Jbr Posted July 26, 2021 Share Well I had 2 out 3, not sure where that spanish guy came from, would have loved to see Koretsky on the 3rd step ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmonooit Posted July 26, 2021 Share Wowza ... Tom really bossed that! Exceptional talent, and a great sportsperson. MF was next best for sure. So Gerald made it to the gig for commentary, what a relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Bru Posted July 26, 2021 Share Seems there's some drama about the MVDP crash... Apparently there were was a wooden ramp at that jump in training, but they removed it for the last practice session. MVDP was apparently expecting it and so wasn't prepared for the jump. If that's true, it's pretty poor from MVDP considering everyone seemed to know what was coming. Not been a good 2 days for Dutch cycling.

Jewbacca Posted July 26, 2021 Share That rock drop is massive. It is bigger than most features we find on our DH tracks here. Having watched some of the ladies struggle with Coetzenberg and the PMB rocks, this course might have a big say in the outcome of the ladies' race tomorrow Danger Dassie, Dirt Tracker, TheoG and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is interesting, the way it looked to me watching live was that it seemed he did not carry enough speed at all. I saw on Cadence last week that Candice was training over and over, every day, on a similar massive drop, so it must be this one. As i said, this is really hectic for the ladies, hope none of them wipe out. Still makes no sense as you said that mvdp did not know this drop was coming. But as i said, he looked wat to slow at the top, like completely unexpected.... Vetplant, Eldron and justinafrika 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FootballingCyclist Posted July 26, 2021 Share Watched a video now where Alan says it was 30degrees and 80% humidity out there on the course, at the start he was pushed left onto the grass and was placing 30 something, Also says it was extremely dusty so was tough at the start riding behind guys eating dust.
