What happened to Gwin? Looked like he was stuck in a really easy gear.

Some great racing there, gutted for Josh particularly crashing in the WCs two years on the trot.

Brakes pulled to the bar apparently

Doesn't sound too fussed about Worlds

Seems foolish to trial a component at the Worlds....surely reliability is the name of the game at a one off race?!

seems foolish to employ Monkey as your mechanic.

I thought that but speaking to the guys yesterday and today a lot of stuff is 'prototype' stuff. Was really interesting. From what I gather it's not tested for first time at these events but they are used as well as during training etc.

I'm looking forward to watching the red bull commentary. I was listening to him interview Peaty and it was hilarious

He was up, rode off the trail into the catch fencing under a really tech section that many of the pro went around. Seemed that maybe his brakes failed, he shot down it.

Gwin's been running those brakes all year. He was offered the production version but apparently prefers the feel of the protos so stuck with them.

some great interviews about Peatys last 20 years, especially the Jason Mcroy story.
