Caerus Posted March 18, 2012 Share fantastic ride by Greg, but boy, did he lose quite a bit of weight. He looks almost gaunt! but to reinvent himself like this and beat gwin at his own game.. PERFECT!!!hotdamn, this season started off with a bang! Gotta love sick mick being back at his near-best. He has been doing lots of XC riding for training, he kicked arse at a recent race. Must have been over the flat section where he picked up some time as he was 2 secs down on the first section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grebel Posted March 18, 2012 Share first split - 2 secs downsecond split - 1 secthird split - win! was an awesome atmosphere today! walked up to cloud 9 with @grebels during the practice and stayed there till the first few guys, then made my way down to the big crowd for the last 20 odd guys - brilliant stuff!! Had a fantastic day! Met Stretch near the bottom and walked up to Cloud 9. What a section. These guys have b@lls. Waited for the first few ladies and the started to make my way back down. Sorry to the other hubbers that I was supposed to meet at 12 in the beer tent. We were at Cloud 9 at 12. If you did get to Cloud 9 I am sure you will forgive us for not coming back down! Well done to Greg!! Fantastic ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capricorn Posted March 18, 2012 Share He has been doing lots of XC riding for training, he kicked arse at a recent race. Must have been over the flat section where he picked up some time as he was 2 secs down on the first section.Greg's been known to do lots of riding, road and XC, so I wonder what's changed. All the WC riders to a LOT of roadie/XC mileage, obviously some more than others.Still curious to know how he mixed it up. maybe he changed nothing, who knows? But as he said in that interview: he knew he was down, but just cranked and refused to sit until he had crossed that finish line. Man, i'm so damn glad someone, especially a saffa, put some serious margin into Gwin. There, i said it.. again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch Posted March 18, 2012 Share I was at the beer garden @ 12.15pm after the interviews at the grandstand. ja - timing wasn't right - @grebel and I were about 3 k's up the course at cloud 9! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andydude Posted March 19, 2012 Share First time I watched the downhill and man it was WOW! Those guys fly and I'm sure the course is even worse in real life than what the TV shows. I would probably have fallen around every corner and over every root. Well done to Minnaar - legend with lots of BMT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And after that walk to the top, I wasn't going to walk down and back up again!!! We will have to make a plan to do a social ride sometime. I haven't been on a bike for nearly six months so it will have to be an easy one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
