OH nooooes!
amazing that Loic didn't know he'd wrapped up the overall till the interview. I hope they didn't muff up the calculations and give him wrong info... how many points are up for grabs at a WC? (between qualis, semis and finals?)
Not everyoneI'd say there is a non-zero chance that he was full of shit saying he didn't know. He really seemed to back off his pace like he got news.
I'm not saying he had a radio, but today it would be so easy to have splits and other info sent to something like a smart watch.
Not everyonecheatsrides like a roadie bro.
The three buttons in Loic's handlebar are for scrolling through his Twitter feed, obviously.Yeah. I'd definitely be looking at my watch on such an easy track in the wet.

You watch your toungue young man. Ehehe.Yeah. I'd definitely be looking at my watch on such an easy track in the wet.
Gwin even took a couple of naps during his run so he'd be fresh for a bit of commetary at the finish
@Westy.
Loic explains in the WynTV interview that he had guys on track shouting information to him. MX Pit board style and that one guy in particular told him to tone it down. You could hear someone shout something to him about half way down on the livestream. Next split he'd gone from 1sec up to 1.3 down. Rik and Gwin mentioned during their commentary that he seemed to be getting information shouted to him by a member of staff from his team.
You really think the UCI is going to start sharing useful information with teams?I am just not buying he didn't know he clinched the championship, why else would he back it off? He normally isn't the kind of guy to be happy just making a podium. He is an extremely strategic and savvy rider, that was all part of a well thought out plan. I it is possible that was the first he heard someone say it, but I'd say he pretty much knew.
Anyway I think it could make for more interesting racing if they gave the riders split data at some point in the course. Would make quals and semis even more meaningful.
Benny with the Win. Yes,finally.You watch your toungue young man. Ehehe.
I found out what that barrel is on Dak’s Bike.
I Love to watch Benny ride. Fucking guy has bad luck.
Avy,still watching replay.

More opportunities to screw things up!You really think the UCI is going to start sharing useful information with teams?
You can't complain about the variety thought. We had a couple of shots of the camera men's feet while they walked, at least 4 cuts to an empty, fog-covered bit of the track, some bald guy's back of the head, the drone they were using to follow the riders, some empty sky...With only 30 riders in finals I was pleased to see Oisin's 6th place run for a solid 3 seconds.

I've no idea if that's a massive spoiler as I only clicked the notification hoping you'd answered my question from this morning asking if anyone knew of a replay available.

I was wondering why they were showing her reactions during his run.Ok. Hold the phone. Someone on PB said there's a relationship between Tahnee & Finn?
Oh the drama!
But I'm happy married and have a kid, so I guess I gotta rub this drama in
I remember Brother.View attachment 218089
Personally. I think Loic is a bit of an arrogant dick.
Remember when the whole of ridemonkey thought that about Gwin. And Woo thought he'd quit while ahead and fuck off to something else?
#ironymuch
That was the moment he got the information and tuned it down a bit.@Westy.
