Troy Brosnan just came through with a great result at Vallnord qualifying close to a second ahead of the GOAT, Greg Minnaar. While a handful of riders seem to favor 27.5″ wheels on this track, there were still a great deal of 29″ wheeled pilots in the top 10. Wheel sizes aside, this race is shaping up to be a win for the spectators with athletes absolutely loving the track. Tomorrow could quite literally go to anyone.<\/p>\n
