Mntboy Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 Alan Hatherly will be starting on the 2nd row on Sunday! Here's to hoping that he'll be able to repeat yesterday's result.

Here's to hoping that he'll be able to repeat yesterday's result.Did well considering he was caught behind marotte when he came off... 2nd row is good enought for a decent result.Looking forward to it!!!

So he recovered well and has given himself an opportunity to get another decent result out of this week. Like you I'm looking forward to Sunday!
tinmug Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 Pfp should get over herself. Evie beat her fair and square. pfp had enough room Watch the replay: a line of barriers a few meters down the line was in her way, she could not give Evie more room. Nino's sprint-and-cover Arevalo's front wheel looked a lot more aggressive (great save by Arevalo/acceptable). What's the etiquette in cycling: this sort of behaviour okay? MBMtbGirl 1
Red Bird Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 Pfp should get over herself. Evie beat her fair and square. pfp had enough roomJust pure adrenaline and frustration mixed together. Makes one unreasonable in the heat of the moment. Remember Sam Gaze ????????????

Evie hit the deck hard and still won. So I wouldn't be surprised if Ceylin also finds the step to elites to be a manageable one for her. As for Tom Pidcock, I'm very unsure as to how much leeway Ineos will give him. Especially when you consider how little leeway they have given Kwaitkowski imho.
Mntboy Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 Just pure adrenaline and frustration mixed together. Makes one unreasonable in the heat of the moment. Remember Sam Gaze [emoji12][emoji1589]A bunch of A type personalities as well. It usually gets sorted out quickly though. Evie and PFP were talking to each other shortly afterwards, so hopefully it's all good between them. DieselnDust and Red Bird 2

Chris_ Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 Pfp should get over herself. Evie beat her fair and square. pfp had enough roomThat race was a real chess match, I think pfp thought she could run it start to finish. And almost did. That last lap was awesome
'Dale Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) A few early season observations, cycling fans. Evie Richards's strategy to dominate the short track is very interesting. How she recovered from that crash in the final lap to still win the race was an incredible comeback. The shorter race suits her 'trackie style' of racing. Great to see Alan finding his way into the Elite space. He looks organised. He has extraordinary technical skills, now to refine his race craft and keep on believing. It is looking good for the former U23 World Champ. Lekka, lekka, my compatriot. The compressed calendar is like being a kid in a sweet store with unlimited pocket money, that is for the fan and viewer. It is one helluva rollercoaster of pain, tyre choice and tyre pressure debates, hotel rooms and intensity at many levels. It makes for an interesting performance challenge with the shorter turnaround time in scheduling, especially for the older riders who may struggle more with recovery, niggles, etc. I really think the UCI should look at a greater reward / recognition system for the overall winner, hey. 4 races, 4 debutants take the win. That is incredulous and so good for the sport. There is a surplus of confidence and audacity with the new generation of racers. The revised calendar and various forms of lock down preparation phases for the season is shaking up the status quo. A key question is whether El Nîno is able to retain the rainbow or are his superpowers fading? Pic credit: @UCI_MTB Edited October 3, 2020 by 'Dale NickGM, babse and DieselnDust 3
DJuice Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 What is the neon green sricker or plug visible on some of the bikes? First saw it on the Treks but notice now more team bike frames on the front end, were most cables will enter the frame.
