T-Bob Posted April 22, 2018 Posted April 22, 2018 Its starting to piss me off.Tyres letting him down once again. and he's on his own tyre model this year!
Odinson Posted April 23, 2018 Posted April 23, 2018 Killer, killer run by Pompon! So stoked for her! Beat the rest of the field fair 'n square. Was visibly faster than the rest of the Women. So cringy that Minnaar flatted on his brand new Assegaai tyres that's been touted this past week.

Was visibly faster than the rest of the Women. .She was indeed. Don't know what it is... But she's rubbing me the wrong way of late. Not sure if it's being the ladies UCI representative... Or just a small bit of ego creeping in
Stretch Posted April 23, 2018 Posted April 23, 2018 As for thenew rules about protected top 10. I don't mind it... But if you make fastest quali and you are out the top 10 and top 10.. Then you should still have the privelidge of starting last

lechatnoir Posted April 23, 2018 Posted April 23, 2018 Its starting to piss me off.Tyres letting him down once again. Those new Assegai's? That's quite some USP they have there...

NicoBoshoff Posted April 23, 2018 Posted April 23, 2018 Am I the only one that thought Gwinn looked like he was pedaling uphill through the urban section? Just a big gear or issues with derailleur? He lost a lot of time there.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 23, 2018 Posted April 23, 2018 Am I the only one that thought Gwinn looked like he was pedaling uphill through the urban section? Just a big gear or issues with derailleur? He lost a lot of time there.Yeah, and he's certainly not the slowest pedaller...
ChUkKy Posted April 23, 2018 Posted April 23, 2018 Awesome venue based on a scenery perspective.Other than that I thought its a real shitty course.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 23, 2018 Posted April 23, 2018 Awesome venue based on a scenery perspective.Other than that I thought its a real shitty course.I thought it was brilliant. ROCKY AF, technical as hell and very very easy to get wrong.
Stretch Posted April 23, 2018 Posted April 23, 2018 I thought it was brilliant. ROCKY AF, technical as hell and very very easy to get wrong.Got to agree. There was not one pro that I saw that moaned about it. Even Brendon F had nothing to say and he's normally winging like a 2 year old. Ask bulldog or tracey if they thought it wasn't a proper course. We saw multiple lines..gnarley crashes and on the edge riding..I was entertained alright
ChUkKy Posted April 23, 2018 Posted April 23, 2018 I thought it was brilliant. ok at best. ROCKY AF, technical as hell and very very easy to get wrong. Kind of agree but its too short and not steep enough, too pedally.
Headshot Posted April 23, 2018 Posted April 23, 2018 Kind of agree but its too short and not steep enough, too pedally. Ya, I agree. I did enjoy the race and the venue - its beautiful, and the rocks made it a memorable event, but to me its way too short and the last bit after the rocks was just dull. Gwin really showed his class - he nailed the rocks beautifully. What was I saying about Greg and his cursed flimsy 29er wheel/tyres? :-) Cant quite work out what Bulldog did - looked like a rookie mistake.
