I **** myself when I saw that. Congratulations to Steve.
Ok. He's won everything. Now he can retire. Haha.
Brook Mcdonald wins Junior Mens on a DH bike, as does Peaty.
Top 3 in mens on DH bikes
Fabien Barel took all the risks, weapon.
Sam Hill proves what hard work and clever training can do, in 2008 at Canberra Sam was over 9 secs down on the win, 2009 4th place, +2.71secs down, he will be gutted though, no medal at Worlds for the first time EVER!
Gee Atherton needs a new coach, he has looked flat adn tired in every race run this year. Same for his brother, their REDBULL coach should run and hide, over-training? I'm just speculating but he had Dan Atherton doing sprints just 2 days before 4x finals, heard of some tapering?
Sabrina Jonnier will be gutted adn destroyed. As will her team mate Cam Cole.
Greg Minnaar put his long Aryan legs to good use, almost got Peaty.
Nathan Rennie in the top ten, 7th ain't bad but he wanted more
Jared Graves is pretty amazing, 4x World Champ then 12th in the DH. How would it feel to be a paid DH rider specializing in DH getting smoked by Jared? Graves is an amazing bike rider
Mick Hannah and Barel both looked immensly gutted. Hannah needs a World Cup win.
Will Brian Lopes be pleased with 18th? Not bad for an old dog.
Finally...Steven Peat. World Champion

What's with the toy ducks at the awards ceremony?
The most epic world championship in recent years. Jared Graves, Steve Smith and so good to see Kathy Pruitt on the podium.
I can't wait for the replay as I only got to listen to it.

Huge congrats to Peaty! A hell of a long time coming.
Congrats also to the big man Rennie! Yeah boy!

great post
on the Athertons... don't you think guys in their 20s can handle sprints 2 days before a big race? we're talking about races that run 1 min for 4x, 2.5 mins for DH. I dunno, probably I don't appreciate how hard they ride, but I remember doing sprints in college lacrosse the day before games and it never made me feel lead in the legs.
this just made my week! So stocked for peat! It was a close one two, I was jumping all around with my friends when minnaar came through... hahaha epic!
Steve Smith would have won if it weren't for the molester-stache.
No, Gee needs to pull his thumb out and go faster if he wants to win; end of sory. blaming the coach, really? please.
So psyched to see Peat win one, been crossing my fingers for him for 13 yrs!!!
Goddamn awesome...the guy is inspirational 
Apparently Barel turned up to the start gate in a sleeveless top. he was made to put on sleeves!
Wow...what a race! .05 near-miss by Minnaar nearly made me crap myself as well. So glad I was able to witness one of the greatest moments in mountain bike history - F*CK YEAH, STEVE!!! Thanks Freecaster, VitalMTB, Transcend and anybody that was responsible for providing us with the stoke!!!
Neethling was pretty damned awesome in the booth, btw!

+1 on all of that!
Pointing at the camera is the new hotness
You need to settle down in your replys big dog, you reply to anyone and everyone like they are children, I've been around quite a while now and seen and raced against lots of the best at many different races, probably just like you, but I however don't feel the need to assert my supposed superior knowledge of professional bike racing on every misguiding dip**** poster in her, you need to settle down, wheter you are correct or not.
I was in no way saying guys only problem with getting wins this year has to be his coach. I was stating from what I know from his training and what I saw first hand at more then a few races this year that Gee consitenly looks flat and tired in the finals and to me (Seen as I do have Sports Science Degree) that maybe his coach is prescribing some training modalities that just aint working out.
I agree Gee needs to go faster, but part of picking up his pace in the technical and less so sections comes from his training and the feeling of sharpness a solid training and recovery programme should give you.
So basically settle down when replying my posts, I aint some squid fresh in from hucking his nuts on his Bighit.
Men's replay up on freecaster
I agree there coach is a little intense, but YES sprints two days before the WORLDS. I'm guessing you've never trained for any sprinting events.
Fabian would have won.........if it was the World Champs of All-Mountain, HA!
and it seems like you were trying to ass-ert your cool knowledge of racing as much as genital lee.

Enjoyable posts Akula, well said.
Still can't believe what happened last night. I had been to every world champs from 90-2004 and was so glad to have witnessed history LIVE last night, thanks to all involved in getting that feed, it was flawless all night, I would have burned the house down if it hiccuped while watching, but I got to see Peat become world champion.
Pretty much can shut the internet down now, nothing else matters in bike racing.

Is all the atherton coach sucks posts stemming from his appearances on the reality show thing? I want to assume he is playing a bit of a role on that show no? because I hope no one trains their athletes like that.
America DH world overall points, placed USA in 3rd with Cody, Kyle and Lopes. Behind 2nd place of GBR and winners of AUS.
Pruitt grabbing a medal is cool too. USA chicks has not got a DH medal since 2001 in Vail.
