hehehe

 

Guaranteed washout on the 2nd corner... :P

Nothing wrong with Crossmarks for an event like Epic. You're not going to do well at Epic by cornering at high speed. Weekend jol at Conters/Hoogies different story.

Will be interesting to see from tomorrow, even more so from Wednesday, how well they recover and who burned too many matches. History has shown us, you don't win the epic in the first couple of days.

I will remove my strava kudo's accordingly, thanks for letting me know.

Nino won olympics last year... Nino has always been on a whole different level to Kulharvey ito technical skill. Kulharvey has always been the mega climber, but over 2016 he worked to be a lot better on the technical stuff.

 

I never said Kulharvey was bad technically. I said Nino is better.

Nino is on a who different level to most.. the only rider that is more or less on the same level to Nino is Fumic and Fontana..(we've seen this at xco races)..however Fumic and Fontana are behind in power on the climbs and stamina.. that's why they don't get the results Nino does.

 

When the likes of Julian has to adapt and start using different equipment and go ride downhill in the off season with his boet (and he is stubborn) to close the skills gap you know.

 

Kulhavy is of course very skillful else he wouldn't have the results he does.. but known for his power up the long climbs..

Kulhavy needs more skillzzz

Songo-Specialized are clueless when it comes to tyre choice

Platt needs to train more

But you can certainly lose it. Bulls must be 10 minutes down?

Guys can we start a thread with just race updates.

Then this one can be dedicated to the people that know it all.
