Well watching the mens and ladies race, I couldnt help but notice how many riders including Burry struggle in climbs especially over rocky sections. I would have like to see the top 5 in an even split of 29ers and 26ers just to see the difference, But to me it looks like it is a bit heavy to pop those wheels over certain areas.

 

Also saw that.

You did? just wondering if they struggled so much how come they were in front?

 

The camera doesn't give justise to the gradients and difficulty; I think they actually made it look easy!

Really? I think the IOC managed to make out sport look super dorky. The riders were amazing of course but the track looked totally lame in my opinion. The PMB xc track looked way better and was probably done with 10% of the budget of the olympics track.

There seems to be a lot of them on here, especially some of the new SS crowd, then they all walk and preach the "just ride your bike" gospel :clap: :clap:

Maybe not much different to that saying (from racing MX etc in the US, I think); "win on Sunday; sell on Monday". Thinking about what they buy and their abilities as hardly being related to the full race article and operator doesn't enter the heads.
