Just about to start on red bull TV
sitting in front of the TV watching it, break between the women and men should be spot on for a a quick bite to eat.
I'm locked in. Also planning a dinner break after the women's race. I'm thinking fish finger sarnies.
Bacon here, almost time.
Just 2 to go.
I've got Valli in my fantasy team
Course looks so tame after Hardline… That ain’t a gap jump 😂
I was so scared for Valli, I'm glad she just stayed on her bike and got a safe run in the bag. I'm sure she'll absolutely destroy the whole field when the conditions are right.
Disappointed for Eleonora to be honest. The woman's racing this year is so much better with some different names on the podium and the times seem to be closer although I might be imagining that.
I'm looking forward to this, I've cleared my day to sit and watch it. Sitting watching having lunch 🙂
im having sausage butty with aubergine pickle. Just discovered it and I don't things will ever be the same again
I thought Cathro's inside the tape was one of the best ones, as he analysed pretty much the whole track rather than just doing loads of 'ghosting' on one section. I thought he wouldn't have time with racing but he's got some minions to help him now I guess
did anyone see the amount of amazing riding just to get from the top of the gondola to the start hut? probably a UK 2 min tracks worth
Atwill, nice stoppie at the finish then great bit of swearing. Warner had to apologise - oh the irony
Benoit is going to be in the hot seat for a long time. Fantasy team looking good!
Claudio was doing a lot of guerrilla advertising for Commencal then; He just kept going on about how well Coulanges bike was handling the track
Everytime I see the photographer's at that left hand grass turn just before the finish I'm expecting someone to slide out into them with the speed they are carrying through there
It works on me, I'd love to buy a Commencal Supreme. Coulanges did look very good though. Much less ragged than most.
Fantastic to see Dan Slack do so well, and great to see Luca Shaw in amongst it again. Could be a French 1-2-3 though
that run by Greg was impressive!
holy shit! you can gain all sorts of time on the tarmac run in
not as impressive as Laurie though!
How many different leaders in the last few runs? We haven't had a race like that in years.
that was brilliant!!
mightily impressive from Vergier, so much confidence. Its like he's mastered Maribor. Completed it mate. Duprala is scarily fast. Those Frenchies are so so rapidement
And Greenland of course
Talking of swearing, I have been a massive Eleanora Farina fan ever since the World Championships last year in Leogang (I think that was it) when her bike got clogged and she effed and blinded her way down the course. Having been in such a situation (only way slower, and on a way less scary course obvs), that is exactly what it is like.
Saw the ad for Rob Warner's Wild Rides during the race, thought I'd give it a go. It's really good watching. A decent travel programme. 🙂
Claudio was doing a lot of guerrilla advertising for Commencal then;
i thought he worked for Scott?
That was a hell of a race!
Young Phoebe Gale going great guns in the juniors. She should be back in my class Thursday mind you given the choices I'd stay out there.
Jordan Williams 2nd in Juniors after making a mistake at the top and pulling over 2 seconds back on the lower half, the times of him and Jackson Goldstone are top 20 in Elite, (Jordan’s qualifying time would of been 8th in Elite) his dad used to drive the uplift at Okeford a few years back and the speed Jordan had back then was insane, when I asked him what line he took though the rock garden once, he just shrugged and said “hit the first rock and jump the whole thing”. A genuinely nice lad.
