Dry Biltong Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 Greg still mixing it with the young guns. Unbelievable. Defintely the GOAT !!
BaGearA Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 Nina is slowly turning into a Hype job , good in quali and then race day nothing happens and it's been quite a few races now
Stretch Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 Nina is slowly turning into a Hype job , good in quali and then race day nothing happens and it's been quite a few races nowGive her time to settle...a team behind her that coaches and guides her... She'll be winning in no time. Tahnee took years before she first won... And look at Finn today... Also young and reckless

MrJacques Posted August 11, 2019 Posted August 11, 2019 Greg still mixing it with the young guns. Unbelievable. Defintely the GOAT !! From a comment on PB: Amaury was 5 when Greg won his first WC and overall title
Capricorn Posted August 11, 2019 Posted August 11, 2019 Tracy needs to push harder to win. Cabirou might be a future champion in the next few years.well, Vali Holl spanked Cabirou's time by a not inconsiderate margin You. might have to reconsider your future champ choices a bit
BaGearA Posted August 11, 2019 Posted August 11, 2019 well, Vali Holl spanked Cabirou's time by a not inconsiderate margin You. might have to reconsider your future champ choices a bit Lenzerheide women vs junior women.jpgAFAIK the juniors got a dry track?
Capricorn Posted August 11, 2019 Posted August 11, 2019 AFAIK the juniors got a dry track?wasn't it misty/foggy early in the morning? that will make everything quite slippy.This is not the first time VH has been the fastest woman in any category.
Hairy Posted August 11, 2019 Author Posted August 11, 2019 wasn't it misty/foggy early in the morning? that will make everything quite slippy.This is not the first time VH has been the fastest woman in any category.VH said in an interview that the track was misty and it did rain a bit too.
ChrisF Posted August 11, 2019 Posted August 11, 2019 WOW ! Absolute respect to each and every competitor !!! Those conditions were downright SCARY !
Stretch Posted August 11, 2019 Posted August 11, 2019 well, Vali Holl spanked Cabirou's time by a not inconsiderate margin You. might have to reconsider your future champ choices a bit Lenzerheide women vs junior women.jpgI think Tracey has been riding very conservatively because she realises that this is her one and only shot at the overall. She better pull her finger out for the final round though else she might find her title gone. Realistically when the top 3 return we'll see the winning ladies time drop by quite a margin.
Eddy Gordo Posted August 11, 2019 Posted August 11, 2019 Junior Women1st. Vali Höll : 3:26.218 Elite Women1st. Tracey Hannah: 3:27.600 well, Vali Holl spanked Cabirou's time by a not inconsiderate margin You. might have to reconsider your future champ choices a bit Lenzerheide women vs junior women.jpg Definate trend here. Would she compete with elites next year?
MarcBurger Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 Yeah Vali will be a sick addition to the elites next year, it's all about continuously raising the bar within categories. However, once again you cannot compare times across events, especially in Lenzerheide this weekend. The track changed like 3 times within the elite men's event alone. A dry dusty Lenzerheide is rough. Slightly tacky from light rain and mist, great. Rainy and muddy, well we all saw how nuts that was. So amped for worlds! So many people committed to going for all or nothing
SwissVan Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 wasn't it misty/foggy early in the morning? that will make everything quite slippy.This is not the first time VH has been the fastest woman in any category. It was indeed foggy and wet for the ladiesTook this at the top from next to the start gate, just before the the mens elite DH started Spectators had to use a rope to get up / down in some sections, steep and slippery as hell, saw my arse a few times just walking down Chain saws revving and flares during the Mens DH Grey skies Further down the run the view was unrestricted
Capricorn Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 Definate trend here. Would she compete with elites next year? i think she is already competitive within the Elite ranks. What she however, will have to become accustomed to, is not being in P1 just by waking up. That's when we will get to see how she deals with racing peer pressure, and how much she still has left in the tank. If current form portends the future, then the Newkirks and Johnsets of this world are going to be consigned as running mid-pack for the rest of their careers: there's just nothing currently on show that hints at absurd racing speed, the likes necessary for duking it out with the current top 5 women in the world.
Stretch Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 As a slight deviation from this "holl" debate....... My daughter is insisting we go watch one world cup event next year (read as try and get a pic with Loic). My heart says fort William... But logistically and picturesquely Leogang seems like the better choice Given the choice.... What would you go for....Choices are.. Lousa PolandMariborLosinjBillVallnordMSALeogangVal do solLes Gets
