agreed. how far behing Greg was he in the end?Looked a bit like Nadia Komenich on that dismount... well done.
How much time would you guess he lost there? Crash/rumble in the bushes/remount/get back to speed... Looks about 6 1/2 seconds from hitting the bush to back on the bike. I'd guess close to 10 seconds lost all together.

He's got tracks that suit him over anyone else coming up, Champery and Val di Sole - if he doesn't slaughter everyone at both of those I'd be a bit surprised.Yeah, less than 5 seconds... and from a armchair perspective the bottom of the course suited Greg over Sam.
One of these days Sam is gonna pull a real crusher off, and not fall. Until then, I guess it's all good for him as long as he can still win overall titles...
agreed. amazing though that he can crash and still get the results he does. i think he hold back a little for a cleaner run and still win on a lot of the courses.Yeah, less than 5 seconds... and from a armchair perspective the bottom of the course suited Greg over Sam.

it takes me 20 seconds to complete the crashevery time hill crashes he still comes in about 5 seconds behind 1st place.
When I crash it takes me 10 seconds to realise I am still not on my bike!
I guess our crashes are so much more gnarr than Hill's cos we ride so much faster than himit takes me 20 seconds to complete the crash
The most brilliant man on the monkey speaks truth. Those should be amazing races to watch. I was never really a full blown fan boi but after watching The Entree I have a whole new respect for the way he does things.He's got tracks that suit him over anyone else coming up, Champery and Val di Sole - if he doesn't slaughter everyone at both of those I'd be a bit surprised.
Nice catch I didn't notice that at first.Looks like he grabbed a tear off a little too late and the corner snuck up on him.
I would go out on a limb and say maribor suits him quite well too.He's got tracks that suit him over anyone else coming up, Champery and Val di Sole - if he doesn't slaughter everyone at both of those I'd be a bit surprised.

In one of the Dirt mag videos, he explains the crash: Went for a tear-off, missed, got it on the 2nd try, but lost his concentration/timing and couldn't get on the brakes fast enough to make the turn afterwards.Nice catch I didn't notice that at first.
Yes, real lucky, especially how he could have easily re-messed up his knee. Hell, he probably did and will still be the most feared man.In one of the Dirt mag videos, he explains the crash: Went for a tear-off, missed, got it on the 2nd try, but lost his concentration/timing and couldn't get on the brakes fast enough to make the turn afterwards.
In looking at the video, he's lucky he didn't stack into that tree. Could've been much worse.
