Happy viewing 🙂

saw it live.
ouch at some of the crashes, and busted wheels – how did that guy ride to the end with a wheel like a pringle? (in the bit at the end)

The format still needs a bit of work but I think it has potential. A few more passing places needed on this weekend’s course I thought.

Lopes must be kicking himself for that mistake at the start of the final.

cheers for the link
much better then last week but still mostly a procession
do you reckon Lopes’ “holder” couldn’t hang on as he built the pressure for the start ?

Liked that course, far better than last time. Actually seemed to need some skill, rather than just legs.

Big step in the right direction! The last one was so dire it was hard to see how they’d managed it tbh.

What I liked about this one was that, sure, you might say it’s not proper mountain biking since it’s almost all on tarmac but you could put on something like that in most city centres- very little purpose building required, a ramp here, a jump or a drop there… Imagining a saturday night one in fort william town centre!

way better than the last lot
who is the shouty excitable guy commentating?

There’s more on today as well

That would be good, the pubs would be much quieter if folk were outside watching that pish 😉

Watching? I was thinking of open entry. Watching other people ride bikes is rubbish.
