Headshot Posted June 2, 2019 Share One of the best races at FW for a while I reckon. Down to the wire. Capricorn and Ramrod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capricorn Posted June 2, 2019 Share Bruni's mega ejection during qualifying. [edit] vid link was ejected by FB/RB . Can find it at 05:05 in the race replay on redbull.tv a little more elevation and the UCI might make parachutes mandatory..

Eddy Gordo Posted June 2, 2019 Share Finn's face: pure incredulity at Pierron's time. gutted for Troy and Loris two of my fave riders. But peerless Pierron absolutely crushed it today. What a champ! I love the way Pierron rides, as well as Finn! DieselnDust and Capricorn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmonooit Posted June 3, 2019 Share nope. i am with you on that one. Dont know if it is her voice or the hair! Who really cares whether you or anyone else thinks she is 'hot' - she is a great sportsperson, achieved a hell of a lot in the sport even at her tender young age, she is clever, gregarious and generous in spirit and a great asset to the sport. I think all round she is a beautiful person and to reduce the discussion to her sex appeal to you or anyone else is quite frankly an insult to her and to women athletes in general.

Odinson Posted June 3, 2019 Share I shouldn't have been so negative about Ft. Bill. That was some absolutely amazing racing. Even with a weakened ladies field, it was fun to see some of the lesser known racers having a crack at the podium. Gwin's dumpster fire of a season rages on and with back to back races, I'm not sure he'll be able to get a good result at Leogang. The bean counters at Intense must be sweating bullets: Gwin having a nightmare season thus far, Mullaly just kind of there and Moir not being able to find his pre-injury mojo he had a while back. Solid racing from two of the Pivot boys: Kerr and Masters. Pierron back to speed and decimating the locals. Vergier due another win very soon. At this rate, we'll see the season being battled out by the three young Frenchman. Hoping Hannah or Cabirou can snatch a win this weekend at Leogang.

I'm not a fan of Mr.Min so seeing him bumped off the podium had that warm fuzzy feeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odinson Posted June 3, 2019 Share Had a terrible fantasy round. Banked to heavily on the Brit boys and chose a stacked men's field and a cheapo ladies selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't believe all the crashes! Must have had some big holes in that top section. The mens race had 3 types of riders.. The first bunch that clearly focused on getting to the bottom in one piece, then the second bunch who were keeping the Ave speed up riding smooth and didnt look like they were risking to much, Vergier being the best of these and then Troy and Pierron, who were the only guys looking like they were attacking. Vergier was my top FL pick, but I couldn't help but shout, "pedal"!! Like he was riding conservatively? I know sometimes smooth looks slow but it was like he was just trying to get to the bottom to get some points on the board. But then, although I said that he was 0.1sec off Troys time looking like he was hardly trying.. Capricorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted June 3, 2019 Share The top section of the course is very slippery when wet. Lots of slate and white clay that's very firm under the top layer. Very easy for the front wheel to push and then hit something which is what I suspect happened to Gwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then, although I said that he was 0.1sec off Troys time looking like he was hardly trying.. i was thinking the same thing: Vergier looked too composed. When they going to have trackside or pitlane comms to help them judge their pace better? How was that little post race discussion between Pierron and Vergier?

I'll wait for Gwin to tell us what happened.

This was evident later on when he was trying to see the footage taken. Wonder if it was a old prototype tyre or rim that his poor mechanic accidentally fitted to his race bike Headshot, tinmug, RustyHWR and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
