Dang, Peaty is hella tough. Hannah in armor, weird...
Updates from Vigo - World Cup #1
- Thread starter Akula_7
- Start date
Cheers guys, glad I could keep you all posted on the "gossip" and results. It only takes 2secs to wip out the laptop and drop a quick post.
I saw Peaty and Sessler heading off this morning, thought they were going for toilet roll or beer or something.
Anyway I will be in Fort Bill in a few weeks for the next WC, will hopefully quailify for the top 80 there though so that means less updates and more riding for me.
Also Vanessa Quin damaged her wrist in here race run, not sure how, but that's the reason for her DNF.
As for Minnaar he had one hell of a crash up top, an Irish buddy of mine caught it on tape, so he showed it to Greg and Matti and Greg gave him his Shorts(he blamed the shorts for the crash), Alex Rankin is gonna "buy" the footage off him.
On the fast side of things Rennie and Kovarik were un-naturally fast through the last kink/dip/straight bit.BRAAAAAAAP.
I have some videos if someone wants to host them.
Adios

What happened to Minnaar and Barel? Thought they would have been top 5 or top 10 at least. And what does "Abandon" mean for Atkinson? Good to see Sick-Mick pinning again on the 'Dale.

All those wondering about Hannah + armour, he's sponno'd by one of the armour companies now as part of the larger "The Cut" deal (661 is at the front of my mind but not 100% sure) so wearing it helps him to secure "the mad cash, yo".
Also, yeeeeeeeeeeeeeuw!!!!!! Hannah!

Minaar caught a tree stump and crashed hard.

uaaaaaahhh....
was this atkinson's ??
Someone said ACC is pregnant...uh, no...
Marla Streb you are thinking? ACC is retired.

Quick! Get the bike off course! That sort of failure sure isn't good for a bike's reputation...
So the new Rumor is that ACC and Marla Streb had a love child. Now there is two posts, and is fact.stiksandstones said:

Will post the photos I took today in a while.
Injury report sounds bad...Transcend said:
Is it coincidence? hard tracks? out of shape athletes? suspension getting worse?
Weird thing is, in all the spain pics I see more fans on course-which is weird because a couple noobs in here were telling me how sweet (spectator wise) fontana would be due to its closeness to L.A......never seen so little people watching a bike race.
Anyways, heal up racers~!
That sucks for CVD... Finally got onto a full support team and breaks his damn wrist in the first race. I bet he is doing alot of cussing..
ouch - it 'might' be Bryn's bike, but I think his bike is blue. Might be one of the other GT riders (like Chris S., Dave W. or Ollie.)caballero said:uaaaaaahhh....

I like the short wheelbase.
Now available to fit in most overhead storage compartments..
Sucky weekend for the kiwis, as well as Vanessa and Scarlett, Justin Leov Sprained his shoulder and I hear Sam Blenkinsop broke his collarbone too!Transcend said:
Super stoked for Mick Hannah though, he's been deserving a win for a looong time
46 164 USA19870411 TOLAND Joshua USA 1:45.530 2:36.250 13.308
Josh Toland, 46th. Way to go Josh!
I wrecked in my qualifying run. The course was super fun, and definitely had some tough sections. 199 riders are listed on the qualifying results page. Mick was wearing Dainese armor, and Van Dine's visor fell down right before one of the toughest parts of the course, causing him to wreck in his qualifying run. Travis Bond also made it out , but just barely missed qualifying.

He's gonna be a major player this year...he's ona new team with a much better bike, a lot more support, and much better training. Should be a lot of fun to watch!!
hope the kiwi girls heal and get back in shape for the worlds
it would be a pity for them to miss out on such a huge event at home

Mick is wearing 661, not Dianese. I talked to him today ( he was calling for his contingency check!) and I mentioned the message board was hot as to whether he could finish after qualifying 1st. He laughed and said Rennie said the same thing. I forgot the exact number, but I think he said it was only the 2nd time he had qualified 1st so he thought it was funny that everyone thinks its so much more.
Yeah I saw that too. Pretty bad ass to be ripping that well still. People talk about Peaty being the only Old Skooler, but Markus was around even before Peaty I think...bcd said:
And Warners been around for ever and a day as well
He's still fast as hell. He was at all the German races I went to and I was suprised with his speed that he wasn't top 30 world cup material. Turns out, he was..
