Myles, I am sure you just forgot to use the font... or were you seriously giving Christoph Sauser pointers on his tyre selection for the Cape Epic??? :eek: :w00t:

A guy who does more mileage on these very trails in a week than you do in a year, at way higher speeds etc. Yes, they got a puncture, but wholly balls pal, he's probably put more thought into tyre selection for this event than most people put into choosing their wife. We did an article on him a few years back, he tested tyres for weeks over various tracks, checking time splits, durability etc - he's not just an animal on the bike, he's an OCD one off it too. He knows exactly what the tyres can handle, what their strengths are, their weaknesses, and he's weighed them all up and made a very informed choice.

 

We should just look on with respect and enjoy, these guys are not from this planet :thumbup:

Hehe

 

We the mighty we.... should just go back to watching the professionals and world champions and other serious epic repeat offenders do what they do.....

 

In other words enjoy the show and stop pretending

Damn. These athletes have my respect. To be going at it for that long/speeds, it is not in me....

 

P.s... why is everyone so pre-occupied with the skill levels of the riders??? It is a bloody (pun intended) marathon event, NOT enduro or XCO...

 

P.ss... Nino should realize that he must keep his line. He caused that crash in that short vid....

Is there a way to hide all the 'moaner' comments about the streaming, tracking etc? Of the 370 new comments since yesterday, there seems to be over 300 of them. Impossible to get a feel for the action with all the whinging going on in the background[emoji6]

Ahh the ironic moaning about moaning post [emoji1]

 

Just joking.

 

I'm actually a bit worried about the following few days. Tomorrow like today. Then rain forecasted after that.

 

Strength to all the riders!! Think how epic if you push through!

Some of the falls

Looks like the lady took the fall when she had her hand in her rear pocket...

 

Been there, done that. Just shows how brutal the conditions were today, pros risking crashes to eat etc.

Problem is that if you don't moan things don't change. Like today when the Epic live updates stopped reporting about the ladies race until someone reminded them on twitter :P

Bottom line is I stopped reading after moan post #100, turns out watching the SS highlights is more fun than trying to work through this fred ;)
