This is two thirds of the new Dirt Norco team - Ben Reid and Duncan Riffle. How is D-Riff fitting in with life on the road in the Thundertruck? Listen to Audio
Some of you may know that CRC/Nukeproof Team Manager Nigel Page won a medal at the BMX World Champs a few weeks ago...But here it's back to business and fetching water for his thirsty crew.
First big race of the year for Cam Cole who is just back from a nasty broken arm and Jared Graves is ready for some action. Listen to Audio
While the riders had a slow day, the mechanics have been flat out getting everything ready for tomorrow. Jon Cancellier and the SRAM crew have been dealing with the mechanical carnage that 10 weeks without a real service can inflict on race bikes. Plus some other carnage that Jon has been involved in... Listen to Audio
Danny Hart seems fairly relaxed, it sounds like he has been doing a hell of a lot of training and testing, in fact he has worn out one bike already! Listen to Audio
Sam Hill is back, fully fit and motivated for serious racing. He's also a Dad now. So will we see a different and more mature approach from Sam? Listen to Audio
Tahnee Seagrave is here for her first World Cup. As a Morzine local she has no fear of steep roots and mud. There must be a few nerves though? Listen to Audio
Chris Ball was up on the course today making sure everything was in good shape. There are a lot of small changes and the track looks incredibly fast right now. Steep as ever with many many hidden rocks and roots. Tomorrow's practice will inflict some serious damage to the smooth lines and along with a shaky weather forecast things are going to be very interesting. Listen to Audio
Brendan Fairclough is looking serious. This is a track that suits him and he has maybe got some pressure to perform on his new team. He even has his trainer Matt along for the trip to help him manage his recent shoulder injury. Listen to Audio
There were quite a lot of new faces around today - These guys are the two fastest riders in Indonesia and they're here for their first World Cup experience. It will certainly be a good test on this unforgiving course. Listen to Audio

So its day zero here in Val di Sole for the real World Cup downhill season opener. It’s 10 weeks since round one in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa and it’s just a distant memory. It’s hard to imagine how the racers have managed to stay focused on racing for all that time…so I did a lap of the pits to see what was going on. Victor Lucas
