BIKE Channel is showing it at 2.10 but will that be live?
They're currently showing a short film "presented by Rapha". It's mildly ridiculous.

Looks like the corner that Hannah went down at and Bruni binned it at last year is going to be a crux point....

Blimey, that weather blew in quick (mind you it is a mountainous area after all). Fayolle for the win or a wet/windy masterclass from Hart?

Such a shame the weather has spoiled the fun making such an uneven playing field. Rain can bring out the best but wind ..... 🙁

Seems like a great plan, better than sitting the season out.

So we've learnt god hates 29ers?

Well that was a load of shit, only positive is that 15+ riders were in the bad weather not the top 5 or something, so shouldn't effect the overall much.

So, to summarise:
Womens was sadly a farce as usual - 22s down gets a top 10.
Screw riding that track in the rain!!
Some good riders have a pretty good head start in overall due to conditions, wonder if any can hold on and take the lead to the end?
29ers? To be continued...
What madness made Vergier run a mud spike? I'd have thought in those conditions you want the biggest surface area you can manage?

I'd hardly call the women's a farce.

What on earth else do you call it with such big time gaps?
22s back in the Mens got you 67th, top 10 covered by 5s.

Its supposed to be a World Cup which implies a certain level of competition. It's a bit mind boggling they are even managing to attract sponsors when they are that far off the pace.
