We are battling the elements here in Montpellier. Pro semis just went down, with Kio Hayakawa and Jean William Prevost both throwing heavy flawless runs. The level was fitting of a final!!
Aude Cassagne took the top spot in Women’s qualifying, and Gabin Jumelin had an amazing run to take top spot in Expert qualifying.
Kio Hayakawa takes the top spot in the first qualifying competition here at Fiseworld UCI World Cup in Montpellier, France. Top 16 make semi finals, the event started yesterday and had to stop due to rain stopping the event being able to run.
We finished qualifying at 9am this morning, with the last group of eight riders. Props to all the riders getting it done in difficult conditions. Semis later on today, let’s hope the rain stays away.
