The stupid start order rule change is stupid.

Yup. The big teams got greedy. They could have just left it at 10 permanently protected riders.

In all seriousness, watching Claudio attempting to form thoughts and failing to respond to most of Warner’s questions and queues was sad/gross

This is to be expected after a concussion.

Since when did Gwin become an east coast local?

Sarcasm and inside jokes on the internet is hard, and I'm bad at it.

Don't worry some of us got the joke. I wa just too tired to write "LOL".

Just listened to Cécile's interview in the Vital slideshow. Really interesting to hear her say she was dissapointed in the fact she didn't have the power to pedal hard enough in the urban section. Also interesting to hear her say she's not keen on doing another DH race because there isn't enough riding. Says she did 11 runs on a 2.5 minute track = a lot of waiting around.

She should come and do Sainte Anne...

And granted its a new track, but 11 runs sounds like a lot. Don't some of these guys/girls do like 4 and then just hit it on sunday at full tilt?

in the redbull interview warner did right after quali's with minnaar, myriam, the uci guy and whiteley i believe both riders said they typically do around 10 runs each.

also anyone who hasn't seen it should watch it for the uncomfortable moments alone.

That last section was more like one of those urban dh's they have in south america. Before the race the riders seemed like they were just happy to see a new course.

Minaar should try making some tire casings out of his hair, that seems to brush off the the rigors of DH.

"Coif hair™ sidewalls, strong enough to withstand a race in a full face helmet and still be ready for the post race photo session"

Or maybe they can introduce some Brook McDonald cells into sidewalls
