Fuck sake Lachie in 32nd.
Put him in my fantasy team this week, was a bargain for circa $48k

Interesting the gap in times from the top 3 to the rest. Will be a great race tonight. Juniors is going to be loose.

Ben's stuff is fun to watch.

A Frenchie won the "ghost cam". So there's that.

Ritchie. Doubt his heart is really in this (In track walk when asked why he was doing it, he said ask my team manager. LOL), but good to see him in DH action.

You know, cuz I'm American and stuff. Wonder what bike he's running? That's a pretty gnar track. So as far as I know they make a 170mm rear travel bike at maximum? And slap on a DH fork? Not sure.

so confused...is bernie in or out? his vid implied out but then i watched qualis on youtube and he seemed in???
He's a DNS from Qualies, which would be he's out completely as the protected status wouldn't carry any weight. Like Finn last weekend, he still started his runs but pulled off the track straight away to get a DNF (both in Qualies and the Semi). The DNF then allows the protected status to be utilised.

Pub was full. We were sat next to very loud two gay blokes with wives who were clearly experts on the game. well... they certainly knew all the facilities at lots of football grounds anyway. then two germans fully face painted who watched the entire game with their aerms crossed and simply raised an eyebrow each time Germany scored. next to them a geriatric bloke who I honestly thought was going to have a heart attack at every referee decision. next to him the local knuckledragging xenophobe who wouldn't stop going on about France cheating by playing a team full of Africans. bizarrely the rest of the pub was full of families with their kids and dogs.

After the red card. Germany coulda easily scored another 5 if they'd just played like they did in the closing minutes. For a massive nation with a long history of international success Germany are rarely an entertaining team to watch

tuned in during Dunne's run. Kinda bummed I missed Loic and Dak's runs. Was wondering if anyone could match his time. But watching Amaury come down was crazy. He was visibly quicker than the others through the tricky corners (which ones... I know right?! what a course!!!).

Also gonna give a shout out to the media team. That drone shot half way down the course really showed how gnarly and technical the course was, and really showed how good the top riders are...

Didn't watch wimins. Just saw the podium. Fantasy team got top spot and 4th A MOAR EEE and Hatton in mens... wish Lachie had made it to finals! not just for PB fantaseee points. Just love seeing that kid ride!

Josh is a way better commentator. Anyone know what Ric has? I'm hoping for an incurable but not lifethreatening throat infection or just stage frightitis

Yes Brother,he was skooled,like Everyone else. DNQ,DNF,injuries,the whole lot of them. Then you have Top 10 and a huge win by a man who no one gave a chance at this point to win after his injury.

You just came off Harsh with “Fuck that “, I was just saying everyone got beat up. Simple.

Amoury has been firstpick on my PB fantasy league all season.. I honestly thought he'd have been up to speed earlier..
My "Fuck that" wasnt harsh at all. I can't say I ever feel sorry for professional sportspeople getting beat fair and square Sorry. Not sorry.

Can't say I really care about it either. My point was. I had him down to take another win this season. Same reason I chose Myriam. They both podiumed today. I see her winning again soon too
