When I saw on my monitor, I thought: is Gee on flat pedals?
Yes.....
The race was good, but lets be honest. With Sam Hill on track(especially like that) the race is more exciting. Sad he will not be in Val di Sole for his revenge.

Sorry I took it the wrong way... Chilled vibes
I can't say I agree, I much prefer to be kept on my toes as to who is going to pull of the win rather than be left guessing what the winning margin is going to be.
a couple top tens is pretty different then being on the podium, or on top of the podium. Kovarik had a great race, and he's one of the best riders out there, but he's no gee atherton or greg minnaar or sam hill.Champery 2010 for example.
But I know, 9th is not "doing well" in your book.
In my opinion for Kovarik(all his results over the years), 9th is few for him.Champery 2010 for example.
But I know, 9th is not "doing well" in your book.
We are always expecting to see him on the podium.
Couple of shots from race day on my flickr (really very very few keepers out of all the shots i took; the conditions were sh*te to shoot in, and wasn't equipped as well as the big dogs a la Sven Martin, Victor Lucas and co.): 'Gwin' on Flickr - Photo Sharing!@@AMEPARAM@@http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4117/4827273857_024a080097_m.jpg@@AMEPARAM@@4827273857@@AMEPARAM@@024a080097
What a race, can't wait for Champery World Champs in 2011, going to be a hell of a show! In the meantime, this world cup season can only get more and more exciting, with the points being how they are...

will there be a replay for those of us who missed it? i cant seem to find anything on freecaster's website.
Typically takes a day or two, I'm betting it'll be up tomorrow sometime, hopefully!
For the Kovarik haters spraying hate...
Kovarik smashed his knee open the morning of the race, needed stitches, did not have time to get them and they had to just throw some tape on it.
He is a warrior.

Kovarik is a warrior... absolute pinner. I remember seeing him first way back in '99 on a GT Lobo at Deer Valley...one of the first Aussies over here.
btw I dedicated my 666 post to him hahaha
^What he said^ Most people have suspension to protect themselves from Rocks.... Kovarik has it to protect the rocks from himself
yea...retarded me.
I left that part out. Yeah, so the question again was "Anybody know if this is the first time a dedicated clipless rider has won a World Cup, but on flats?"
i believe when somebody wins WC on flats, sales of flats will rise, 90% dh riders copy that
I have hard times to imagine when if one crashes, he automatically wrists his foot,
have seen many videos there bike hangs along with rider especially if you crash in front and it causes rear wheel go up
Ha, just having fun man.
there are no volcanos in the alpes...
There are no e's either. I was just adding some flair to my post.
I don't have any details but earlier in the thread there was this (posted after his crash):
Reid's 360 spill would have only been sicker if he had stuck the landing...soooo close!
Greg and Gee have raised the bar this year for sure - that one might go down to the last weekend. I'm sure Minaar is stoked about that. Partly sarcastic, since the last couple/few years have worked that way for him - partly serious, seeing how a lot of these tracks don't "suit his style" as it were.
Already looking forward to this coming weekend - I have a feeling we're in for some surprises.

He said he tried to pin the huge rut before the middle triple and just before hitting the triple he flew off the track to the right and hit a tree head first. He has a compressed spine and a headache but is fine and nothing is broken.

That's nico going for his ride in the heli!
Oh no...there's mud on their shocks. Somebody do something!!!!
i just wanna know if Sam Blenkinsop broke down and wore gloves or not...?
Either that or they need to put him on track with another fast qualifier in a "battle for first" now that would make it more interesting and would most likely make Minnaar come across less stuffy and boring...
Yes, the marshals were have a little bit of a tough time so I stayed down there to help them manage the crowd. Are you coming back here this summer?
I knew it was You 
Oh, a week ago we came back from a 2 weeks trip to Alpe d'Huez and L2A.
It was very nice. We watched Mega and Mountain of Hell. We rode on glaciers. We snowboarded in L2A. We had a great time w/o serious injuries but...
I must say, Port du Soleil rules
Ridind at 3000m above the sea is a great experience. Views are marvelous. But, You ride on rocks, dust or "sand" most of the time. I miss roots, moist soil or mud
We had an impression, that the harder the track is in AdH or L2A the steeper, narrower and more twisty it becomes.
In PdS You've got tracks from Family DH in Les Gets to Champery track and everything in between.
We just had more fun in PdS
So, if my trip to Whistler doesn't work, I will be back in Morzine, next year
