How'd you know that?

Mental? It is fucking criminal. Resorts have a lot of experience hauling people off of mountains, have to assume this is some UCI bullshit.
Pinkbike cleared it up that Quebec has some weird arse system where the army comes to get you if you're critical, and a private service does it if you're not. Apparently Brook was stabilised on the hill so was deemed non-critical and the private guys had to get called in. Pilot was on-call, had to drive to work, fly to the hill, couldn't land anywhere nearby and they had to transport to the heli.
Shithouse, but the only UCI blame really lies in not having figured all this shit out prior to it being needed.
Importantly, they at least learnt from it and have put plans in place for the race as well as removed some offending roots which also brained another rider.
Fucking hell.
How does an event like this rely on someone kicking at home on call? Pretty standard for motorsport to have the helicopter on site? What is the fucking point to a helicopter if it takes 4 hours.

I mean hey its mt st anne, this is the first race they've ever hosted, can't expect the moon.
Quebec is the most fucked up third world country I've ever been in.
That is saying something coming from someone from Florida. I won't comment on the number of buses full of Froggy Canadians rolling down to florida every year.
I honestly have the impression, that this track has now reached the point where it is too fast.
I don't know where the crash happened, but the speed they're going is flat out scary.
Also, how on earth is a first respond protocol not checked and approved, BEFORE the event starts?
And no lift service by the heli team aswell?! I know we're totally spoiled here in the alps but this is unacceptable.
Big fan of Brook. He's a wrecking ball, he got this.

I remember seeing you in lift line, due to the bike as some guys I ride with had balfas and were talking about yours. Then read about it being you on RM afterwards.How'd you know that?
And I work for NSA.
What time is womens and mens racing today? Someone must know so I don't have to hunt for it.
Mind like a steel trap I tell ya.
If I managed to parse the shit ass UCI website correctly, the women are at 12:50 Eastern and the men at 2.
May have already been addressed, but do we know if there will be a replay?
I am sick about the Brook crash.
In an effort to change the tone, it looks like we are coming up on the race. Anyone in the US have confirmation if the app is going to work? I have the spoof ready to stream if it doesn't.

I got it figured out, using my phone now, turned location services off, streaming from my phone to my tv, works like a charm.
Well done Myriam, what a comeback.
Im so bored I just watched womens dh 
Holy fuck
I used to be really dismissive of women's DH, because even though I knew most of them would easily kick my ass, it just looked lame. Seeing some snippets this season has brought me around a bit though, Salazar has some actual style to her riding, Cabirou hauls ass and Hoffmann is properly entertaining to watch. I'll definitely catch more women's races next year.Im so bored I just watched womens dh
I might have come across a bit harsh.
I dont mind seeing them ride and I raced DH in long enough to know a few of them would kick my ass.
Its just that the field is always so unimpressive. Its more about the lack of competition then bagging on the girls actually riding.
Pompom just won after coming back from a long injury, riding with half an ankle and going around a jump.
I wasnt exactly on the edge of my seat but props to all of them.
Geo Proxy from yesterday wouldn't work, some freevpn thing set to Canada is working now for the end of the mens.
Missed the womens, will have to find a replay to watch with wifey.

Ofcourse Im biased. But DH has got to be one of the toughest if not the toughest sports on the planet.
These guys are just unreal.

How. The. Fuck
...does he keep on doing this? Brosnan looked aggressive and near perfect, then he does that.

I wonder if that blown line was due to his rear tire losing air. If not for that he might have had it.
