MrJacques Posted July 6, 2019 Posted July 6, 2019 Insane that there’s 3 minutes of track we don’t see on the live feed Yeah, that sucks big time. The track is so dry, dusty and slippery!
Eddy Gordo Posted July 6, 2019 Posted July 6, 2019 Tracey had a video of that on her story... It was quite a mean crash he hit that tree side on and got rag dolled off it.. Got up and grabbed his bike and carried on. Hectic, and the bike also survived!
Eddy Gordo Posted July 6, 2019 Posted July 6, 2019 Damn, just switched on redbull and just missed Rachels run. THought it was starting later. Thank goodness for redbultv
Knersboy Posted July 6, 2019 Posted July 6, 2019 The downhill gods are protecting Greg’s win record, Gwin is out.
MrJacques Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 my heart desires Loris for the men's winner, and head says Rachel for the ladies.form book suggests Loic, Troy and Pierron, for the mens, and Rachel or Tracey for the ladies. The rest are chasing tail-end of the podium.Nina or Cabirou for 3rd. But i think the latter has the edge in that little battle. IMO even though Bruni won, Loris had a much better run in the bottom section, gaining time where Bruni lost time. A great race overall.
Stretch Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 IMO even though Bruni won, Loris had a much better run in the bottom section, gaining time where Bruni lost time. A great race overall.I was really bleak that loris didn't win.. He really deserved it... Was a great run loic knew his time too... Not sure if that helped him
Rigardt@Scott Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 I was really bleak that loris didn't win.. He really deserved it... Was a great run loic knew his time too... Not sure if that helped himNot sure it does help, it's not like you can look down at your segments during a race run. At this level the okes go 110% for 100% if they want to win. I don't think there is such a thing as a conservative run that gets on the podium anymore.
Rigardt@Scott Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 Maybe conservative is the wrong word but I think there are tracks where okes see that if you save energy up top and gooi at the bottom you will come out on topFor sure, but I don't think seeing someone else's time helps - just because everyone is going as fast as the possibly can already (on the course as a whole that is).
MrJacques Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 Maybe conservative is the wrong word but I think there are tracks where okes see that if you save energy up top and gooi at the bottom you will come out on top And then Loic goes and does the opposite
Hairy Posted July 7, 2019 Author Posted July 7, 2019 And then Loic goes and does the opposite There is a good reason Brrruuunnniiii came down last, because he is just damned well fast
anybody seen george? Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 What is in the frenchies water? Geez they are storming!

Odinson Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 Man, what a race! These Frenchies are raising the game and the rest of the field are left scratching their heads as to how to keep up. It seems like the only non-French riders who can consistently compete for a spot on the podium is Brosnan and Hart. I had my jaw hanging on the floor when I saw Vergier put five seconds into the hot seat time and then to have Bruni go even one better. Solid race in the ladies too. Atherton kept in cool 'n collected and took the top spot for that. Hoffman went bananas and had the most entertaining run. Really hoping Cabirou can take a win this season. Bring on Les Gets!
Headshot Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 That was the DH race of the year, perhaps even the last 5 years. I'm starting to feel sorry for AG, which means he must be having a really bad time of it. Greg was a bit disappointing. His super controlled approach works sometimes, but as LV, TB and Super Bruni showed, you have to get onto the edge and risk it on a track like this...

His super controlled approach works sometimes, but as LV, TB and Super Bruni showed, you have to get onto the edge and risk it on a track like this... ya hey. all these proto bits on his bike make for great clickbait, but seems he is going backwards. He seemed to do better on smaller wheels and frames Less facetiously, he was doing better when he wasn't mucking about as much. Unless that pretty brunette is causing a shift in focus.and is Tracey Hannah preggars?
