Will be live on Freecaster but you need to buy a 'code', worth supporting considering they broadcast all the World Cup mtb and downhill for free.

Shoe, it must a big step up riding in SA races and then suddenly have to ride in a World Champs. It's kinda like playing in the Varsity Cup and then having to move to the Super 15. Tough.
