mazambaan Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Hats off to these boys. Not the best conditions with a new knee for GM; I'd be most fearful and good to see Hermida has retained his sense of humour; I'd be sulking and hoping the route got reduced. The life of a pro! They'll earn their money here by the looks of things.

Stretch Posted April 25, 2014 Author Posted April 25, 2014 Quali's video shew..there a lot of short hard peddling spots..gonna be fun tomorrow
dev null Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 The smart thing to do is not to qualify the fastest. In the wet the first guys down will get the track in a better state than the last guys. The track will wear badly, creating some deep channels.
nigelhicks Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 look at some of those sections where they trying to pedal through the gloop and they just not going anywhere Thats horrible. Cant believe they are running 1 minute slower than they should in the dry. EISH
dev null Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) Yes, looks like the riders with the best legs will win on that sticky track. Edited April 25, 2014 by Moridin
