must say absalon had no answer to nino...I wonder if that catch up on the first lap took it out of him...plus only arriving on Friday

 

Nino always does that..starts very fast to put pressure on Julian to have to play catch up..

 

Alsi Nino is technically the best.. always taking the faster line.

 

They mustn't use the jetlag as an excuse.. you heard his manager/physio or whatever he was (the arrogant yank guy).. said he was fine and in great form and would beat Nino ;)

I can see we have our different favourites.......although its very difficult to cheer absalon on when nino is as good as he is at the moment...technical course...its going to be difficult to beat him

Lol

 

I really enjoy watching Nino ride.. so powerful and technically it's crazy jaw dropping stuff.

Enjoyed this event a lot.

 

Not as tight as the last one, as the track had a lot of varying line choices.

I'm happy the Loic actually made to to the bottom on top of his bike. He certainyl set the bar high for the rest of the field.

 

Mr min made it look like he was rolling down a tarred road.

 

missed the xco...too tired from rifing this weekend.

Great racing but I found Rob's XC commentary a bit embarrassing and badly informed at times, for example he says Katerina Nash is in semi-retirement (just because he hasn't seen her at UCI XC events) whilst actually she has just wrapped up the US Pro XCT Series (which Pendrell and Ms Batty have also been competing in), its all there on-line on the likes of Cycling / Velo news websites, surely if you are going to commentate at this level you should take the time to get informed.

Wells and Nash win US Pro XCT

I wonder how much his apparently massive crash that morning affected his run. My feeling is not that much....just some incredible riding from those above

 

talking about smooth...I though ratboy's top section looked like he was riding on air - the boy was showing some serious style - he made it look as easy as pie. Sam won it between splits one and two I reckon

I think its a budget thing...Cunny and Rob are well informed from the dh perspective...but they probably canot afford a second xc specialist so they just chuck Rob in there..with some backup by cunny. You are right though...he comments more on the the wheel size than anything else.....I do enjoy bart though
