Any entries up for sale? :ph34r: :eek: :whistling: :whistling:

 

 

Is that a lift/bathroom selfie? I thought the hub disapproves of people who post those to inflate their egos? Just checking.....[emoji48]

Damn! For a moment I hoped that she might be Ariane's partner for the epic

They're pretty much managed by the bike brand they roll with

 

Is it confirmed that Langvad won't be in the chute?

Yip! Ariane said she will be announcing her partner soon. It looks like the organisers are trying to spread the contention field. Guess that is the reason Jenny and Robyn are also not pairing up for epic. Good call (for a change)

Did I see right that Robyn and Sabine are pairing up? Edited by Gen

Have you done many stage races before?

 

“No – it’s my first mountain bike stage race.”

 

Seriously tho hope she doesn't bomb out in the first few days!

Agreed, I'll be devastated!

 

I'm going to watch it live so I can propose to her.....

Yup its a totally different game to XC, but I am sure she is getting good advice. Fellow team member and Olympian Gold Medallist Nino is also in right? And he has done it all before.

 

But looking back at last year, our ladies World Champ burnt one too many of her matches at the Epic, if could be said. I think she is still licking her wounds after she bombed out badly towards the end of the season

 

Just in case you missed it:

You will have to get through me first and that will not be easy, CO2 knife an all.

There will be a queue anyway and you will certainly not be allowed to jump the gun, so to speak.

 

jeez chaps, have mercy on her delicate little soul.

Rissveds may look like a 14 year old but she'll kick some seriaas butt

 

Olympic gold and rainbow colours in any format of cycling - seriaaas engine under the bonnet and the will power of note

You see, coming from a converted roadie.  What's not to like about her?

Think she is doing this more as a recce ride for next year's Epic, which is probably why she is doing it with her coach.
