DieselnDust Posted May 8, 2022 Share 12 hours ago, J Wakefield said: Why is Mconnell suspicious? Cannondale had a 20yr old on the elite podium. Just is. Maybe it’s the her being thereabouts for ages and now she’s dropping the best in the world like they just learned to ride. It’s a remarkable turnaround and we’ve seen remarkable turnarounds that end in tears. maybe she’s changed her training regimen, new coach, better weights, better something. Whatever it is she’s a different rider for 4 straight races. Even Pauline asked where she got those really strong legs from and her response was kind of uncomfortable…. so nothing rational , just watching ,observing and letting thoughts flow PS: Was referring to the Cannondale men. Mona is brand new to the team so we'll see how her form progresses. Alan appears to have hit a plateau or maybe I'm just expecting too much too soon or maybe he's travelling too much. He came home after Brasil and then travelled to Europe so lets see how he goes in Nove Mesto na Morave. He'll win but it just seems like there's a gear missing at the moment or maybe its confidence? Henry appears to have gone backwards in the off season or has everyone else just stepped it up? I guess the same could be asked of Chris Blevins, afterall he won the last round of the '21 season Edited May 9, 2022 by DieselnDust Kom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brasil was similar conditions as Australia and she had the legs. And know she's confident. She's been on the podium for a couple of seasons and a few second places as well as 2 bronze medals in worlds kosmonooit, J Wakefield, DieselnDust and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It been a great season. We’ve all become race buddies so there’s lots of friendly and light hearted banter before the start. More importantly the wives end up being tech zone pals and forget which bottle they’re supposed to hand over lol Hairy and justinafrika 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted May 8, 2022 Share Hopefully XCO can take off properly in SA and especially WC. I was lucky enough to do a Single Speed Cat. XCO format once before, and that was a absolute blast! OVERDRIVE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XCO format once before, and that was a absolute blast! There’s a fun and e bike class trialled at the LaBorie XCO on Saturday. It looked to be quite popular. XCO is growing. The first races are usually well supported then it gets a bit more quiet as okes either lose interest or realise they won’t get enough points for provincial colours. The youth, jar and U23 to elite categories are well supported and growing Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
