[Closed] MSA PSA - World Cup Downhill resumes tomorrow (Sat)

Shanaze Reade and Rachel Atherton tear up the Team Sprint in the 2020 Olympics....awesome, wonder if it'll happen!?....didn't Reade win World Champs gold with Pendleton a few times in that event?

IMO Rachel was ill/under the weather for most of last season now she is back to fitness. I would like to see her, Neff, ACC battle it out in the EWS with T-Mo.

Great result for Bryceland should be great for his confidence (if he was lacking any!) that his injuries have not slowed him down. I'm always confused by Hart, he looks fast, seems to do everything right but ends up going backwards down the field - is it because he's a smaller guy and over the longer WC courses that makes a difference in how much he can pump etc - sort of the opposite of Ratboy?

Edit - can someone please give me a link to the series points stamdings etc, the one on the UCI site seems to include last years results as well as UK BDS etc?

Some really interesting stuff out the differences between Greg and Ratboy

is it because he's a smaller guy and over the longer WC courses that makes a difference in how much he can pump etc

He's (slightly) taller than Sam Hill, so I'm going for "no"

Did she ever get a diagnosis for that virus that cleared up before every race where she thought she'd do well, then returned as soon as she discovered she'd been beat? Advanced Carpenter-Ragot Syndrome.

Judging by this years outstanding return to form I reckon it's bilharzia...
