Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Maybe the UCI wrote N1no an official letter asking him if they may change the rules so that he can wear his rainbow stripes?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Injury tally on The Gorge (JUST that section) 4 collarbones2 severe concussionsJoel1 Handlebar1 Saddle... Not so sure of the rest of the course. Not as injury heavy as Plum Pudding hill a couple of years ago (which can get VERY blown out in summer) but not a bad toll for a 200m section of trail.
ChUkKy Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 yep. Agree fully. Things I consider "easy" would take on a different note if I still had 7 days to ride and I'd just spend 38k & 10 months prep on an entry. No.no no no no no no no no no no no no no no.... Howcome you arent a coach, jurre you just gooid a wealth of knowledge here which Im sure has Schurter, Kulhavy, Sauser, Hynek and all those manne pros and amateurs glued to your post waiting for the next bit of tech setup. If you were that good, why have you not been sponsored as you always have the answers? Maybe not for XC or anything but downhill perhaps? Am I missing something, are you a tech coach?

If Nino offered a skills session, I'd sell both kidneys, my left testicle and half my liver to be there, just to get one 100th of the skills that he has. Kulhavy - I'd get climbing training from. Sauser - how to just carry on and on and on at the same tempo. Hynek - a bit of everything. My comments were strictly related to the non-pointy end people, who (generalisation alert) tend to concentrate more on distance than tech training

DIPSLICK Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Was just sent thisInfo on stranskys fall"No one what happened including Joel. His partner went back to find him lying unconscious at the bottom od a drop. Fractured cheek bone which requires surgery and broken ribs that have punctured his lung. Going into surgery at 6" Strongs,,,he is a tough man that must have been a flippen hard bail
Velouria Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Make no mistake, Joel can ride a bike. That section probably just got a bit big on him, too fast too soon. This is the prologue after all. Riders have been chomping at the bit for weeks to unleash their inner racer. Sometimes **** just happens. As for the race, anyone making predictions on the overall so soon is a little foolish. Let's have a real stage first. I suspect this could all come down to equipment though. As for that list of hubbers doing the epic, I'll start: Me. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Especially after a couple of hundred others have gone before you. It's not a drop per se, just a very steep embankment that ends in a left hand berm. 3m drop in about 1.5m
