Eldron Posted October 20, 2021 Share Beers and Sarrou seem to be fading a tiny bit every day... Let's hope it isn't a trend/they're saving something for later/playing the strategy card. Beers for the win!!! DieselnDust and JohanDiv 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Trek Pirelli guy was hanging on for dear life the last 20km. Didn't even take his hand off the bars to high five his team mate across the line ????

I'm not entirely sure Minki remembers the moment of our chance meeting in the waiting room outside the MatieFM studio to be honest, but she's never denied it.

Nothing to cover there. The Men's race is quite exciting at this point. There in lies the difference. Deserving equla footage and pay is one thing from a equality of opportunity pov but whats actually happening in the race should govern where the focus goes in terms of maintaining spectator interest usual programming has resumed here. 10kms to go in the ladies stage and there's a ~2min gap. I don't think there's going to be much drama in the run in here. I'm not sure what the answer is, but more effort somehow needs to be made to not just have one team running away from it every year.

The helicopters need to be replaced by drones. Less annoying and intrusive. The Bulls media bicycle guys are awesome. They get close but don't seem to get in the way. Fantastic. Coverage for me is great. I love this race but just not worth the money. agree with most of the above except for the heli bit. Although I have a solution for the Heli that does involve drones the licensing for the equipment is a small challenge that requires money but it can be d(r)one. Needs to be tested. Two things about the presenter could improve: The hair and why the heck does she pull her jeans up so high!!???!!?? Why??!!? Seriously though she should wear a mask.

Looks like he's using a 120mm SID 35 Ultimate and not the Brained 32 SID. The rear shock has a Brain that's clear from all the tv footage and images Nick and Danger Dassie 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going through all the images from day 1 the brain is visible on the bike in a few images. You perhaps mean that they're not running the internal setup and routing?

Looks like it's just a different colourway to Sarrou's. Both have SID/Brain branding and look like they could be 120mm Edited October 20, 2021 by Danger Dassie DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
