Loic getting a little sidetracked at the XC Worldcup ....



Shouldn't he get used to those 29er wheels? As we all know, size matters. :D

Need to remember to restock the shed before this weekend. Hell yeahs, can't wait to watch more racing. Hopefully the ending of this race is more exciting than the last one.

Can't wait for the Pinkbike 29er hype machine!
I wonder why UCI hasn't banned 29ers yet? Gee got seriously injured riding one. When this happened with road disc brakes, UCI immediately stopped the testing. Later it turned out that it wasn't even the disc that injured the rider, but hey, a year delay in introducing new technology, UCI will take it!

I miss drunk Warner commentary. :(
I always found him a bit hysterical (in the bad sense of the word) when he was drunk. I turned the sound down. Now that I have kids and want to watch the races with them, I'm doubly appreciative of the toned-down Warner...

I accidentally saw some Moto Trails on a hotel tv the other day and im pretty sure Warner was commentating...
Dont think he was drunk tho.
He commentates on BMX, XC & DH, Motorcycle Trials and Redbull X-fighters so it might well have been. He tends to be teamed up with (freesports) commentator Ed Leigh a lot when it's not mtb commentary.

He was irrational and uncontrollably emotional, shouting a lot and swearing a lot. I found it annoying. so I turned off the sound. You don't have to yell and scream to be entertaining.
