Would love to see him try a hand at a DH race, says he’s keen
Les Gets 2021
- Thread starter Happymtb.fr
- Start date
I'll be curious to hear the post-race interviews and see the sector analysis. Looking at the times (https://www.pinkbike.com/news/final-results-from-the-les-gets-dh-world-cup-2021.html), it seems the riders that started early, and those that started late were similarly slow (speaking in relative terms of course!) in sectors one and two... The only person to go quicker than him in any sector seems to have been Joe Breeden. I wonder how much the weather really impacted the result... he was simply fast as...
A few different angles from Wilson’s Instagram. Brutal. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ38CMasxKW/?utm_medium=copy_link
That song choice made me crack up. Amazing.
You miss one thing. The guys who started early lost like 1-2s to him. The guys who started late lost 3-7s.
They seem normal? 127cm Wheelbase for a Large. 130 for XL.
That was my fault, I changed my fantasy team and spent all my freedum tokens on her and Danny Hart.
I decided to shut my pie hole after the third rider which motivated me to say to my son "hey, he's doing great, if he's able to keep this pace he'll surely have a chance!" crashed miserably.
Course looked great, camera coverage was awesome but rain races where the track turns to shit halfway suck. Not to take away from Daprella, he killed in bad conditions. Probably safe to say he was concussed and probably didn't realize what was going on.
Also, Tracy would make for a great Muppet character.

I think the course held up well in the rain. It didnt detract from making it awesome to watch and the riders were insane to cope with it. I just wish it was same conditions for all the men. It kinda sucked once you realized none of the affected riders were going to crack Duprela's time. They all seemed to be up to 15secs off by the end of their runs. Awesome viewing but didnt have the same buzz where they were coming in within seconds and making for a competative race. Was mental to watch and there really was some incredible riding going down. Maybe the message is clear now, everyone wants tracks like this in the series. Big up to the local build crew.
question a buddy asked...did they all hit the problematic road gap? or did the powers that be eliminate it? it's nowhere in the footage and no one talked about it...
Vali LOL
Post race interviews Myriam said she hit it so I assume a couple others did as well. I'm surprised they didn't have more crash mats and things around it hey. It looked mega-tricky to get right.
Didn't Rachel Atherton do her achilles on some huck to flat feature at Les Gets as well? Marine and Nina both taken out by it. Although by the sounds Nina was trying to roll down the face off it, not jump it when she crashed.
Like most of the women. Mille could be seen dropping slowly into the grass slope behind the drop, then roll over the road and hop into the downslope in one of the Vital RAW videos. Besides Nicole and Seagrave most other fast women were doing this.
But I hated the Warner and Tracey BS "I wonder where they lost these 7 seconds in the first sector". You know, they did not hit the road gap.
I hate to say it but he's never looked like the old Gwinn on the Intense. Similar to when he went to specialized.Nah, Gwin was also slow on other tracks, don't blame the Kenda's.
Plus these young guns are insane, Thibault Daprellas run was nuts, he was so committed and he made it look so smooth. That kid is going to be a force.
Reece Wilson also made me a fan with that performance.
I always liked his riding but his LSD shows just how genuinly he enjoys bikes, MX and Lada-men. Top bloke!
Doods! That was so good! Next year y’all got to get out here.
I sprained my ankle a couple weeks ago getting my jersey stuck in my bars so I was hobbling around a bit. I showed Jack my crash.
Dean showing up in style on race day with Sweet Caroline blasting on a Gold Wing!
I think we won the pit vehicle championships with the Unimog, Land Cruiser and Gold Wing combo.
Marine is a tough one!
One for @iRider
what a race!

Is anyone else getting "Simple Jack" vibes with his new haircut...?
I haven't seen any updates on the state of Marine's health... What happened to her in the end? It doesn't look like there are any casts in that photo of her...
This is next year's Worlds course, correct? hmmmm....
The Full Attack guys posted a "post-mortem" of the race (en français):
Essentially they say that the course was very well received by the riders, but there's some "improvements" that could be made to "certain jumps" (while showing footage of the road gap). I think this also applies to Reece's creek gap, and Andreas Kolb's wooden bridge...

She apparently had so big hematoma in her legs that it was really painful to just stand from what I read on the french forum
So it was you!
Maybe freeriders should also wear tight clothes?
just for safety, you know
the line Bernard is on about is at 8:14 where he cuts right to get a straighter line over the roots tight to the next tree on the left then really close to the pole on the right giving a straighter run in and way moar speed down to the jump. Bernard said it was so fast he he had to drag the brakes and you can see he still clears it easily. Reece said post race he didn't brake enough before it and we all know how that went
She got X-rays and has huge hematomas on her right thigh and a swollen knee on the other side. Walking on her crutches was tough. Her right thigh swole up to 2x bigger than normal. It looks so painful but she didn’t complain much at all. It reminded me of getting a hip check in hockey when the whole thigh muscle gets bruised, if any of you have ever had that.
Maybe or I’ll cut my bars down or learn how to table properly? Anyways, I got lucky on that one.So it was you!
