Scarier than hospital hill decent at the Argus this year?

Most defiantly!!! crashing on the road isn't that bad as long as you know it's coming :whistling:  Had a way worse one a few weeks later :( 

 

The main reason is the rain washed the soil out from between the logs and then your wheels just disappear into the hole and the timing is all wrong, as your back wheel is going over a log your front is going into a hole. Then you have to try make the corner at the bottom.

He he he.. true story lol

 

Should've seen me when I saw the video of Julian and Sagan riding the course together.. my brain nearly exploded.

 

 

It's really cool.. because the hype that the xco is amazing.. these xco riders deserve more and more attention from a wider audience.. there are journos covering the xco that would normally only cover road racing.. so what he is doing for the discipline is awesome and most welcomed.

 

 

For those who missed the video

 

Here it is again.

Shame it really sweet.. before Sagan did the races in Austria I think, he said in an interview that when he was racing xco as a kid he would see all the pros with all their mechanics and gazebos and he always just wanted to be one of them. Fast forward to 2016 he will he sharing the course with the likes of Julian Absalon and Hermida who when Sagan was a kid were those guys and he will have his own tech zone.. this is a very personal thing for him[emoji122] [emoji122]
