UCI DH World Cup 2019 Season

[Capricorn]

Apparently had a major off during practice and it then took 3 hours to air lift him off the hill. In for surgery apparently. All on IG - his and Pinkbikes’s latest posts.

 

that story is an emergency response time nightmare.. almost 4 hrs!

 

 

 

Those on the scene said it was a really heavy crash and that Brook was in a lot of pain and couldn't feel his legs. His crash happened around 12:05, a helicopter was called at 12:43 by one of the two doctors on site, and he was evacuated almost four hours after the incident happened. By the time he was air-lifted he reportedly did have some feeling in his legs. MS Mondraker has since said that Brook has fractured two vertebrae and he will undergo surgery soon.

Was brooke wearing back protection? Should the UCI make it mandatory in DH? Currently, AFAIK,it's only country specific, eg France.

 

edit: vital raw #2 suggests he and others are wearing varying degrees of back coverage.One can see an outline of it, with some ending higher up on the back than others.

Is the level of protection sufficient, or was Brooke's crash just that bad, ie, beyond the capability of reasonable levels of back protection.?

Anyone found a channel that is featuring the races that works with Getflix?

Try Windscribe for a VPN go around. I loaded it on my PC yesterday and it worked great for the XC. 10gig PM free.

They had Jose Hermida commentating with Warner.

 

Check Ben Deakins latest video for a bit of Theo practsing a massive Minnaar gap and the drop where Brook and Wilson crashed.

 

You can damage your spine compressing it from above ot below or hitting your back. A back protector works for the latter not the former. Hope Brook pulls through without any spinal column damage.

Damn, no coverage on ss yet

I just do not understand why it is geo protected if I can't even view it (yet) on dstv?

I did say or crash. Which is exactly what he did in Qualies.

ok, to be fair, you think he will beat the junior men's winning time?
