What can you say about Fabien ?

One minute he's in the commentary box the next he's on the top of the podium.

Talk about natural talent eh ?

Damn, what a race. Fabien is quickly becoming my favourite non Aussie rider, such a pro on the bike and so entertaining to listen to in the media.

hot damn, today's finals just Slap Chopped the standings with some drama! Super pumped for Fabian, seems like a SUPER nice dude from all the interviews ive seen and to win it all with floaty-knee is just INSANE.

Pumped to see stevie and matti up there too!

Wow wasn't expecting Fabien to get podium. It's pretty cool though being that he had screwed up knee. I kinda wanted one of the EVIL guys to win for some reason.

Natural talent? Hardly. Sure he has talent, but that is a testament to hard Mother F'in work!
Ya, I wont say he is the hardest training guy out there, cause there are a lot, but I will say no one else is gritting their teeth, fighting, in training like fabien has lately

nevermind on chicks...sabrina.

What happened to Tracey? cant find a win to save her life.
Apparently she crashed in quali and finals. Whitely has said he has told her to go for 1st and would rather see her crash out going for it than podium taking it easy or so the story goes......

first 2-3 world cups were 30 page threads by now.....has racing died again?
was there a chat room everyone went to or something?

this was by far the most exciting race and the weakest turnout...

props to fabien and sabrina, france back on top

gwin and strobel with some solid top 20 action too!

strobel seemed pinned cept for a couple mistakes, i am excited for when he gets a podium!

Agree 100% with racing, beautiful weather and freecasters replays I no longer need to get up at 630a to watch incredible racing.

good luck watching the reply. the way freecaster's been lately, it'll take half a day to buffer.
live stuff has been smooth. watchin the other content though...soooo slow.

Just watched y'day 4x. Great racing! Props to one of the original dh'er, Fabien Barel. Comme aux années de Nico et ACC, la France domine le podium outrageusement!!
