Nino looks ready to rip him a new one...

All those years of pent up neutrality. The Swiss are so quaintly cute when they’re angry. 🇨🇭 😘

Seriously ... can we not just accept that no matter what happens, MF is at fault ... he is a Ginger after all!

Seems Nino's luck ran out .... 

 

Would love to see a video from a spectator .... though I doubt it will show more than what we already heard .... "trail narrowed ... neither gave an inch"

if the trail narrowed they would've blocked it when they came together

 

However the other two were let past so it was probably a wide area with enough room to pass outside them.

 

I think MF blocked nino on A sharp corner as was done to him last year and nino thought he could ride through him..... couldn't.....they fell 

.... fumbled with bikes/cleats ....others went through

 

...the end 

 

The other two had to portage over them, according to the interviews.

They ran into each other and Flukinger basically took Nino out in the forest (this is coming from someone standing right there as it happened)

Has Nino asked him for a statement I wonder. If MF's riding was blatantly unsafe then perhaps Nino could get MF disqualified and take 3rd place. Small consolation.

This is info I also have but everyone wants the detail , especially on a tour rest day. 
from 14:00 it will be yesterdays news

some say Nino should have been more circumspect and compliant to get him in the sprint. But these two have issues with each other and it nearly got SA our first win in a decade so let them more each other I say
