Leo's Gang 2022
- Thread starter Westy
- Start date
I was hoping for MOAR GREASE in the stumps & woods, track is a bit of a snoozer as is.
AP's high line right out of the gate and the GOAT's wall ride was the most excitement yet....

Those shots of people coming up short in the gap out the woods yesterday were gnarly! I was hoping for more of that today.
well, Leogang delivered a really exciting race. I totally didn't see this result coming. totally bummed for Coulanges. zut alors.
Canadian juniors were the only non-European or British riders in the top-5 of any category. The kids are all right...
edit: oh wait, no, Jenna Hastings and Lachlan are antipodean...

Thank You iRider. I would Love to know if Laurie prefers one to the other? I Love Michelin myself.

I agree,a lot of pressure on him IMHO,this will Boost his Mental Strength.
I misread the Final Qualy list,even though Redwood told me. Don’t ask,waste of time. My Final call would Not have changed at all even with this Fuck Up of mine. Everyone Here Never had Benoit as a Winner,even though it was right in front of them. I stand firm for the next Race on Benoit.
Greenland is on Fire,I’m tellin you.
Troy,if any of you pay attention to me,which I doubt,has also been on my List. He hurt his Ankle so I knew he would not be ready for this Race. He did very good,but Look Out next Race.
Gwin,my Boy,I was so happy to see him on my TV. It has been a long time,with nothin but Hate from all you all.
I,more than anyone,have been completely confused regarding this Intense matter. At this point I can only hope for the best. Next Race will be Huge for me as to what the fuck is going on?
Strike that,there are a couple of Monkeys with Love,I know who they are.

No kidding. She just keeps getting better, it's nuts.
Myriam was looking really good before her crash too.
Going uphill. He crashed going uphill.
I can't even...
ThisAaaaaargh, not again!!!
She is such a cool rider, sucks to see her injured again.
Her crash was effing gnarly. No way she should have got up as quickly as she did, let alone ride down the course. I bet she's probably grateful that the local rules meant she had to be wearing some sort of back protector.
Is anyone keeping tabs on the amount of injured top 10 riders per race? At this point one wonders if the winners should have their medical bills covered as part of the prize...
Me too. The field is now so good that I don't think anybody's every going to dominate the way, say Rachel did, but I hope Marine can get healthy and mix it up with the top women more reliably. She's still got the potential, but she's had a rough go of it the last few years.
Some crazy moments in the race...
Marine, jeebus.
And Greg. Bro with the HUCK and then shit in your pants trip through the tape off that wall ride.
Did anyone see Suarez land to absolute flat, on his back wheel, on one of the jumps on the straight? Yikes.
And who gapped into the forest and smacked the tree and then continued on like it was nothing?
And Benoit....wow. what a bummer!

He pretty much found the track's max speed empirically. Every other fast rider was doing 69 km/h at the speed trap. He did 70 and landed outside the tape.
watch jack moir's most recent vid. he films people going into the woods on race day. nuts.
I love Jack's commentary
'ooooh'
'wooh'
'yeeeah'
'ayyyy'
'eeeew'
'get it jimmyjammerjummer'
I went back and did a full Rewind.A lot to take in.
I want to say that,If I had to Place a Bet on which Two Riders on the same Team would place the Highest in a Final Run for One Full Season?
My Gut tell’s me: Mr.Hatton and Mr.Kolb. I Love the way they Ride,it also feels like they feed off one another. They are doing vey well. Gee and the Gang have done Wonders with their Team. I will be keepin Track.
Lets make this new Pick next year? I don’t do Fantasy,mabye you should Tell PB to make that another option? Unless it is already there.

Are you forgetting Peirron and Daprella's one and two at Ft William?
quite a few teams have a couple of riders capable of poduim finishes
eg. Greg & Laurie, Reece & Loris, Luca & troy, Loic & Fin, Brook & David
Dak is too but I'm not so sure about his team mate ever getting up there again
I got ya Gary,it’s just the Nature of the Beast. TBow and Pierron are a Rock Star Combo. Like Stevi Ray and Buddy Guy. Each Rider must stay within himself,stay healthly,no bike problems,have a good quaily,not crash,the list goes on. At this Level,a 1 2 punch is rare for teammates. I am not saying a podium finish,just who had the most points after each race as teammates for the whole season. All these Men are Insane,I just like this combo.

I would guess when its muddy like that it evens the playing field and the best bikes have less of an advantage, more down to raw skill?
I understand that,but look at this race. If you go on points,what two had the most? To me,that is the unknown about who could be the best Duo? Bruni is out for now,no point’s for his team. Troy is Back. Hart got Lucky he was not Hurt on his last crash. Gwin has found somthing to get back in the Game. Am I making sense to you now Brother?

Wow,bit rough but at least you are on track now. So let us wait till the end of the season so we can look at the Total point’s.
