Nope, only this.

Should shave several seconds off the times as it takes out 20m of flat sprint and allows a lot more speed to be carried into the last section.

 

[Transcend]

As mentioned they took out the rocks, and they added a wooden road huck. Break out the bar humps.

Which basically means it cuts out the one section where Sam Hill lost time to Gee-Bag last year, so instead of Sam having to chomp on the cranks with his sticks he can carry all the speed onto the motorway and keep spinning...........racin' is gonna be all ****s and giggles this weekend.

Peaty I think! Minnaar has some guns this year too. Ohh canny waite!

 

[Transcend]

World Champ, on track.

I also think Minnaar is going to give Hill a good fight this weekend...

 

[ronan]

is that..dust!?

 

[Transcend]

Dust before the rain started. Moved in pretty quick.

 

[Transcend]

Dan gets LOOSE.

 

[Akula_7]

Yeah he wants to win so bad, you could see how gutted he was in Andorra when Sam was up at the split...................again. Golden time in DH me thinks, 10-12 guys capable of podiums. Hunger everywhere. Makes for good viewage.

 

[Tenacious Doug]

Wooden Road huck........rad.

 

[Cult Hero]

good to see things heating up again. Seems like with Gee's win some of the mystique of sam has been washed away.

Affy got a new bike: http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/news/category/dirt-team/atherton-hardtail/dirt-1231527.html

 

[LukeD]

World Champ, on track.

that looks like a big tire up front. bigger than a 2.5 which i think he normally runs...could just be the picture though.

 

[intencivo]

bling bling pants!

 

[CBJ]

Sweet pictures - can't wait for more.

 

[General Lee]

Hey Fraser, I see the Mojo team's skinsuits have arrived. I bet Biluk is psyched for the chance to flaunt his moose knuckle.

 

[bizutch]

where can I buy this black box brand? All my internet searches for it turn up adult film?

 

[wil_e123]

Shots of the Athertons are looking good Fraser! It looks like their kit contrasts really well with the backgrounds, very nice photos!

Agreed. It should be an awesome race this weekend. Cedric should be a contender as well since he seems to do well at Ft. William.

[fortenndu]

Dust before the rain started. Moved in pretty quick.

That looks like Ulmer. Cool.

 

[younger22]

Is he doing just the Gated racing or is he racing DH too?

 

[FlipFantasia]

bbaaaahahahahah, I saw him a few times around this spring in full tight roadie getup, I think he secretly likes it.....

 

[Transcend]

The skinsuits are indeed here. Tomorrow should be a funny day. Stanny was not exactly looking forward to it. I hope he has an extra pair of socks...

 

[Acadian]

Edit: Fraser that made me LOL!! hahaahah

wonder if this has weagle's stamp of approval? from www.declinemagazine.com

 

[Transcend]

It does indeed have DW's stamp of approval, they looked into it last week for...another...bike (as far as I understand).

wonder how much weight that really saves?

I was just about to say the same exact thing. I don't think I would be too keen on drilling holes in my $2k+ frame unless I got them for free lol

 

[tmx]

Whaaha.. I miss LitterOTB so I can cast my vote on the surprise winner the crystal ball informed me of this morning. I won't mention any names but I can tell you I was sewing and looking for something in the haystack when it came to me.

I'm extremely grateful for the footage and that side-by-side thing with Sam and Gee was awesome. However...(vent on) I hope they find someone other than the drunken band of misfits to announce the women's races. Especially that toothbrush holder guy, yeeesh. If you fellas like the blundering shouting over each other and rude comments for yourselves, that's fine but ew and yawn.

I'd pay an additional $5 (to the previously offered five buck subscription suggestion) if it helped pay for someone more dynamic and respectful in the booth. Mike from The Fix and Full Trucker have proven their mettle, let's get them in there. And I heard Tara did a kick ass job on the mic at Sea Otter. Surely they can all fake some Euro accents to please the UCI. big smilie! (vent off)

 

[Transcend]

I can tell you that Raymond at Freecaster is looking into the issues with the commentary, and they have been addressed. I promise you will see changes this week.

 

[ronan]

please don't get rid of rob

 

[Gunner]

FW world cup Preview video on Freecaster - what was that all about?

Don't worry buddy, I just edited a 4+ minute video of ALL riding killer, no interview filler.

As long as the interweb tubes arent clogged it shall be up tomorrow morning.

 

[Eren]

hopefully cedric gets back in there!!!!

"when see you racer like this, you just wanna retire"

"segway duuuude is a faggot! get out of here faggot!"

"bling bling pants yea"

"my moneys on gee, goo gee! look at him go"

"look at him pedalling! 2 cranks inbetween turns"

"look at his head its already at the next corner, boom, booom, boom"

I knew I could count on your Justin! I'll be up bright and early looking for it

[Acadian]

fixed it for ya:biggrin:

arrrgg...you were too quick. I went back to freecaster to see if there was any new vids then I realized...sh|t that wasn't Ryan! I got BNQT mixed up with Lucent

sorry Justin!

 

[j-posch]

The commentary is the best bit. I have a few women friends who watch it and love it. Its Rob Warner, he rips everyone, not just the women, its all light hearted banter. I'm going to watch at fort bill and am a bit gutted I'll miss the freecaster broadcast. Do you really want another commentator as slow and boring as the other guy? On all the forums I have been on people love the commentary.
