For those commenting on the Fumic incident.

 

No doubt he got switched but the weird head swing/butt thing still confuses me!

 

Edit: Reminds me of this one:

Split second reaction to try avert/mitigate collision and keep balance etc....??!

If you've never been in that specific situation it is hard to explain/understand.

Also from the Instafeed....a lot of ppl commenting who probably have never ridden a bike in competition or understand the situation. I don't get how ppl just see and think their own thoughts without looking at all angles. What possible gain/advantage/strategy would Fumic be attempting here????

Maybe some feedback from Jeremiah would give more clarity on overall situation. Let's see if he enters the fray...

Just a weird chain of events I reckon - Fumic gets switched then veers off into Bishop.

 

Yeah - therre is zero reason for Fumic to intentionally take out Bishop -they were miles behind at that stage.

 

The only thing that was a bit dodgy was Fumic not even squeezing out a quick "sorry man".

Ja but Fumic was k@king off the whole day just trying to stay in contact. I think at that stage the brain was in off mode and it was just react, get up and try and go. If anything was going on in his head it would have been Fk, Fk, Fk!!! How do I get back from this.

 

No harm no foul, they probably resolved the issue offline later.

Huh? Can't imagine selling 100 entries for THE high profile mtb event in a few seconds is suspicious?

 

get the epic to produce the list of 100 entries, they probably cant

 

its to create a hype, and it works year in year out

I managed to get an early-bird, more just to try my luck, tried to beg, borrow or steal the R82900 but nobody was willing to do it at such short notice.

Funny thing, they say you have till 9am on the 27th to pay, the invitation says it expires on the 28th. Just checked and it's still there for me to fill in and pay!

Anybody keen to lend me money?
