Nah - they do stuff like that just to spite the Dutch ???? geomark, DieselnDust and RustyHWR 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van Der Poel is going to need some thick skin to live this one down. Headshot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dutch didn't participate in WWII officially. So the kamikaze is a about 80 years too late ???? Mountain Bru 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully not culling but maybe that's what the Dutch BMXer was practicing? TNT1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Wakefield Posted July 27, 2021 Share It is / was run like a normal xc with lapped riders being pulled. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got my timing totally wrong and switched on just in time to see that. Missed the whole bloody race! Nice for Jolanda! Long recovery road since her big injury a while ago.

DieselnDust Posted July 27, 2021 Share 24th for Candice 10min 34 down. Good going to come in ahead of Eva Lechner Yolanda road like her old self today. Looked so comfortable and confident through the rock gardens. The French ladies spent too much time and energy during the first two laps racing each other releasing Yolandie. She didn't even need the ramp. MVDP should take some lessons from her. <Lapped riders getted pulled form the course at the end of the lap> Vetplant, Headshot and RustyHWR 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted July 27, 2021 Share The Swiss leader spent 7 weeks training on the course before the Olympics was postponed. Dialled it in. ???? Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only PFP and Loana of the front runners were using the ramp probably to safe energy.

Mntboy Posted July 27, 2021 Share What a race by the Swiss ladies. A clean sweep of the podium and very well deserved. Just loved the way the ladies came to congratulate Jolanda as soon as they crossed the line, shows in what regard she's held by the others. A fantastic race today in tough, almost brutal conditions.
