Gen Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 What is the "unwritten rule" of not overtaking at the WP's? Seems to have caught Sauser out??I think that unwritten rule is only if all stop. Feeding strategy.. and it seems to have cost the young Scott'er that they didnt stop..
Pure Savage Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 The ol' whiteboard tech Yoh, going all out, only 2 riders, are they keeping the other 3 spots for back markers.... There is a rider whose name sounds like hubcappie that should be on that board everyday just for laughs.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Myles, did you almost have a hernia resisting the urge to suggest that Sauser/CoolHarvey run a Magic Mary in SuperGravity casing? OR a Butcher, or an e13TRSr, or a Minion, or an Aggressor, or a Ground control.. or or or... Heck, ANYTHING with reinforced sidewalls and decent tread.
Thermophage Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 I could, but I'm not fit enough for the rest of the event But seriously - a lot of them would do well to get some skills training. Why would we want to do this? Getting stuck behind super fit people who ace you on an uphill but who (for the most part) have 4kol clue on any singletrack or descent...And then the bike breakages....eish them bikes must be made out of paper glues together with snot the way tyres die :S
Pure Savage Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 There are four riders listed there, have another closer look. I though it was only two as well. Still not nearly enough though.Oh, I see now, above the list. Maybe this is only the front bunch of testing?
Gen Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 The yellow jersey retained. Wow.Geez, those two look like they're having fun.Looks really connected.Really happy for them.. Fumic is a likable guy
Meezo Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 i'd put money on it, that atleast 6 out of the 10 riders infront are faster than our fastest at local enduro's not our downhill manne of course
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Maybe our tech guru can pick them up some permatubes from Makro for tomorrows stageWould much rather have this... heavy at 200g per tyre, but it's a closed cell foam so it won't absorb sealant and it's great for snakebite protection as well. Given a choice between this and the extra sidewall protection, though, I'd choose the extra sidewall protection.
Gen Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Aah this pic is clearer. Stage winners..GC leaders and a few others That just doesn't seem like enough in the Elite group hey..surely every single one of them should be tested every day
Vetseun Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 What we learnt today Kulhavy needs more skillzzzSongo-Specialized are clueless when it comes to tyre choicePlatt needs to train moreAnd that the TOP mountainbikers in the world dont need to bring technical advisors wuth them. We have the most talented advisor right here on the hub.
BaGearA Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Why would they stop then? Not saying you're wrong, just trying to understand what assumptions are made. This has been an issue before. To take water , food , mechanicals ect. ect
DIPSLICK Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 i'd put money on it, that atleast 6 out of the 10 riders infront are faster than our fastest at local enduro's not our downhill PRO manne of courseFIXED,,,AND I WOULD THROW MONEY ON THAT
Sparki 1 Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Maybe our tech guru can pick them up some permatubes from Makro for tomorrows stagethe crossmarks are on special at CWC
Gen Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Any updates on the ladies.. I habe given up on the stream and twitter
