So we are in Lenzerheide this weekend in the land of the alps, cheese, fondue, chocolate and banks.
Switzerland, baby!
Weather will be mostly good, I will not be there (vacation, baby ) , therefore it should be a great weekend of racing.


Swiss people are neutral, so results are uninteresting for me as long as Minnaar or Hill wins.

Oh, and Peaty will ride a hideous cow ähm bike.

Peaty clearly took the "more cowbell" idea to heart.

 

[slimshady]

If only Peatty would spend half the amount of money he puts on custom fugly painting in fixing his teeth instead...

it's his victory lap. pipe down.

Then he should had gone with some Stella Artois theme.

be awesome if he tied one somewhere on his bike.

 

[SuboptimusPrime]

To be fair to Peaty, it seems like his sponsors/friends are doing these special edition bikes as a send off gift. I will say that were I tasked with making a "special edition" frame/kit for any of my riding buddies, a cow theme would be the very least of their problems...think Biker Fox Pro Enduro Xtreme Gravity Edition.

you can't really beat his Stella helmet from back in the day.

Poor paint shop spent so long wondering whether they could paint a bike like a cow, they forgot to ask whether they should paint a bike like a cow.

EDIT: Cow bike is still better than his Union Jack V10 with matching Union Jack wheels, saddle and shoes. My eyes hurt just thinking about that

Wait until she/he gets 2, than it's 5:30. On the other hand my little one already really enjoys a redbull.tv afternoon with me.

 

[toodles]

Fearon and Fairclough are looking on it in those practice vids. Damn it would be good to get an upset win for a change.

*edit* crap Gee looked like he was gonna die at the end of that Vital raw vid.

Ha ha...

From just 3 months old mine rarely ever got up before 9. I eventually had to start getting them up for School. That was hard.

 

[Gary]

WTF did I just type? This place sure has changed

 

[Dogboy]

Gwin back a bit in qualies. Must've had an issue since I don't think he'd want to give up any points to Troy.

 

[Dogboy]
