Click to the end of the pics for some (graphic) images of how Batty's leg looked at the end.

Jesse's what?
XC course looks gnarlier than the downhill!
They wouldn't crash on such a tame track if they rode suitable bikes.
Awesome looking course!
Hell of a cut on Batty's leg!
OUCH.....
No, but then they'd never qualify to ride world champs on a more suitable bike either.
Does make you wonder if there's possibly demand for larger front tyres in softer compounds for XC racing though.

Be using apostrophes where they are not needed.
An accurate tribute to Jacob's Ladder needs more walkers in the way, TBH.
That cut will have stung when it was cleaned out. She won't be bending that knee for a couple of weeks.
XC racing has been petty good to watch the last couple of years. I really fancy having a go on some of those courses.

You're not the first person to say that.
The feed didn't help, they didn't show the woop section or any jumps (if there were any).
What is up with that leg :0

They're called muscles...
Thats one hell of a cut Emily Batty got on her knee.

The woop section had gaps and doubles in it, Nino was clearing it all happily. but there wasn't much room for cameras in there.

Camera angles trust me on that, I walked up Jacobs ladder on the way to watch the Juniors and the stuff above is tough but there are much harder bits on the DH
Hahaha look at their silly clothes and helmets though.
