Duane_Bosch Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Sometimes when I am having a bad day, I go to rugby365 and read the comments there and it brightens up my day immensely.I like to go look at Cass Colliers Facebook page. Makes me feel a lot better about my life choices. We used to be on team Zero wetsuits together.
Headshot Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 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. It was Frixtalon I believe. he broke his wrist and didn't race.
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.

MrJacques Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 She's looking a bit like she's trying to make it as a pro at pie eating She actually looks like she's lost a bit of weight since last season, at least in the latest WynTV from Lousa. Fastest in timed training as well. And from that interview it doesn't sound like she'll be doing EWS because she doesn't like uphills. Hairy and Headshot 2

As much as I hate saying, Gwin could be a rider to watch for a solid podium or potential win. The we all know any Frenchie who has been on a DH bike for longer than 30min also stands a good chance of the win. Duane_Bosch 1
Headshot Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 M Nicole is on pole for the race tomorrow with Tracey in Second, Tahnee in third and M Cabirou, 4th.

Stretch Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 This track is a classic example of not needing a massive rock garden to make a really good track. It is wild, rutted and steep in places - really looking forward to the racing Hairy and Headshot 2
