It's not just you

 

 

Try the app maybe you have better luck than me.. I found it useless.

The app is useless...no info, accept if you are interested in following the torch carriers live

 

Accidently download the game instead of the app, and its been a nice way to kill time

so the one thing Sagan has done is take the spotlight off the Nino/Julien show. here's a medal contender doing a wheelie

 

 

Sagz puts bums on seats and eyes on the telly. So yes am happy to have him racing!

 

And Jolanda is wheelie good but her predisposition to not to doing well at World's since turning elite has me a bit worried about whether she's going to be a contender on the day. Jenny Rissveds on the other hand could very well be.

Jolanda has her off days, besides illness she sometimes goes out a bit too strong at the start but on a good day she is unbeatable, and remember she has been racing Elites for a while. I reckon its between her and Anika, Jenny,  well maybe she has showed what she is capable of but has not been racing Elites for long.  Pauline has been suffering as well, but might surprise, this hasn't been a good year for her.

 

I have Lea  down for a medal as well.

Not saying that she can't podium or win just saying past history makes me doubt whether she can deliver a performance on the day and she's also doing the road race too. That said she shouldn't be written off because of that history, if anything it makes her a dark horse of sorts which could help her spring a surprise win. The podium I want is Rissveds, Langvad and Neff.

The last 2 years we've seen that Neff struggles on the day it all matters..it may be coincidence that she just wasn't feeling well and she also doesn't like the heat and humidity too much, but it does make one wonder about how she deals with the big moments.

 

Remarkable athlete no doubt and when she is on form she is brilliant.

All it takes is one good race for that to turn around. Remember Vos won the Olympics before she won world's. Not impossible for Neff to do the same.

 

It will be a massively interesting race though!

Jolanda has this rather odd smile on her face at the start of one of the XCO world champs. I found it utterly weird, like she was jacked on feel-good drugs, maybe from winning the world marathon champs? Don't really wanna see it again. I found it disturbing. She looked utterly mental tbh.

i think Annika is going to take this one (Me hopes very much). The track suites her best, not to technical and very fast

[kosmonooit]

Yo!anda is tops on technical skiils in the current field I reckon, hoping she will have a good day, race clever and pounce for Gold when it matters.

Going to have to watch another lap, but I reckon its up there on the technical scale. Didn't that saffa dude who did the Pmb one do it?  That really put rock gardens onto the map.

[Funkman]

That rock garden will give me nightmares . ...Just looking at it makes me break a cold sweat

will have look again, but it only looked bad if you come off your bike.  As long as you choose your line right, its pretty smooth it seems

yup - think it's Nick Floros behind this one

[mornevg]

Annika all the way!

 

Interesting how Jolanda and Annika seem to "miss" each other at their tapering races. Jolanda did London, Annika this weekend.

 

What ever happens, going to be one hell of a race.
