This is the thread for discussing real mountain bike riders, no lycra allowed Be Gone! ????

Good ladies race. So close at the end!

Looks like it's going to be a muddy one for the men.

Not on DSTV hey? Only Redbull TV?

[MrJacques]

Good race overall. Lots of sketchy moments!

[NotSoBigBen]

Really chuffed for Tahnee! Would not have minded if Pompon won though ????

Theo, Matt Lombardie and a few other saffers racing at the La Thuile Enduro this week.

Theo doing the best of the Saffers. Top spot is a very close fight between Rude and Moir. Less than a second between them after two stages...

There is talk of the next EWS season being live broadcast .... that would be great!

[Duane_Bosch]

It's official! Theo on the list for Hardline!!!

Maribor DH this weekend - Race is on Sunday.

Not the most exciting race overall. Impressive margin by the men's winner! (trying not to post spoilers in case anyone hasn't watched yet).

I didn't find it to be a very viewer friendly track, it was enjoyable enough though.

Great seeing Greg putting down a really nice run again.

Two weeks to World Champs!

I like that track - natural and as they kept saying, one where precision was key. GM got yet another podium and is lying third overall at age 39, an age at which most people would be retired or semi-retired.

I dunno hey. Were we watching the same race? I enjoyed this one more than most. The last 8 or so of the men were putting down some fast balls-to-the -wall runs and each one was outdoing the previous rider by some of the smallest margins. It was exciting to see.

And the women also had a stomping race. Everyone was expecting Holl to take her maiden win, but Pompon proved that she is not going to go down without a fight, and now her and Camille Balanche are tied on the points log with Tahnee and Valli also being within spitting distance from each other. The seasons are wide open and anyone's game. 

Monica Hrastnik taking the hot seat by 4 / 1000th of a second from Tahnee Seagrave was mental. Same with Laurie Greenland literally pipping Greg at the finish line by 8 /100's. Sad, but it was good racing.
