Go Peaty! Can't believe he won it again.
^^^^ That's what I was thinking...lol
How did the irish do
How did the Ausses do?
The Irish, stopped for a pint at the local pub on course, the aussies did too many drifts and forgot it was a race and the Jamaicans... well we know what they did.
How did Rennie do?
Result list?

All the results i could find:

Heres some pictures I took with Strakar today:
(this is an imminent failure photo, he hit the straw bale, you can see the straw flying, and a half second later he was on top of the others straw bale's and some audience!)
Not much of a story, Peaty nails it again. Cedric really wanted to win, you could see it by the way he ran the final. Greg did a small mistake right at the beginning which cost him the top position.
Strakar will be posting his ubber cool photos later! Sorry for the bandwidth killer post.

Wouldn't Holyrollers or Hookworms be best for urban downhill? Is there any dirt to the track?
...just surprised that they are all running Minions/etc. on that course.

Great piccs LL thanx for sharing..
How did the Americans do?
Nevermind...
Nevermind...
From what I've heard the streets are so old and polished from millions of footsteps that the sticky knobby tyres hook up much better than a street tyre. In previous years people have done their first runs on hookworms etc. but swapped back to minions straight away.
Any word on Leov would be great too...
No word on Leov, didn't get my hands on any results this year. But yes, far all I saw he was the only one running a little bike!
As for the tires nothing gets a grip over there. Not even a good pair sneakers, as you my find for yourselves if you ever find your way over here!
So I guess the best change for an extra grip is some Slow Reezay ubber gripy compound and hopping those knobs fitting into the small gaps between rocks!

It's like I'm saying to the rider "so... gonna get it over with or not?"
The guy in the background was staying at a hostel at one of those doors (in the middle of the course). When the guy decided that he had seen enough he got up, went to the door, and rang the bell... no one answered. The guy rang again, but the only sound was from the bikes closing in, the guy got really nervous and started knoking furiously on the door while praying for his life =D me, loki, and the rescue team laughed our asses off
Oh yeah, I'll post some photos later on tonight =)
Interesting that Neethling is rockin a Leatte neck brace. Good for him, I hope they catch on.
Check Gracia's rear, looks like a semislick...
Did they not have chicks racing this year? I have seen or heard nothing about their race.
Chicks are getting closer and closer to extinction.

Someone said some of the new features made the course to "difficult" for the ladies! Couple of buddies of mine who where in attendance said it was pretty tricky.
But i'm sure Sabo and some of the quicker ladies would have been able for it. Organisers saving money perhaps? Not an all expenses paid event like in the past?
I don't know, but last year only a couple of the ladies did the stairs gap, and a few more the car jump(even though this years seemed smaller).
Being this the most spectacular areas I can get the idea behind the organizers! And since Redbull is behind it, I don't think money is a problem!
Btw, cedric was using a High Roller Semi Slick Tire on the back!
Also, in Peat's run @1:02 I think he almost wins a second in those stairs to everyone!
