24 in a 29er frame mightn’t have been a bad thing
Every bike looked like a fat bike at one point!
We watched the top 20 riders come through the bottom of the mud section the commencal riders had a massive advantage as they were the only one more or less riding their bikes, didn’t realise what they’d done but it makes sense as the meta frames didn’t look that great for clearance normally
The scott rider was behind them at that point
The only other rider to be able to ride was the team Giant guy on the Glory he said it was heavy enough to plough through and had loads of clearance
Certainly was different this year !
