2012 Val d'Isere WC Qualifying By DirtTv

A new French track threw up some challenges for the top racers this weekend. Tracey Hannah suffered a broken femur and collarbone, Aaron Gwin went down ending up with 5 stitches in his hand and numerous other riders had mechanicals including Mick Hannah snapping his handlebars!

The dusty track was turned on its head and a rain stormed out of the alpine clouds. Upsetting qualifying times and placing some top racers down the start list the weather came good for racing on Sunday.

Here is all the action from qualifying with Cam Cole taking the top spot setting the Kiwi precedent for Sundays race.
