Headshot Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 10 hours ago, Mountain Bru said: Neff is maybe justified in being annoyed if PFP braked super hard before the drop. It's probably the worst place for someone to brake in front of you if you're trying to carry speed and not just roll down the ramp. And at the front of the race on lap 1, I don't think you'd expect the person in front of you to be slowing down for the drop. The men all just cruised over it at speed on lap 1 until MVDP came along. And I think PFP has a wrong perception of what happened when she was overtaken though. Neff was miles from her on a completely different line and left a gap for her on the little uphill kick. Looks more like PFP made a mistake and went a bit off the course, or pulled her front brake and lost the front a bit. Either way, her comments look more like sour grapes to me than anything else. Things happen fast though, so maybe she hasn't seen the replay and just knows how she felt when it happened. Spot on Bru!

I would imagine on those rocks, with some dirt still stuck to your tyres, it doesn't take much to break traction. Body weight being too far back and upright, you'd struggle to make any correction then.
lechatnoir Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 I see that TT riders have radio earpieces. Seems a little inconsistent with the road race debates raging on Vetplant 1

Certainly Yo!anda did not get in the way. justinafrika 1
Vetplant Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 Gee not on a good day. 58s down Dennis right in the hunt with Roglic and TomD
Vetplant Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 5 riders within 15s at the halfway mark Roglic, Dennis, TomD, Kung, WvA (My order isn't correct) Epic final lap incoming

Some nail biting stuff here. Asgreen & Roglic overtakig each other, TomD emptying out the tank (and some food), Ganna flying like a mad man on course that's not ideally suited for him Vetplant 1

Vetplant Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 Tom sets the benchmark. What can the others do...?
