest from the 1st run, then it's the 31st, 32nd etc.

Well done to ED Drake of GB for getting 26th overall in SC & some WC points.
Strange how Ed was given the start over TJ Baldwin though, especially as TJ is GB ranked No1 in SC & No100 in the world. Ed is ranked No3 in SC in GB & 145 in the world. Coaches decision, not his. Ed is 4th year senior, TJ is first year.
The other alpine nations gave their younger skiers a chance, why not team GB?

Just watched the highlights on SKi Sunday extra- that's one tight right hander for the skiers to negotiate Shocked

Any news on Osborn-Paradis' injury - was the hospital trip just precautionary? I notice that Bode wasn't mentioned, did he have the weekend off then?

It's pretty easy.... top 7 guys in WC have numbers from 16 to 22. Sure there's still chance someone with later number might win, but these chances are minimal, so when number 22 is down, top 3 or even top 5 results are pretty much final. Just take a look on results and check bib number, and you will see there's not many in top 10 with numbers above 30 and also not many on top 5 with numbers above 22.

Hope he's gonna be OK. I had dinner in the hotel that the Canadian team were staying in on Friday evening and Manny came in to say hello and to give the kids VIP passes for the race. Last thing I said was "good luck for tomorrow".... now I think I jinxed him Sad

Anyway, he thinks he'll be out for 8 months - update here http://www.manuelracing.com/
