Jose Hermida is such a funny guy!

I was going to say, I do hope he is joking as STRAVA is banned by the grandstand overlords. They will kick him out.

 

but then I have a looksie, at that killer decent.

some hot times posted yesterday (74 riders, and that's just the guys who had access to uploading their gadgets). and almost all the rest of the quick times from a certain day in late march 2012,

If I am not mistaken the first ladies team has never beat the first mixed team! UNTIL NOW!!

 

 

I think they beat them last year .. I can't be 100% correct though.

 

it's kinda bad that since Erik and Arianne don't compete in the Mixed anymore, we get zero info on the mixed cat.

Interesting vid of Hermida Nothing very daunting about that track tho. What I find interesting is his shape on the bike That seat is hugely in the way forcing him very upright and straight legged at times. Also look at his heels- nowhere near down like they should be when descending Again because the seat is so high. Great skills but why oh why ride MTB descents with the seat up like a road bike? Dropper post for the win...

 

So, you're giving a guy who is quite capable of flying down a hill (with his World Champ colours) advice? Surprised you didn't have a go at his bar ends as well. I think he did just fine with his current set up, and I doubt he'd be any faster with a dropped seat post and downward pointing heels.
