Cyclewizz Posted March 17, 2012 Share And the race is won with a 26er !I thought the 29ers are supposed to be so much faster ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 17, 2012 Share ja, Batty just seems to lack the confidence in the technical stuff. I think she should have gapped it on the line she was used to, and just hung on for the rie as opposed to trying a line that she'd been avoiding all day... Oh well... a deserved win for Maja... Some good looking tech sections in there, and I'm glad to see the rock garden us still giving the troubles it was last year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 17, 2012 Share And the race is won with a 26er !I thought the 29ers are supposed to be so much faster ? nought, bro -you're wrong. 29" bikes pretty much all round, dude. And Maja was def on a 9er. Scott Spark 9er, to be exact. You need to go to the optometrist... Edited March 17, 2012 by cptmayhem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 17, 2012 Share Sure? I must have been watching another race. maybe he was the one watching a different race. Pretty sure I didn't see a 26" bike all day. And Maja even saying that her "29 wheels" helped her through the tech stuff. Hmm... I think someone's had a bit too much to phuza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capricorn Posted March 17, 2012 Share nah, 29ers take positions 1 & 2, world champ on a 26er took third.Batty lost the race in the rock garden. She needs to HTFU and hit those tech sections harder. But props to her for finally earning her popularity: she is looking mighty strong and fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just come from the press conference where the wheel size was brought up! Hahaha! Batty did look a little uncomfy on the rocks, and admitted as much.
