5. Gwin under fire (still)

A newly tweaked Specialized Demo has arrived for Aaron with a slightly longer back end which has only added fire to the rumours that he’s struggling aboard the big red ‘S’. He went out in qualifying and attacked with his extra 19mm of back end – an over the bars relegated him to 53rd. The pressure is (still) on…

Really looking forward to this one! Can Hill return to winning ways or will it be Gee again? Is the one for Stevie Smith? Joe Smith looking good for a podium? What will Gwin do this week? On the women’s race will Manon get her first senior win or will it be Rachel again? Maybe the French girls will mix it up a bit.

Very excited!

Kinda rooting for Manon, I wouldn’t be surprised if everybody had upped their home for round three.
What time (uk) is it shown live, in the pub and don’t want to miss the action.

Yeh me too. I can’t see Rachel/Gee getting beat tbh. We shall see.

Dismantle some parts from the bike, shower then settle down to watch it with a few beers. Bring it on! 😀

This reads bad in Oz…

Go Gee and Mick, but reckon it’s Sam’s track. Also good luck and smash it for Jess Stone qualified in 11th, great rider and raced with her at her first ever DH race

This reads bad in Oz…

Please elaborate 😈

quarter past two uk time, till about half four.

live on redbull.tv which is where i will watch the catchup this evening

rooting in Oz is something you do with your significant (or just met) other

Does anyone know what time the race is on?

Edit: damn my trigger finger is getting old

11 minutes!

No wait, 10 minutes.

Nein herr Northwind

Anyone know how long it’s on for?

Hill has a good chance if he stays on. Gee can ride steep stuff with the best of em, so I think it is between these two.

woohoo and we’re off!!

Rob Warner’s voice sounds a bit husky.

Locked in, Apple TV, Doritos and Hieniken.

Off to the turbo with the laptop. Seems like a good idea right now, will not in 10 minutes

Way to go Rach…..

Unstoppable this season!

Cunny: “There’s a big hole on the right”

I’m sure I saw two on the left.

Ooh, that was brutal

ouch…..

this track looks brutal

That was Rag-doll through and through…

Rach and Manon – rocking it for the UK! 8)

Pressure is on for Gee to keep up the Atherton doubles!

A lot of big names pretty far back on quali times, Stevie Smith should be much further up, looking nice though

That man seems to have fitted a megaphone to his chainsaw

Wtf is that chainsaw all apart… 😆

That crash was a proper rubber-neck moment 😯

heli went off ages ago, what’s the hold up?

looks like the helicopter is still above the track

*edit*must have been a delay in getting him into an open enough spot to safely winch him up

Just tuned in, who was it that went down?

oh yeah, he’s off now

🙂

cam cole, he went down hard!

Steve Smith still holding on! Love this track.

Oh, FFS !!

Wtf.
Tossers.

What? but…

You shits! I’ve got to take the chicken out of the oven at 6, and make gravy and shit…
