I just got to tune in, what happened to Rach? Did Tracy win?
finally fort bill
- Thread starter jstuhlman
- Start date
Yes what happened to Rachel as usual my redbull feed sucks have to keep reloading
Rachel crashed in practice. Tracey won by 10 seconds. Carpenter got off and walked through the mud section. Claudio said his guys said it was the fastest way through. That shouldn't be in a WC XC race, nevermind a DH race.
so far out of 1 finishes total for DH this season (mens and womens combined)
2/3 have been won on Ruxes

I saw Emilie SagWHATEVER (Swiss) crashing twice in less than 10ft when going through the new muddy wood section. Boy that one took its toll on the girls.
What's this "see you in an hours time" malarkey??
9AM Central for the gals.
WTF? An hour break in between the women's and men's race? Is this new?
Maybe I'm a time-tard.... But are you watching the men's right now? Cuz I'm getting a "thanks for watching screen"
Yeah, they used to pre-record so it was seamless from women's to men's, but perhaps not anymore?
Nope, I'm getting a RB plate in my TV. Men's broadcast goes live in ~15 minutes.
EDIT: If you happen to be watching via the TV app, go back to the main screen and enter the broadcast again. You will get a "broadcast will start soon..." plate.

... and we are live.
aaaand, the rain
Gwin had it. What a crazy spot to make a mistake.
In case I missed it, Rachel has a dislocated shoulder.
Hill at Val di Sol
Peaty at Les Gets
Ratboy at Hajell
etc. etc.
it's a big part of what makes DH such a great sport to watch.
Benoit Coulanges riding a Nicolai ... gearbox skipped first pedal out of the gate, almost pitched him.
Oh crap ahaha. Wonder how that could happen. The thing worked for the rest of his run though?
Nah something must have been wrong the whole way coz he was babying it all the way down.
It looked like an intermittent problem to me.
Maybe some teething issues.
That sucks. Honestly the derailure in a can is the best way to go if you can get it all bundeled into a tight package. Any mechanic could fix it etc......Nah something must have been wrong the whole way coz he was babying it all the way down.

Nice race.
Anyone else get Rennie flashbacks watching Moir bomb the fuck out of that hill?

Oh, Sh!t. The Athertons with no luck this year...
Greg WinGnar. That guy is so amazing. And since his bikes fits him, I even enjoy watching him ride.
Aaaaaaannnd next stop for the whining bus: Ft. Bills woods.
Now there's a really technical section in a course and riders are already complaining that it is too difficult?
I know conditions weren't ideal in there, but that sh!t gets old now.
It was not a huge problem for the top five guys atleast.

I didn't have an issue with the new section by itself, but placing a road gap right after such a slow section doesn't seem like a good choice. Especially if they intend to keep it as a regular feature in the bike park.
Did I miss it, or RB didn't get him?
Didn't the broadcast suck a bit more this time for everyone else? We actually saw about 40% of the track, and many of the riders didn't even get that much.

Was going to highlight the same result. Good for just showing up. Anyone know what that does for his chances on the Australian national team for Worlds?
those riders need to stfu about the woods. and no one seemed to have a problem clearing the road drop, although i sure as hell wouldn't have wanted to.
moir and minaar were beasts. interesting to see intense coming back strong into the wc game...

That road gap can be hit really slow... it's always had a slightly uphill run in.
It's just a feature for the camera's
it's never been open for punters. only the WC.
