Eddy Gordo Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 lloked to me to be blowout followed by rim destruction at base of dropoff...if would say 90% chance it was procoreThe reason I assumed it to be procore is because I have seen some other races where there was blowouts and all of them had the blue inner with white writing on it. I think rim tape would be plain
Vetseun Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 Any other SA Champions doing this other than Mr Min?Like who?
ChUkKy Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 Like who? Thats why Im asking, anyone of significance?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 Thats why Im asking, anyone of significance?Johann Potgieter Stefan Garlickie
Stretch Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 how it panned out last year...26" tyres won the day http://www.redbull.com/za/en/bike/stories/1331658958227/watch-the-2014-leogang-final-highlights
nigelhicks Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 Sam Bull racing for Sports Nut is significant ..... - he qualified 51st i think and ended up 71st at Fort Bill yesterday...
Mntboy Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 Thats why Im asking, anyone of significance?Mostly Mr Min and Needles (Andrew Neethling) but Potgieter, Garlicki, Bull and Odendaal also attend & race the WC events. Mr Min and Needles have the advantage of racing for top teams and have little to worry about other than the racing which is a luxury the others unfortunately don't have. That they are there to race is a credit to them and their individual sponsors (if any).

RobinD Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 Fresh from Scotland and his World Cup win, Greg Minnaar joins course commentator Claudio Caluori down the Leogang track. With some brand new sections for this year, it's a blind run for Minnaar - who had not yet ridden the updated sections before. Watch below as an overly-confident Claudio chases him down...
Stretch Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 some new interesting sections in there....and its now raining
Stretch Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 the new sections http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb12335014/p5pb12335014.jpg
NicoBoshoff Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 Yeah, "just a bikepark". That track looks pretty damn gnarly to me thankyouverymuch.
Mntboy Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 ja - he's had a fair amount of success there! but gwinn and gee are also looking strong in the peddle what about the ladies? Tracey is looking fit this year...crash in france and then that booble right at the top in scotland put her off her game - so she is due a clean run...i think its gonna be between her rachel and manonAnd you're forgetting to mention Tahnee and Emmeline. I think the top five not just for this race but the season will be Manon, Rachel, Tracey, Tahnee and Emmeline but in which order is for the racing to decide. Among the men it's a little harder to say but the stand outs so far has been Greg, Gwin & Bruni. Interesting season so far! Bring on Sunday! Edit: Forgot to mention Gee! Another class rider who's always a contender regardless of where the race is being held.
