Kranswurm Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 She should not have tried ot pass him there period. It was risky. She took the risk and failed.He lost it and took Mariske out...simple as that .Accident but he should have checked if she was ok and apologised on the spot.Poepol of note
Thermophage Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 he hit the brakes because he realised that he doesn't have the talent. Has nothing to do with taking a risk in over taking. Get the male bias out of your visionLooool, I was not expecting to laugh on a Sat morning quite like that. Nobody is disputing that he took her out. But it is NOT his fault for falling or not having eyes in the back of his head. The rider approaching from behind is responsible for picking a safe time to overtake and/or warning the rider they are approaching. Don't come with your feminazi poo and try to read gender bias into anything. If I rode into the back of someone like that I would be at fault. period. She should have picked a more suitable time and place to overtake.
Christie Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 She should not have tried ot pass him there period. It was risky. She took the risk and failed.There is one line down, with few places to pass. There are a few places with obstacles that give B and sometimes C options - such as that one. Not overtaking there could result in being stuck behind a slow rider for long. She was probably held up for a while before that point. Racing incident, imo, no blame re. the crash.The replays showing on TV does make the nobody look like a chop for getting up and riding on without a backward glance after taking out one of the lady contenders, though.
tinmug Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 The UCI XC folks should read BH posts for some tips.

Gen Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Unfortunate for Trek with that fall and mechanical.. but 7c whatever they are called got a great stage win. Riders starting to look very tired...puffy eyes in the morning and def less chatty after the stage. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

The Bull Shark Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Looking at that fall. We all who rode on Simonsberg before know about those hard pack off camber turns. And the endless water erosion ruts.
Gen Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 I reckon it would be a hoot to sit around a camp fire with Hermida.. did i hear him correctly when he said the WP are the most critical points because you just want to spend a lot of time there..(or something along those lines)..

Milkman Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Natalia Fisher from the MMR mixed team is sucking a lot of wheel there behind Team summit . Is that allowed ?I thought each cat races their own race and are not allowed to influence or get help from another cat ?

Gen Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Anna had a good day today..all smiles after the stage again. Put the hammer down early I really really hope she has had a nice time and goes back and tells all the ladies that it is awesome so that we see more elite ladies come and do it and see the elite ladies field grow.... not sure what the prize money is..but it has been very good in the past. Perhaps when the lot over in europe start seeing more pro road ladies opt for the Epic and not their races they may just do something about their prize money. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
PhilipV Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 We watched the start this morning. The UCI bunch was klapping it before they even got off the field onto the gravel road. The next batches were definitely slower off the field. The hunger for glory is still strong in front.

It doesn't change that fact that her crash was her fault though Or rather, not his fault. Either way
Gen Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 These two are so so good for the event. https://twitter.com/XylonVE/status/1109365005605060608?s=19 Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
