Side note: It's interesting to see how the Elite's have all started to run a lot more seat post than in the past. Few years ago everyone slammed their posts, now, not so much.

Meaning "run a lot more seat post", less dropper posts being used?

 

Hou die rubber op die grond!

Could it be because the bikes are so slack?

most of the them have the top of the seattube lower or just in line with the top of the rear wheel

No. I mean that they are raising the seat post out of the frames more.

Yes she is fine - walked away from this one and another one on Lap 2 ....

 

I think she was with the lead group so was doing very well, then binned it twice ... so never really recovered from those and ended up 37th a lap down.

 

Still a good effort though

question from a relative noob.

 

Compared to the normal european ones we see, that DH track looks rather 'tame'. Not really that spectator friendly and dustier than a nun's fa..... Was it a rather controversial choice for the world's - read up on this, http://www.sbs.com.au/cyclingcentral/article/2017/06/02/smithfield-mtb-park-how-it-began-and-what-its-become

 

Cairns is also really far off the beaten track, can only imagine what the longhaul was for mechanics lugging stuff there.
