What a ladies race!

Very exciting, not a one horse race.

Only 2 riders rode a Fest Event and a World Cup this year. One was Brendog. Name the other.

 

You're going to be Surprised.

Nope.

 

Capricorn is right. Our very own Theo Erlangsen (middle). Current SA Champ too. I took this pic but I don't remember taking it. We were somewhat Inebriated by this point. Brendog on the right. Johno Jones is the guy in the goggles.

Theo considering Rampage? when last we have local representation there?

[Headshot]

That was an amazing race but perhaps not as amazing as the women's XCO (cant believe I'm saying this)

 

The XCO had elements of 4x in it when the girls were neck and neck down the gnarliest feature, lead changed a couple of times a lap and Neff rode back to win from 2 punctures. And graciously blamed herself for running too low pressure in her "mud tyres" . There was also a bit of argy bargy between Batty and Annika on the last lap. I reckon they maybe won't be on speaking terms anymore...

A solid hypothesis.

@Nigel & Myles.

 

A while back you two got all up in my grill coz I felt that World Cups should be where the bikers are (Bikeparks) and that jeep uplifts are stupid and remove some the aspirational element of World Cups.

 

Aaaaaaaand Fast Forward to 2018. 

 

There's talk of a WC in Morzine next year

There's talk of one in Whistler soon.

 

Leogang is a bikepark

VDS is a bikepark

Valnord is a bikepark

La Bresse is a bikepark

MSA is a Bikepark

So is Lenzerheide.
