KingTJ Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Greg you absolute legend, you have no equal on a downhill!!!!!!
Stretch Posted July 4, 2015 Author Posted July 4, 2015 so you reckon that foot out was 0.8 secs? i dont think so  loved the way loic said "why do you keep winning!"
CAAD4 Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 so you reckon that foot out was 0.8 secs? i dont think so  loved the way loic said "why do you keep winning!"Me thinks "One day you'll understand my Boy, one day." He was probably only 10 when Greg was already World Champ.
Stretch Posted July 4, 2015 Author Posted July 4, 2015 so I have just gone back and watched the girls. Tahnee crashed at exact same spot she crashed at in qualies...damn Emmeline almost had a massive crash - whew! BUT....technically she should have been DSQ on her crash - a guy passing her bike to her would have saved her a few seconds. its not her fault but Atherton was DSQ last year for similar outside assistance. If UCI want to be consistent then they have to DSQ her.. I dont think it would be fair..but consistency is more important....what are your thoughts?
Capricorn Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Rachel at Windham (2011/2012 IIRC) way outside the tape and passed at least 2 poles: NOT DSQ.Rachel at Fort Bill 2014: someone helped her remove the tube wrapped around her wheel: DSQGreg Minnaar outside tape slipping in the mud at Rotorua (2015): DSQEmmeline Ragot being helped pull her bike up the slope after crashing out, Lenderheide (2015): NOT DSQ i dunno hey. Bit iffy tbh. I love Ragdoll Ragot, but that's a fat DSQ there. damn cool to see Sam Hill on a totally no pressure run.  Utterly gutted for Fearon after being saddle slapped onto his face during what seemed like a savage attempt at pole position. Keep it up dude. Its coming faster than most realize. #YeahConnah!

Ryanpmb Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Me thinks "One day you'll understand my Boy, one day." He was probably only 10 when Greg was already World Champ.Same could be said for Peaty and Minnaar.

Commentators curse and all that!  On a more serious note: the UCI has always been iffy in the consistent application of their own rules. So the ruling in favor of Ragot comes as no surprise to me.
