Danger Dassie Posted July 28 Posted July 28 What a race, still suitably impressed by Candice. A spectacular mechanical, with a run to the tech zone and didn’t give up. Finishing 20th at +9:31. Not the result wanted sure, but an impressive performance all considered. Hope le Comte is ok, that crash didn’t look good at all when she went down! ChrisF, tinmug, openmind and 5 others 3 5

Danger Dassie Posted July 28 Posted July 28 Likely a concussion (“head injury”) and a jaw injury for Lecomte. Hopefully nothing too serious and she has a healthy return, that was a bloody hard fall. Props to the broadcasters not going into overt replays. https://www.mbr.co.uk/news/loana-lecomte-suffers-head-trauma-and-jaw-injury-after-shocking-crash-in-paris-2024-olympic-mountain-bike-xco-race-440258 https://www.sportbible.com/other/olympics-2024-loana-lecomte-mountain-bike-crash-766633-20240728 openmind 1
Headshot Posted July 28 Posted July 28 What do you guys think of the track? Pretty dull and BMX like, except for those rocks which likely trashed CLs wheel and took out LL. The designer is from SA. Think he could do better.

Pretty dull and BMX like, except for those rocks which likely trashed CLs wheel and took out LL. The designer is from SA. Think he could do better. “The designer” has designed the last number of Olympic and some World Champs tracks and is the best in the world. He was a) working with a rubbish dump that has been converted to a man made hill b) quoted on building after the design was done and didn’t get the contract to build so perhaps things were changed c) is not even remotely the person who has the majority of the say when it comes to the nature of the course and d) name an Olympic track that hasn’t been mostly fast with a few large, tricky features. Please correct me if you have personal experience with track design and the many likely factors in play at this level, otherwise (as usual on “Le Hub”) maybe just think before criticizing one person, especially someone we should be proud of for what he’s achieved on the global stage.
