. A fantastic race today in tough, almost brutal conditions.

Agreed. That semi wet soil looked super sucky. Zero soft pedalling today - had to work every inch.

Most of them didn't need it though. Only PFP and Loana of the front runners were using the ramp probably to safe energy. Its there so why not

 

Great ride by Kata Blanca-Vas

One to keep an eye on. Has signed for the SD Worx team so hopefully she'll progress well in her various disciplines.

I have watched all the xco races this year, i honestly thought lecomte would pull away second lap and you never see her again. So happy for Neff, she almost wiped out bad on that drop off, no idea how she held that, full fork compression.

I agree, why even have it there? If it was for safety, then why remove it... surely safety would not reduced in exchange for nice video/photos right?

That said, what a mamparra not to make sure that you know what is coming.

They have the ramp in practice so that you can safely determine how fast you have to hit the take off to reach the landing. If you too slow, you land on the ramp without crashing.

He doesn't know whether Zwift has one or not....

Mate, I don’t know if you had the same Zwift advert over and over and over and over and over during the Tour. MvdP was on his Zwift more in those adverts than he was at the Tour.

I'm a big mvdp fan, but this is just tacky.

rocking up there late (saturday according to GdK) was not a good move in my books.

Take your losses like a man, don't go blame your team. Everyone else got the memo.

He wanted to race Rio, but didn't get the UCI points. this is going to burn a massive fire for him to do it in paris. Pidcock gets to rock up at mtb events and be olympic champ for 3 years now, all we need is Wout to decide he wants some of the action too

I looked at the replays again when he wiped out. At first i thought he took a different line, to the left, but looking at the slow mo's you can actually see he front wheel is down, hardly enough weight on the back, as if he thought there was a ramp. Still makes no sense, he saw the riders infront of him going over at speed, leaning back, front wheel up. Its still bad form form him to say what he said.

I saw some of her posts on twitter that seemed to have screenshots from intervals.icu. seems she may have used that to do some temperature analysis. if that's the case, then kudos to David Tinker!

David has received many accolades for intervals.icu. It's an awesome tool. Bye Bye FTP tests
