Certain riders are allowed to by the UCI, and its been like that from the beginning.

Reading more into last night..it seems you have to get approval on the mounting system by the helmet manufacturer to say that the mounting does not interfere with the integrity of the helmet

Whatta race! Loic, absolutely destroyed it, and to lose by .2 of a second is not too bad.

 

Seems like ratboy is back on form.

 

Mr min had a great run other than pumping over the new bridge, it racing, and the seconds he lost there would not have made such a huge difference looking at the time bruni and bryceland posted.

 

Only watched the recording this afternoon, had to maintain Twitter and hub silence as to not see any results prior to me watching.

Korrek. You'll see that a lot of them now mount to the helmet peak as it is 'designed' to break off in the event of a crash.

 

Loic must be tired of 2nd place by now and hearing, 'Your time will come."

Very cool race.

 

Onto Windham  :thumbup:

I liked Loic's responses to questions wrt whether his time would hold: there's a seriously mature mind in those responses. Its inward satisfaction with his attempts that's going to garner this lad some seriously long term success. For a second, it might me wonder if that was why many believed Loic was going to be the next Alien.

Agreed. Loic has a very level head on his shoulders and has real respect for all the riders around him (or at least that comes across in his vids/interviews).

 

I've really been enjoying the Lappiere team vids this year too. Those guys are psyched on riding bikes and life in general.

 

Looks like Ragot's year is done too sadly, "For all wonder, here some news. The American trip is finish for me. Did a mistake today and jump 4 meter straight down, arrived on my leg and elbow. The diagnostic is 3 brakes on the ankle and smash radius head in pieces, who both need to be operate. Bad luck...for sure... I was expecting a better day today." Emmeline Ragot 

 

WynTV MSA wrap up

BBRRRUUUUNNNNIIIIIII!!!!!

 

This guy is in my mind the future Mr Minn......smooth and fast, cool and calm off the bike and he seems to be well liked by all.

 

As per Peat having that Hairy Brit as his protoge, so too should Mr Min have BBRRRUUUNNNIII under his wing.

 

So if he had a chain to pedal with he would have finally managed his first WC race win, damned pity, but such is racing.

considering she was going to retire last year  - i would say thats the last time we see her - unless she decides to do a final world cup race to bow out it in style instead of dropping off a yellow box

syndicate is killing it this year...

 

On instagram Josh said "thanks to the #UCI" for letting the team stand together today"  :clap:

real poke in the eye

Not sure thats correct. I thought they reviewed their decision and now allow it as long as its mounted to the visor ie will break off more easily in a crash.
