Pierron would've made it if it wasn't for the grassy turn at the end.[emoji54]

Well done Martin Maes! What a ride in the wet!

So from the commentary I understand that it is better to ride while it's raining (water vs mud) than when the rain stops (mud vs mud)

The enduro dude is doing some schooling here!

 

" ...it was the spirit of enduro..."

" ... was nice to beat the DH boys at their own game..."

I was sitting at my local while watching. It's possible. The rain might've, and I stress might've, kept the mud loose whereas when it stopped raining it would've started to slowly congeal and become harder to plow through. That said Maes had to keep it upright and moving to get a strong time and it's a credit to skills that he won.

Jeepers. Holl's time would have placed her THIRD today in elite womens. 

Justsayin..

Continuous rain washes mud off roots and rocks, and keeps the soil from clumping. Less clog in them tyres: better grip, less mass on the wheel and frame.

 

Very first, light rains are the worst. Turns just about any track into a skidpan.

Tell me about it!.. Although the course was perfect for him...I also think that section where he destroyed everyone was because he did it in the rain

Rob Walnut stooped to a new low today.... "fell like an old women"

I had a good chuckle at: 'Switch off your TV if you are allergic to nuts, here comes Danny Hart'

I'm probably in the minority here but I don't find him funny. Oafish and uniformed yes, even offensive at times, and unable to come to terms with the Metric system. 

 

If he stuck to the downhill commentary it wouldn't be so bad, now we have to listen to him blag his way through the XC events again tomorrow. Pity my French or German is non-existent. Guess I could just mute.

Let me put it this way Kosmo I only missed being able to hear Claudio commentate. Warner is a heck of lot like having to listen to the majority of the SABC cricket commentators.

He's a bit of an institution. When you've been listening to him for close on 15 years you realise he reuses a lot of his sayings. To be honest I'm impartial...I don't really care. I actually think they are both getting a bit dull now to be honest.

 

Robs high 5 with Rachel cos she listened to Biggy was super cringey though.. Like this dad trying to fit in with his daughter's friends
