Qualifying runs have wrapped at 2024 Red Bull Hardline Wales with last year’s storm long forgotten in the Welsh sunshine.
29 riders went against the clock for the first time at the 10th anniversary Red Bull Hardline at its spiritual home in the Dyfi Valley.
Ronan Dunne, with his fresh Red Bull lid, put two and a half seconds into former Hardline champ Bernard Kerr, himself a couple up on Colombian urban downhill star Juanfer Velez. Charlie Hatton slotted into fourth with George Brannigan rounding out the top 5.
Adam Brayton got a flat in his run but will race tomorrow, whilst Gaetan Vige is still recovering from a crash in practice and will sit out the race.
