Odinson Posted June 29, 2017 Share Nope. It's been like that for teh past couple years. That berm on the exit is huge. True and some of the top okes have had some pretty sketchy moments in the past. Looking forward to Fearon hitting that bad boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capricorn Posted June 29, 2017 Share Also wondering about this. Maybe its a case of wheels for courses. Thing is when you look at the results this year and winning margins from previous years, there is absolutely no evidence that bigger wheels are faster or have changed the results. I always think of the old XC eliminator series - in its last year running with XCO, the second place finisher overall was on a 26er. Nino dominated XCO on 27.5. Graves has never done as well as he did on the 26" Yeti since switching wheel size. WC DH races were still being won on 26 when 27.5 was in the majority. So it goes on. Will be interesting to see how the bike engineers translate those misgivings into changes, or the team managers recommend further sessions on the change-management couch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiverInTheRoad Posted June 29, 2017 Share This course is so good it makes me nauseous. If a GoPro makes it steep that track is near vertical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think SC was maybe just first out of the door. Intense scratch built a new frame, and it's been coming along for a while now according to an interview I've read the other day.

stefmeister Posted June 30, 2017 Share https://www.pinkbike.com/news/timed-training-results-vallnord-dh-world-cup-2017.htmlPhil Atwill only 7th (+6.113s), why he no 1st on technical track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshot Posted June 30, 2017 Share This dude really is the kimi raikkonen of downhill mtb My wife watched that interview and said "his poor girlfriend"... Bryn Atkinson gave a far better explanation. So funny how the Commencal team were obviously told to extol the virtues of their new bikes at every opportunity only to ditch them a few weeks later.
