    Even in Olympic MTB there’s still time for a little whip or two in places…. 😉

    Love the fact they are racing flat out, and still put in a little tweak over the jumps for the camera!

    They are going like ****. I remember watching the first world cup at Dalby – the too ten or twenty men in the world really are a different class and when you see them
    Absolutely tonking up the sharp climbs its extremely impressive.

    All the niche bikeness of STW (29er, 650, Lefty etc) with half the bodyweight and 10 times the speed and skill!

    I think Hermida is on 26″ wheels. He’s gonna win 😉

    Actually, I think this makes it pretty clear: its about the men, not the bke they ride. Full sus, 29, 27.5, 26 they re all up there

    29ers? 650b? Pah! Call that niche?

    Why has no one turned up with a singlespeed surly Pugsley or a Jeff Jones and loudly telling all the other competitors that is just sooooo much more real? 😀

    hehehe… just had chat from the OH that it looks more like sand, and they should have some proper muddy rocky riverbeds in there to separate the men from the boys…

    niche retro gumwall effect tyres dugast tubular tyres as well.

    Which is why the word ‘effect’ was used.

    No – really – I thought he had a set of Farmer Johns on 🙄

    Article about the course for any that are interested. The competitors seem to find it hard going anyway.
