Frosty Posted June 12, 2021 Posted June 12, 2021 That guy Daprela made most of it look so easy. Then Troy makes it look even easier. at split 2: RW: “he’s almost 2 sec down, Claudio” Claudio: “wow”. Hairy 1

I knew of Troy was under 2 at that split before the woods he could take it because of the mistake from that Frenchy. Troy is super consistent Just shows how competitive it is.. He hasn't won since 2017 and that's only his third win... He must have a stack of 2nds and 3rds Frosty and Jewbacca 2

Fastest in Quali, then over a second fastest on race day. Also stoked to see both 'lucky 1 race wonder' Rainbow Jerseys at the sharp end of the racing!

Last year was the first season since 2014 time he wasn't on the podium in the overall 2014 - 3rd 2015 - 3rd 2016 - 3rd 2017 - 2nd 2018 - 3rd 2019 - 3rd Impressive. Only Sam hill and Greg have achieved a run of 6 podiums Jewbacca and Hairy 2

Hairy Posted June 13, 2021 Author Posted June 13, 2021 Wonder if Gwinnnn is going to feature at all this season again.
Headshot Posted June 13, 2021 Posted June 13, 2021 That was a deserving win that had me cheering. He took it easier up top and had more gas for the bottom. Clever racing. Deprela is a bit too young but he will get there unless he breaks himself too many times along the way... Hairy and Stretch 2

Hairy Posted June 13, 2021 Author Posted June 13, 2021 I can't believe I have not watched this yet, Brook Macdonald what a Legend! https://www.redbull.com/za-en/films/the-road-back-brook-macdonald MrJacques 1
Bos Posted June 13, 2021 Posted June 13, 2021 All I can say is that was one hell of a first episode! That run of Daprela..he was so aggressive in that top half. I cant believe he stayed on... a name to be watched though! If he didn't stall in the woods he would have smoked everyone, although I am very happy for Troy. How can one not be. Theres a lot of hungry, fast French riders at the moment. Going to enjoy seeing the usual heroes trying to keep these talented young guns in check. Vergier and Vali was my fantasy league top pic. It wasn't my best.

Duane_Bosch Posted June 14, 2021 Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) Les Gets is going to be BONKERS in 2 weeks time. The odds of a non French winner are slim IMO. Social Distancing? Not so much. I want to go there again. Just ONE last time. Vir Oulaas. I'll send the chatel river gap this time. I promise. Edited June 14, 2021 by Duane_Bosch capediver, Eddy Gordo and ChrisF 2 1
