I was actually referring to the "must re-enter the course at the point of leaving" rule. Which hisorically (since the 90s) has been ignored, upheld, changed, changed back, ignored, altered and upheld (today/yesterday).
claudio probably doesn't get a lot these days. i'm not convinced his concussion and subsequent issues haven't caused more damage than people think.
Rear brake failure
Sounds pretty messy
Pretty sure minnaar is a protected rider; he was out due to injury.
minnaar is listed in the first 16. after that i only count 3 more - wallace, bruni, fayolle. i'll admit i'm a bit of a mathtard but who am i missing?
You mean first 17?
nope, 16. START column is 1-16, Nr column is 1-17 but missing 6.
Yep...probably was a shimano brake. Oh, nope that wasn't it...musta been a Code or some half ass Sram brake. Shit, that wasn't it either...A Formula Cura shitting the bed?!!
Statistics from today would contradict that.
That was most of my productive day hours today.
Have to agree. I mean, great result for Reece Wilson but getting such a great time early on in the race did kill some or the suspense. Plus all the mechanicals and people getting DQed arbitrarily didn't help. 6/10.
Erzberg or SpikeBall? I would guess you would be interested in both.
Which way?
Yeah seems his previews are postponed indefinitely. Wouldn't be surprised if he's done with risking it.
Look I'm as stoked for bikini girl errr... tahnee as much as anyone, but Myriam and Rachel both crash and Rachel bloody rolled a track with uphill sections and they both still put up competitive runs. Rachel's run was mental. Brilliant runs from all 3. Tahnee with the one-hander too. Legend.
I'd say it's a matter of minimizing the chain length in order to be able to skip the chainguide. Most of the broken chains I remember happened when the rider was powering through chunder while in a low gear and with near bottomed rear suspension.
They snapped after the first ~1.5 ft drop, when they were pedaling IIRC (feel free to correct me if wrong). I still think it points to a chain too short.
I had a vision while watching all the FW Cathro clips yesterday evening: RedBull should absorb Cathro Vision, give him a fat paycheck + expenses for his analysis (and lift the 3 min rule for him, obviously), ask him to do all the course preview and provide a proof reading team so the racer names don’t get messed up anymore.
Yeah, I should have been more clear. Not directly out of the start hut, but in the first few seconds of the track. No way they were in a low gear at that point in the race.
HDMI cable + computerv disappointed with redballs recently. They discontinued my smart TV app. Now I can't live stream the race while "paying attention" to my kids. I'd have to have my phone out the entire time, or buy one of the three devices they still support. Looks like I'm done watching races this season
Chromecast is like $30. Then you can stream from your phone to TV. Nice thing is, once it’s directed to the content, it no longer relies on your phone like an Apple TV.v disappointed with redballs recently.

In the broadcast, Rob said it looked like it may have happened after the first couple of pedal strokes, while the riders were changing into higher gears. In the Vital interview podcast, Rach' pretty much throws SRAM chains under the bus and Sven tries to save her some potential sponsor embarassement? (actually, I just checked, they're not sponsored by a drivetrain company... so they can pick and choose what they want?)
totally agree (see post #120):
maybe some sort of petition could be started? "Cathro for Redbull?"
