i guess checking RM is more important then watching then race to you
2012 Windham World Cup
- Thread starter slyfink
- Start date
Maybe Stick can comment on that. Seems a bit strange since some of them are not that active in the offseason.that was just a guess
Gwin won too of course
so all the big guys are hitting enough races before the WC season to get enough points?
I dont watch replays, instead I check RM
wow, the last 3 ladies down the course had crazy runs!
How the heck did Rachel not get DQ'd???? She totally gained time and got the win by not having to re-enter the course where she went out. How was that any different than somebody cutting out a corner and riding through the tape?
Sure by loosing it off the jump, she didn't gain time, but by continuing to ride outside the tape she was able to take the win. Didn't Peaty get DQ'd for the same thing last year?

I understand the reasoning but I also remember times where people were DQ'ed in the same situation
They said it didn't benefit her, so no DQ? Seems like the same situation Peat got dq'd for last year.
She's a RedBull-Athlete so...
Yeah. I've also heard the red bull guys are lizard people and part of the Illuminati and the fact UCI is a part is basically common knowledge.
how/where are the top 20 protected riders seeded when it comes to race day if they didnt make the top 80?
Just before top20
I'll be surprised if they don't make a change to Rachael Atherton. I can't imagine anyone really believing that she didn't gain considerable time not going back to where she left the course. It was easily the difference in 1st and 7th and a huge impact on the overall World Cup results.
WTF how did Beaumont get up so quickly from that crazy crash?
That rock garden is giving me some anxiety with each rider.
Wow Rock Jesus slayed the rocks.
Edit: And his suspension is ridiculously stiff if you watch the slowmo.

9 for 12? unreal
yay Gwin!!! blistering run!
Was Stevie really 11 sec. back at the first split????He look SOOOOOO PINNED thru that rock section.
Not 11 seconds back, maybe 11th at the split though. Which was like 1.5-2 sec back.
Gwin is a machine...thats all there is to it.
ouppps, makes more sense
another year of racing and doing this well and he's gonna kill individual WC wins records. Dudes a beast for sure.
Nice to see Richie Rude break top 20. Had a solid run.
That's what I was thinking. What's the record? 16? Though it makes it a bit boring for me to watch a race for the 2nd place
Awesome discussion here. That rock garden is INSANE. But Gwin and Stevie made it look like flat 0_0
Could we just fast forward to world champs now?

So is that it with Rachel cutting the tape? Do they revisit this, or is the ruling at the end of the race final? If so, that's lame as hell.
Rob seems to think it's fair considering the time she lost and still putting it together. If were siding with armchair quarterbacks, I'm gonna side with the guy whose raced world cups.
So the rule isn't that you have to re-enter where you left the course, but that you only have to re-enter where you left if you didn't gain an advantage? That seems too subjective.
Also, Gwin sure did find his sport. He's talented, dedicated and just happened to apply it to the most appropriate activity for his skillset.

I agree with him, didn't see any issues with it, because she obviously lost a lot of time with the whole ordeal...
Is there a replay of Emmeline's crash anywhere?
