Headshot Posted September 2, 2019 Share Coverage was pretty poor. Donne by local broadcaster not RB. There were no cameras for quite a distance after the start until the first or second fast straight. That said, they did have some good coverage in the tech woods and captured the crashes there. The last 7 or so riders from Greg onwards was the cherry on the top. Those boys really let it hang out... Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it possible in this day and age to not be able to find decent knowledgeable commentators? I love that anyone that is running slow "must have a slow flat" and did you know that "if a chain is broken the suspension does not work anymore as it relies on chain tension to work properly" Just to name a few!

Odinson Posted September 2, 2019 Share It's crazy how the Frenchies (particularly Pierron last year) kicked off a nuclear arms race in elite men's DH. Guys are having to go 110% all the time just to have a prayer of keeping up. Something that really struck me last night is Bruni's body position on the bike. He'd hit massive braking bumps at mach chicken and there'd be barely any movement in his body. He holds position and the bike just does it's thing beneath him. He never seems to be wrestling with his bike. Duane_Bosch and Saag 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruni has always been smooth ..... and I would to call it ... said a few seasons back when he kept crashing out of just about every race that when he figures out how to go fast without crashing out he will be a champ Was hoping when he was switching teams (just before mating up with Spaz) that he would go with the Syndicate...him and Mr Min would have made for the smoothest riders out there.

Pity their shop guy looked at me like I was speaking alien when I asked for pricing on roval rims to replace my trashed versions. "Gotta phone H O" he said.

Rob got a few names wrong but generally it was up to scratch. Hairy and Stretch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Privateers and small teams' bike of choice. Would like to know what the best selling DH bike of the past few years is. The Supreme has to be up there.

Wonder what the YT DH bikes sales looked like while Gwin was on the bike vs what it is now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, I kid, I'd also buy one if I had the desire and cash for a DH bike. Duane_Bosch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
