babse Posted July 4, 2021 Share Bladdy solid ride from Alan. Yarre that didn't look fun at all... Again MF looking a cut above the rest. Cink was never really catching him in my view. OVERDRIVE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the expense in travel and associated costs etc, not being on a factory team support setup, closeness to games and the potential for injury. It's very likely the option chosen is to stay at home and focus on prep ahead of the games. Any racing at this point wouldn't really add that much on balance.

Travelling in these times also carry a Covid-19 risk. Bubble-wrapping and risk management too. OVERDRIVE and Danger Dassie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this little spot down in the SE called Les Gets. Anyone heard of it? Small town, not much happens there OVERDRIVE and Danger Dassie 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is correct information and SA champs was also meant to happen, she can also get back to familiar surroundings, settle into routine and put quality training in instead of having to limit training load and be ready for races.

She looks ready to ROLL on the gram. Looking forward to the Olympics-if Loana's luck is anything like her national soccer team ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted July 5, 2021 Share The Tokyo course will suit Loana. It has a lot of elevation. Les Gets was a good prep as they added in several similar rock and wooden bridge and drop off features. I wish everyone participating the best possible luck and may the best athletes win Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
