Konaman Posted March 17, 2012 Share Phillip Buys finished 51st and Renay Gouwstra 78th respectively If we may send a 2nd rider to the Olympic games, then i would send James Reid to gain experience for the 2016 Games, based on his 4th place today in the u23 race. I have the future of Mtb in SA in mind, with my choice as a 2nd rider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwissVan Posted March 17, 2012 Share Wow, Nino in the technical bits was a monster. I see a number thats going to become popular in future.....27.5 (650b)Can you play 27.5 on the lotto?? Nino was riding with 27.5 wheels.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbleweed Posted March 17, 2012 Share Man, that race was awesome! It was hard to tweet! I was too damn excited! Nino did have some interesting things to say in the presser - which was a hoot on its own - after the race about the wheel size. But, it's not just wheel size; it is the bike that goes with it.

Stretch Posted March 17, 2012 Share just got back - that was insane. Spent time at the tree house rock garden and the ampitheatre and then made it for the finish. Was absolutely brilliant.

Have barely had anything to drink today, and that's not like me! Enjoy yours too. Highlight of my day was Joggie introducing me to Thomas Frischnecht! Can't believe the U23 women are going out in this rain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissVan Posted March 17, 2012 Share Hats off to the UCI website for the links to live coverage, was watching from my hotel room here in Ohio and the coverage was awesome. Nino clearly had the advantage on the technical downhill sections. Awesome to see that Burry is looking so strong hope it lasts untill the olympics. The XC course looked fantastic as well, congratulations to all involved. Back in Switz tomorrow and looking forward to watching the DH, hope there is not to much rain in the next 24 hrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kosmonooit Posted March 17, 2012 Share The RedBull video stream was excellent Good Q and no buffering. Rob Warner was commentating (or should I say blagging his was through it most of the time) He was going on as why the okes didn't pack spare tubes lol but he is a good laf. He had Nino Swiss team manager helping him, who told the story of the 27 1/2" or 650 - apparently Nino has been testing these wheels all winter, and find the the best of both worlds. He reckons wheel size also goes in proportion to rider height. Congrags to Burry on a fantastic result. And Cannondale on the podium - Manuel Fumic on a Lefty equipped Flash, not too sure was it a 29er? Edited March 17, 2012 by kosmonooit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
