It must be pretty awesome being that nasty. Talk about alien, right? That's completely ridiculous.

Who has the overall now, Peat or Hill? It has to be close.

yeah....Hill is the next generation Alien.

 

[Jeremy R]

Stik may even be a fanboy now.

 

[scottishmark]

if Hill goes near the top of the podium Matti should smack his ass back down! Hell of a ride but thats racing (especially if Matti sandbagged)

 

[beesonutah]

I don't know about sand bagging, but that might be a great tactical race plating out for him.

Agree !

 

[nugget]

Peat must have been really lucky.. Sam was so close to him, and matti for that matter.

Lets see podium pics.. All clean but Hill..
LOL Classic!

 

[dw]

Peat's got the overall lead by 18 pts. Crazy the difference between 0.03 seconds.

I can't believe Sam was only 0.03 behind Peat, nuts.

Maybe Nico crashed.......

I think a lot of top riders must crashed......


Where are the videos!!!!!!!???????

 

[luiz carlos]

CRAZY

 

[scottishmark]

CRAZY

it is indeed. the only time i can remember another ride anything like that is Pascal a few years ago at Grouse, and that was into 5th place

 

[luiz carlos]

Don't forget....this was in one of the hardest tracks on the WC circuit in years.

The podium pic will be funny.

 

[dbp]

Sam Hill what a FREAK!!!!!!! He was proven himself hands down as the best in the business!

 

[ÆX]

man i hope someone got some video of hills ride.

wow

The race is shown on tape delay via the host broadcaster I believe.

My kid gave us a gift, let us sleep in till 8:30, just woke up.....I am confused? major Sam Hill fanboyism going on in here, but he got 3rd?
explain....looks like Matti, Peat, Hill?

 

[Transcend]

sam went after/during torrential rain that destroyed the course. no one cracked top 10 after the 35th rider or so (mick hannah was last into top 10).

[Whoops]

what a race!

thanks www.vorb.co.nz and jdog for all the live photos!

 

[ridea]

weather had an insane part to play (6 seconds between 4th and 5th) but props go to Adam Brayton and josh Bryceland. Did mick hannah and barel come down in the rain or was it kinda intermediate by then, barrel allways struck me as a dry rider. Hill won in my book.

The qualifying results somone posted doesnt work anymore so i cant work it out.

 

[Transcend]

I guess it was a bit muddy?

How long has Hill been on SCOTT goggles?

end of last season i think

Since this season.

 

[roastbeefer]

any descent pics?

 

[Transcend]

Give it a bit, most photographers are still stuck up on the mountain. Flipper has promised to fire some over for the Transcend Gallery.
