DieselnDust Posted May 21, 2019 Share 26th position amongst the world best is nothing to sneeze at. He is there and thereabouts He had a puncture that required a wheel change. This was not uncommon as Henrique Avancini also had a puncture among other riders. Montecon was another and Florian Vogel. That's pretty esteemed company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted May 21, 2019 Share Let's see how A.H does in the next race.....for Ablestat he had a good position in the starting lineup (second row) ... was flipping awesome to see a SA jersey so close to the start, been has been sometime since the good days when Burry graced the racing scene!

kosmonooit Posted May 21, 2019 Share didn't realise that, at 34 is he even going for Tokyo 2020? Grotts there too, only Annika on the ladies team. https://www.uci.org/mountain-bike/teams/TeamDetail/11465/1001325/248 Howard was ill and missed his Epic title defense, but whats the latest news? Wasn't on the start list at Albstadt I can't see Yaro securing a spot for Tokyo against the likes of Cink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vogel had a puncture? Hell, that is a strong finish for a puncture. Respect. Lill did incredibly well to hold her start position to the finish. Hope she can get some strong sponsors for a full season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJacques Posted May 22, 2019 Share He had a puncture that required a wheel change. This was not uncommon as Henrique Avancini also had a puncture among other riders. Montecon was another and Florian Vogel. That's pretty esteemed company I don't understand how they manage to get punctures. Surely there aren't thorns there and they should be running tubeless to prevent pinch flats. Perhaps a sidewall cut, but not on that manicured course.

Ascension Posted May 22, 2019 Share I don't understand how they manage to get punctures. Surely there aren't thorns there and they should be running tubeless to prevent pinch flats. Perhaps a sidewall cut, but not on that manicured course. I think the mud change things, they brake and skid over rocks more and the bike is much more out of control making it more difficult to avoid rocks.

Ispeed_V Posted May 22, 2019 Share See Kulhavy has admitted to lack of form: It is, of course, the worst possible scenario for me, the UCI MTB World Cup: Nové Město na Moravě 2019 belongs among one of my peaks every year. But at this time my shape is somehow very bad, the chances of a decent result this year are slim to none and the fans do not deserve to see me race somewhere in the deep of the starting field. That's why I have decided to not compete in Nove Mesto this Sunday. Thank you for all your support in this tough time for me and hope you will enjoy the best race on circuit!

Ramrod Posted May 22, 2019 Share Nino shared some data https://www.instagram.com/p/BxuBLSgIpL_I saw those numbers. They are just insane for mere mortals like us. Hats off to the guys infront!!! I did ask myself the question, was he riding cautiously due to the conditions? If i am not mistaken there is XCO this coming weekend and the weekend after. Not worth ending yourself now and missing out on two other races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Alan you're the new no 1 Agree, I think the issue was there was not room for two #1's on the ladies team. I do hope they come right though although I am not a Spez fan as such.

Grease_Monkey Posted May 23, 2019 Share Spez lost out big time with KC leaving. Gaze is unreliable and Annika is getting on a bit.. Go Alan you're the new no 1Lost out big time. She is very likeable, well spoken, pretty, modest, knows how to leverage social media, got a solid fan base, and most importantly - a dam good cyclist. Basically every brand's dream ambassador. Pretty much a combination of Batty's appeal and Langvad and Neff's skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babse Posted May 23, 2019 Share KC really looked that much better than the rest last week... she has made a serious improvement on her overall game compared to the previous season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
