Just watched the men's now. That's 2 dominated wins in the women's and the men's.. Not even close. Was a pretty boring race from a competition perspective

She demolished everyone. 2 for 2 and in both races no one has even been close

I was just thinking today ..Stage races are pretty much dead in the water..

Watched escape from Pretoria today. Some of the accents were horrific but it was an ok movie to watch. Kept me intrigued. The ridiculous thing is that it was filmed in Australia instead of South Africa because it was more affordable in Australia.. Crazy

Mines dropped by about 7000.. they Must have removed posts related to chit chat as nick et al have been alluding to

incredible power by those two...unreal! pidcock was flat out and MVDP still pipped him

wish they would get some translators in for interviews with the europeans

to be fair - she's at the sharp end of the race.....mentioning Emily batty at 17th or whatever she is is worse! edit...but you are right - they mention her more than the leader!

getting psyched up...gonna be interesting to see how the young lad from Leeds does in the short course format

Joshua Cheptagai going for the 3000m world record on the 19th. No one has come even remotely close to the current record of 7:20 so it will be interesting to see

SC in a specialized box...very clever..no one will want to steal it en route thinking it was a specialized

mine was set on content i had not read - but maybe i needed to actually click save to save the setting to my profile - i will test just checked - it works now

I have a gazillion of space - if the width of the site was 90% of the screen it would make reading threads a lot easier

I have a few comments. Since I cant tapatalk at the moment, browsing on the mobile is quite difficult because after you open a thread you cant easily go back to the forum listing except for clicking the hub icon and then you have about three clicks to get back to the forum listing - bit clunky clicking on a thread does not take you to your last position. it appears to take you to the last page only

Makes sense to consolidate everything into the one store. I always just used to use the town one because it because it was convenient from Wembley. That shop was like an institution though! lots of my moola got funnelled into it ????

I only use Tapatalk...please dont neglect it..thats my only comment

Rob and Bart mention Redbull athletes more than anyone else because .. Well.. They're Redbull athletes. It's the only reason why they still point out Emily Betty in the field in the last 4 or 5 years because she really hasn't been in the sharp edge of the competition in years. Rob certainly getting a lot of flack on here. He's not perfect, but he's improved a lot. We could have worse. Just go listen to the 2012 Olympics.

Like a foreign concept these days. I'm watching three shows like that at the moment. it's both frustrating and enlightening at the same time

Was my go to shop for spares. My only small gripe I ever had was that when they opened the new shop the one in town got neglected a bit. Is the town shop still running?

Yup... Very good

I though I linked this document earlier, but it obviously did not link through tapatalk. This explains the qualification process https://www.uci.org/docs/default-source/official-documents/tokyo-2020---olympic-games/final---2021-04-27---tokyo-2020---revised-qualification-system---mtb---eng.pdf

Got to take what Rob says with a pinch of salt but he said in the commentary that team GB didn't have a spot in the Olympics and it depended on what happened with other countries... Which sounds bizarre to be honest... But.. If you take rankings etc from the 2019/20 there was no GB riders in the mix... So why would they have a spot... Still.. The system seems crazy Edit.. Make some sense of this...

Yeah.. Pretty impressive to maintain a podium standing on his legs for half a lap.. Makes you wonder if the weight sacrifice of a manual override would be worth it. Lecomte also had some issues with her dropper... But hers was just getting stuck (probably from some dust/dirt)

Double header by team France

Absolutely.. Incredible race
