Tumbleweed Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) What!! Patches called dibs?? He tried, but I think he actually fancies her brother more… Purely bromance of couse… "However, it became apparent early in his run that Gwin was suffering mechanical problems, eventually finishing a distant 83rd, after his brakes, in the words of the team manager, 'exploded'."

patches Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) What!! Patches called dibs?? He tried, but I think he actually fancies her brother more… Purely bromance of couse… Hells yeah I called dibs! but totally untrue about the bromance with Mick (although he did show that a my bike was the fastest down the hill in qualies) I do however have couple of other man crushes that raced yesterday. Stevie Smith being one. If Greg didn't win, I would have wanted Stevie to take it. The atmosphere got pretty tense when Gee knocked Smith off the hot seat. There was no love for Gee in Daft Vader's living room yesterday. So so glad that Minnaar sent Gee back to his trailer to cry! Edited September 3, 2012 by patches
kingalton Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 My damn recording stopped in Minaar's run Glad to hear he knocked it out the park. What was his winning time?haha, same happened to me, lucikly i set the Vuelta to record, so i watched it from the Vuelta recording (starts 10 minutes early)
RockCoach Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) I nearly threw something at he TV when the PVR recording ended just before Gee's run. Well done Greg. Super smooth style and hard pedalling won the day. Edit: I clearly have to start setting the buffer at the end of the recordings to 20 minutes. Edited September 3, 2012 by slick
RockCoach Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Patches, I hope you guys didn't break anything more at Daft's place. You bunch of cripples
Tumbleweed Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Just read a short piece that'll appear in this afternoon's edition of the Daily News that quotes his sick dad as saying the win has given him "a big boost”.
gwhite Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 what a champ... proudly SA he had a very strong ride and performed on the day... well done!!!!
Eddy Gordo Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 i missed that saw some of the early runs then decided to go out for my own, and had a crash
Eldron Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 I only have one question - how the hell did Smithy get round that second wall ride without his organs coming out his bottom? Damn that was fast. The option of the two big jumps certainly paid off. Greg was super smooth. Most exciting run of the day goes to Smithy though - right on the ragged edge with loads of sudways action on the way down. Awesome stuff all round - been a while since I shouted at my TV!
Tumbleweed Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 I know it's not about the bike, but I just read on VitalMTB that "Josh, Steve and now Greg" have all won World Champs on V10s
sometime Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Awesome stuff all round - been a while since I shouted at my TV! I gave both kids and the dog a big fright when I shouted at the TV as he crossed the line. Very exciting to watch - well done Greg! Damn I wish I had the balls and skill to ride a bike like almost anyone of those DH guys!
