this isnt in freedom units nor freedom talk
It's teh german eeeh!
Space time continuum = Loic
Thunderstorms every day in the forecast with less probability for the weekend. But still exciting.
Val di sole was never raced in the wet, because, ääähm, Valley of the sun.
Another preview of the track. No dust.

193 bpm, Heart rate. Nice!
and he was standing in the finish area while moving with more than 230km/h...
For those of us that don't speak italian, what's that in MPH?
No unit converters in USA available?240km/h = 142,9 mph
1 km/h = 0,6214mph
Also:
0°C = 32° Fahrenheit = 273,15 Kelvin
20°C = 68° Fahrenheit = 293,15 Kelvin
100°C = 212° Fahrenheit = 373,15 Kelvin
1 liter [l] = 61,024 cubic inches
Update:
It's definitely going to be wet. Maybe no rain on raceday as the probability for rain during the week sinks to 20%, but definitely not dusty like in previous years.
Heute = today
Morgen = tomorrow
Donnerstag = Thursday
Freitag = Friday
Samstag = Saturday = Raceday

didn't you learn anything at school? not even how to google?
I was just dutifully playing the ignorant american to soothe sethimus' napolean complex.
Well that worked out flawlessly, haha!
I call Minnaar for the win. The smoothest limo driver in town will win over the super gnarly rockhard suspension taming™ in case of wet Italian ruts.
But I am not sure what the Godfather has to say about RockJeebus...

Another vote for Minnaar here, plus one for Rachel taking the girlie prize home.
I don't know how it's different but I hate Saturday racing.
^^^ Damn that looks so good. Time for Bruni to finally pull off a win, but I suppose Gwin will just straightline to victory, no matter if it's wet or not.
lots of great links up in hurr: http://m.pinkbike.com/news/5-things-world-cup-dh-val-di-sole-2015.html
Hill is going to open up a can of whoop ass
Hey, hey, hey, WTF? 6:00 on a Wednesday and no Jackalope commentary and no Claudio preview?
Unacceptabru!!!
C'mon Claudio, suck it up and ride the wet course.
C'mon Jackalope, crack open your wikipedia for some random facts!

Awesomeness will happen, that's for sure!

Weather update:
Not sure if the spikes need to be cut at all this weekend. According to todays forecast, the track will be soaked. Damn, that will be nasty.

It's good on an F1 weekend though. Val di Sole Saturday, Spa-Francorchamps on Sunday.

Claudios run was on the redbull site, now it's down again. Did they have to censor it?
