Jewbacca Posted July 26, 2021 Share Seems a bit contrary... I've worked on enough of these events to know that there would be something written in the race book or at a briefing which the cool kids almost never read/attend. There was some confusion at the 2012 Olympics at the BMX track and some guys nearly missed the start at the 2010 CommonWealth games if I remember correctly, due to some people not reading the race books or attending briefings. (Just cycling examples, many issues at aquatics and other venues too for the same reason). Underachiever, DieselnDust and Danger Dassie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirt Tracker Posted July 26, 2021 Share Seems like he thought the ramp was 'only removed for the test event' and not 'they removed it at the test event after the practice so logically they are going to do that now. How did your manger, team mate and everyone else know this????'. TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WR 1.0 Posted July 26, 2021 Share 2 hours ago, DieselnDust said: It appears that the Dutch have some serious communications issues. The teams were informed the pallet wouldn't be there for the race so I wonder if MVDP got the memo? Seems unlikely as he rode (as Eldron pointed out) like there was supposed to be a bridge there. Candice commented on Insta, that the bridge was going to be removed for the race. The Dutch is definitely not having a great cycling Olympics so far DieselnDust and Sydd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moe importantly he received all the pre-race briefing material and knew where the the bridges were going to be so we're not as kahk as advertised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
