Andrei seems ok though? No fireworks, but riding ok? 

 

We will see when Nino opens the throttle .... 🤪

I timed the gap at +-2:30 at moment. Seems SCR not as strong today after yesterday's efforts. Spez and SCR cooperating to widen gap to Scott. Think SCR will try to get the stage win and Spez getting the overall.

Looks like a start of an enduro... Okes ready to start a climb stage

Is SCR conserving energy for a sprint finish ?

 

Playing the tactical game .... 🤪

Kim and Vera charging hard at the front, but where are Super Woman and Candice ?

I think it's been all too much for Amy and she just finally cracked. Totally understandable, after all she has been through this week.

Just a side note on her wheel/rim damage: having seen the footage of incident, this is a small technical error she made in my mind. Perhaps she was slightly unsighted by rider in front of her (Sophia or Kat?), but one should always try to jump any "depression"/gap/hole in trail, especially at speed to prevent impact of wheel/drive train.

I remember those trails they are riding now. Did a race there and had to ride those trails against a very strong South Easter. That day was not that much fun.

SCR on the attack with the last "flattish" stretch to the finish. Don't think they can get away much from Matt. Seems like maybe Chris isn't a big watt bomb on the flats, compared to the others. But am sure Matt will bring him back all the time. So still sticking with my prediction: SCR for stage win, Spez for overall title and Scott 2nd in GC. Let's see

Seems this way

Live stream and coverage slightly disappointing: very little visuals of Scott team, as well as ladies. Perfect overall conditions today for helicopters, e-bike coverage etc, so not sure why the production is a little off. We mainly see the lead group, which is fine but cutting to Scott/chasers as well as women should be done frequently in between. Areas for improvement

Final day a bit of an anti-climax compared to the rest of the week.

Especially seeing we thought it would be a cage fight. Ended up being a hamster wheel watch, but S-Works boys couldn’t care less. 🤣🤣🤣

My only ask is, mercy on Andrei.
