Squier Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 The only real question that needs answering is whether or not Rachel is going to make it ten in a row? Sent from my GT-S6790 using Tapatalk It'll be a major upset if she doesn't. No one is even close. I'll put money on a perfect season for her. All she needs to do is keep it upright.

Rachel could very well aim for a top 20 if she were racing among the men. She's just that good! Sent from my GT-S6790 using Tapatalk
Stretch Posted June 10, 2016 Author Posted June 10, 2016 this new off camber section is either going to end up wild...or just become tame once a regular path has been set http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p6pb13586584/p5pb13586584.jpg

Headshot Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 This track is such a mixture - rather boring stuff now mixed up with crazy new lines - all in the wet. Weather is apparently k@k the whole weekend. Its going to be interesting....
Odinson Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 my girl is back on Sunday also.....but I dont think anyone has anything on rachel unfortunately...which kind of makes the girls race boring They should just have her race in the U23 Men category, so that the other women have a chance to get onto the top step of the podium. Her winning margins are just crazy.

Sent from my GT-S6790 using Tapatalk I checked... she would have been in 72nd position in the mens race at Fort William...
Capricorn Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 I checked... she would have been in 72nd position in the mens race at Fort William... The other girls have to pull finger. that's all there is to it really.
Nick Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Apparently some are not happy with the course. The UCI released this: “After the feedback from team managers from yesterday, some small modifications will be done on the course : Marshall point 16 – Rock Garden : Filling up some holes and making it a little bit easierMarshall point 19 : Open up the bermMarshall point 23: Filling up some holes and making it a little bit easier”
Headshot Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 The words "making it easier" are quite odd in the context of DH. I suspect its a bad translation and means something more like " to make it safer" . What you guys think?
Reden Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Will there be any live broadcast of some sort for this event?
rouxtjie Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Will there be any live broadcast of some sort for this event?redbull tv or ss some channel or the other, they have broadcast before
Mntboy Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 I checked... she would have been in 72nd position in the mens race at Fort William...Oops my bad. However Rachel is just so much better than the other girls though it's laughable that any of them should think that they stand a chance of toppling her. Sent from my GT-S6790 using Tapatalk

Even then she's racing for second too. It'd be nice podium if Tahnee, Tracey and Manon get on it along with the supremo Rachel! Sent from my GT-S6790 using Tapatalk
Duane_Bosch Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 I checked... she would have been in 72nd position in the mens race at Fort William...WOW. That makes her INCREDIBLY fast. That's FAST. To put things into context Garlicke didn't make the top 80 big show and he's a PROPER fast racer.
Odinson Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 So, what's the consensus on Gee Atherton? He's seems damn fast, but hasn't recently been able to convert that speed into consistent podium finishes. There's also something about him that puts me off - maybe it's that permanent scowl of his.
