Bos Posted October 19, 2020 Posted October 19, 2020 I saw a lot of comments complaining about the coverage of the Worlds by RB TV, some of it justified. Now, watching the stream replay last night I saw and heard R and C going on about "the gap" and whether it was faster or not and who would do it. The TV camera was so badly placed it didn't really show the gap, the steepness of the track before it or how gnarly the gap actually was. The Vital video does however and is worth a watch. With almost every race you need to watch all the videos that come out of the event to get a complete picture... Oh my ! Who is that that went OTB? He only had a proper slam! The timing of that was also pretty critical and must have made it even harder.. Not easy to send a short kicker like that at 45km/h.. will pitch you OTB in no time.
Eddy Gordo Posted October 19, 2020 Posted October 19, 2020 Did you see cathros live Instagram at the end of final practice on Sunday. He was at that triple. It was very interesting to see.. From the approach right through to the end of it. My take on Sunday was this1. If you weren't green at the first split.. There was no chance of catching it back2. If you didn't jump the triple.. You weren't going to win https://youtu.be/3YboXuODd4c This one?

Makes me feel a lot better about my life choices. We used to be on team Zero wetsuits together.

MrJacques Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) Tracey Hannah won't be racing DH World Cups next year, retiring from the UCI DH circuit. I'm guessing (and hoping) she might do things like EWS? https://www.pinkbike.com/news/tracey-hannah-will-stop-racing-uci-world-cups-and-sets-new-goals.html Have to wonder how long Mick will still race?

Duane_Bosch Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 she might do things like EWS? She's looking a bit like she's trying to make it as a pro at pie eating
MrJacques Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 She's looking a bit like she's trying to make it as a pro at pie eating She does seem to have picked up a bit of weight the last two years or so. But it's DH racing, gravity helps

Headshot Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 She's looking a bit like she's trying to make it as a pro at pie eatingI thought she was looking a bit leaner when the racing started with Crankworx this year. I wonder if we will see Rachel back in the races next year?
Headshot Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 Im looking forward to this one because the track is new and different - a bit longer, nice variation. Maybe a track for GM to excel on. Eddy Gordo 1

Maybe a track for GM to excel on. The Fox and SC guys have been testing on this track (or some variation of it) for quite some time. *Edit. sorry meant to add that GM might have a bit of an advantage on it.
