Interesting point by Cunny commentating on MTBcut - there's no floodlights on the 4x course, and it's apparently getting a bit dim up there?

 

[SeaPig]

check out my short video featuring the top ten riders from today's DH.

 

[S.K.C.]

This has to be the longest that we've gone into a season with an injury-free Peat not getting a WC win under his belt for a LONG time! I presume Minnaar has told him that if he doesn't win a single race he has to run around the pits naked yeah? Standard rules, surely?

...either that or Peaty has to wear Minaarr's elephant-thong from the Ft. Bill race. :biggrin:

Yeah - I was rooting for Peaty on this one too - one for the oldskool. What happened during his race run? Usually he kills it at MSA.

warner sounds incredibly hammered! awesome

"He needs to drink a pint of concrete and harden the **** up"

"If he cased that any harder he'd need a lawyer!"

"It's uglier than a war-wound out there"

LOL

 

[nz_dirtboy]

drink a pint of concret and hardn the **** up

 

[nz_dirtboy]

we havnt had a good swear for ages

 

[konastab01]

Pretty good so far

 

[bansheefr51]

drink a pint of concret and hardn the **** up

dude, I am still laughing at that commentary. Then he says," Quit milking it and get off the track!" HAHA

 

[- seb]

Gracia! :d

 

[konastab01]

Warners brillant again
Great move from gracia.
Awesome.Nearly took a pedestrian out too.

 

[bansheefr51]

sic pass. Cutthroat

 

[- seb]

Atherton out = lost interest now

 

[- seb]

Warner in hair-dye shocker!

 

[konastab01]

Pretty brillant...

 

[konastab01]

Warner in hair-dye shocker!

Am stunned

 

[warwick]

Sick racing! To Frasier and all those involved. Thank you. I'm am officially excited about racing again! Being able to see it live makes it so much better than reading about it after the fact.
x

Me too...it's been super fun filming this weekend and seeing old friends. I've got a bunch of video to post up to freecaster tonight/tomorrow including a long-play interview with Peaty which was really cool. e13 tuning tips, DH finish interviews (with CG as host!)...etc.

Off to Bromont in a few days to continue the reunion tour!

 

[slothy]

**** totally missed the dh, bummer...

I thought the 4x was sat and dh sunday. for some reason im retarded...


you should change the timer on the countdown freecaster vid to say countdown to 4x date /time and the dh date time..

Great race and excellent coverage - thanks once again!!!

Warnerism of the day has to be when they were showing the one woman in the woods and he's like "she's a hot bird, indeed but by Quebec standards she's looking a little rough". Way to lift her up and drop her cold!

 

[Jester]

4x results?

 

[William42]

alveraz 1st, not sure about 2nd and 3rd, gracia 4th. I was bummed about gracia since he was the only guy passing people and doing rad things the whole race, but his front wheel was pretty rad, he definitely did a number on it in the finals. Dan Atherton got 7th or something, not bad for first race off a broken collar bone. 2, almost 3 months after I broke my wrist I'm still at about 75%. Amazing to see these guys come out and do fantastic just a month after they had major injuries, especially with a broken collar bone!

edit: oh, and he raced the downhilll too, and went fast.

 

[CBJ]

Agree I have come out weak like a old lady after my broken collar bones. I would love to know their secret.

 

[W4S]

This is one of the best pictures I've ever seen, It makes me want to ride my bike rediculously fast and try crazy **** off mounds of dirt and have loads of sytle while doing it.

Great race and excellent coverage - thanks once again!!!

Warnerism of the day has to be when they were showing the one woman in the woods and he's like "she's a hot bird, indeed but by Quebec standards she's looking a little rough". Way to lift her up and drop her cold!

Warner!

my favs were the very 1st lines of the broadcast

"testing, testing... testicles...testicular..testes"

calling nathan rennie the paverotti of DH and giving Gee stick for looking like a vulcan

i have to go with:

"more firepower than the A-Team" - Peaty
"the best thing out of Sheffield since The Human League" - Peaty
"he's all over this like Russian radiation" - Hill

good stuff as always from Warner...

 

[c2001]

again, thanks freecaster, the coverage is so valuable and keeps me glued to the screen!

sven and gary bring it again

 

[konastab01]

Check the size of them guns.....

 

[T-Boner]

Does anyone have a full list of qualifiers?

 

[- seb]

Semis & Finals both in that PDF.

 

[Transcend]

more clips as soon as I get home. Karting, interviews, helmet cam from race pre runner and replays. Stay tuned.

 

[konastab01]

Sounds good t....

 

[fl1pp3r]

hey all,
a quick Mont-Sainte-Anne gallery is uploaded ... man this was a tough week. weather was miserable for first few days but then we lucked out race days.

bye for now

[BiscuitFuelled]

Good stuff, favourite is Hill coming out of the woods, lighting is good without being overwhelmingly flash-lit, nice warm, natural feel to it. 4 cross looks a hell of a lot darker than the live feed conveyed, must have been a bugger to shoot.

 

[CBJ]

Beautiful pictures as always.

I don't know if its due to his surgery but interesting that Greg after the end of Honda has done better. Seems like the good old derailleur is still holding its own in fact I can remember seeing to many riders with derailleur problems lately.

 

[konastab01]

Some sick pics again Gary.
Good Work

 

[sayndesyn]

the euro table (i think..) from bryceland is a great pic. Gwin looks like he is climbing around on the back of a 250 in his air pic.

[bizutch]

anybody get a pic of one of the first riders down throwing that monster whip at the finish line? I mean he went nutty.

Never mind...just saw Flipper's pic of Bryceland...nuttiest.

 

[stiksandstones]

I went to transcend and pinned this morning to find full mens/womens 4x and DH results, nothing....mtb media rules!
(was not able to sit and glue myself to computer with freecaster and RM posts...been out riding )

Edit-nevermind, found it all at that road bike racing website, velonews.
