Keen to hear more details if anyone has. Beers at 20th is obviously a disappoint for him unless hit with technicals!?

Respect to Lill. Excellent result 👏

Imagine releasing your new bike today thinking your guy will win and all people see is a white Canyon and the most beautiful podium possible 🥰🥰

I don't know but I was following the live timing and it looked like she could have won it. Pity they has zero coverage of the marathon. The only blight on what has been an excellent world champs thus far

I saw an Insta story with Candice after the race, where she said she had no idea that Mona was that close, I think if she did she might have completely buried herself to catch her.

She fell back but then was closing in the final, but you don't know if Mittewilllner was slacking off too. Pity she didn't get info/encouragement from (team/spectators) on the gap at least?

Sjoe, would have been great to get a World Champs jersey on local shores. Well done Candice!

Full DH replays available on Tiz. The commentary pairing of Rick and Neil was pretty good. Neil is so much better than Cedric. 

I think there will be a highlights vid for the marathon but I agree - pretty poor there was no live show at all. The so-called highlights they have put up for the DH are pathetic.
