I'm no IronHorse fan here, but has any other bicycle company won 3 world champ titles in the same year?
Sunn, about 6 0r 7 times....I'm no IronHorse fan here, but has any other bicycle company won 3 world champ titles in the same year?

0.64 I think (it's on here somewhere). Really close. I expected Hill to win, but I am very impressed with Barel. He always turns it up for Worlds, but with the injury and all his run must have been pretty amazing. I did not think anyone would get that close to Hill.So I guess IH bikes will be all the rage for yet another year.
How far back was Barel?
I am, of course adding in XC, and with Martinez and Dupoey, not to mention Gachet in DH you have a whole lot of gold medals...Sunn did it 2 times at most, 1998 for sure and maybe '97 if Pascal won Jr. that year.
maybe another year if you add xc and miguel martinez to the equation, but that's a different sport altogether.
Isn't Fabien just coming off an injury too?0.64 I think (it's on here somewhere). Really close. I expected Hill to win, but I am very impressed with Barel.

I don't know if you were watching but did you see his line through that rock section they kept showing most of the riders go through? It was like he used the rocks as a dirt jump transfer effectively doubling up sections, transferring from the riders left line to the right and getting backside on the exit, accelerating out. Amazing. I wish I could see it again. I have renewed respect for that fast frog!0.64 I think (it's on here somewhere). Really close. I expected Hill to win, but I am very impressed with Barel.

Sam had a crazy ninja line through there too, but the camera didn't really catch it. you can see it at the beginning of the footage from the helicopter. those 2 guys came out of there with more speed than anyone by far.I don't know if you were watching but did you see his line through that rock section they kept showing most of the riders go through?

Heh - I was just making a joke about the "ass-less" skinsuit... I know they had skinsuits last year but one of the elite men had a bad wreck during his race run and tore the ass of his suit open... can't remmeber who it was though...skc they had skin suits last year too
No but I heard about half the crowd boo when Fabien lifted his arms in that same interview.Maybe I'm hearing strange noises, but did anyone else hear booing at the end when Sam had the quick interview? Could have been hooting but I dunno.

I somehow missed that in your post.That's what I was referring to.
What awesome too is to see their are some youngster pushing behind as well! Floriane Pugin cleaned the junior girls by 30s and is just 10s out of Tracy! At least we know there is still going to be some good racing comingstoked to see little tracey hannah on the podium! i tell ya, that girl is gonna take over the women's scene sooner than i originally though!
You dont even make any sense. Im just back from the race and let me tell you that it was fvcking brilliant! The atmosphere was unbelievable, who gives a toss if it rains. Its just water you know, it wont kill you. Fort Bill has been consistently voted as the best round of the World Cup for the last few years. The riders love it, the fans love it so please think first before you post such cr@p.Sorry GB guys...but Fort William is a BIG peace of sh1@#t place.
Since 2002 the first WC race there and is always raining.
everytime Rennie rides, the almighty one kills a dozen kittens. i look at this picture and think fire and brimstone for some reason....
I heard booing for Hill and Barel, pretty poor form.Maybe I'm hearing strange noises, but did anyone else hear booing at the end when Sam had the quick interview? Could have been hooting but I dunno.
I thought hooting, but hard to tell. Anyone who was there care to comment?I heard booing for Hill and Barel, pretty poor form.
