Nick Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Any idea if that crash is before or after qualifiers? And I wonder what Gwin messaged him about

JasonS Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 No idea. But pretty cryptic from Gwin...sounds panicked Any idea if that crash is before or after qualifiers? And I wonder what Gwin messaged him about

The bike hit a rock and split Bike broke when it hit a wooden post. As you say, bike hit a rock, lost traction, then grabbed again and ejected him stage left, OTB and then the bike hit the post side-on, at the weakest spot of the frame in a place that isn't designed for that sort of impact. Another vid of it will be up from the same guy who did that walk and analysis - Ben Cathro.

I think it just hit the deck at the right angle to slip in that dust, pretty much the same way Eleonora Farini slipped out in the next few frames. Either way, he is lucky he didn't break his legs what with them all tangled up in the frame like that during the crash.
Capricorn Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Hannah putting some margins into the ladies. She's been quietly looking very very potent this year, but that proto-magic seems to having a very positive effect. She looks composed from the few clips of her during practice, very Rachel-like.

Agreed that the soft dirt after didn't help, but I could swear the rock caused it. Ah - no - you're right, and I was right as well, initially. Here's a screen grab. No deflection from the rock. Must have been when he landed.
Capricorn Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 oh and Stefan Garlicki qualified in 28th place! damn impressive from SG.

Stretch Posted August 26, 2017 Author Posted August 26, 2017 That guy has big balls.. To get off that bike after that and then qualify second.. Holy balls
