[Closed] World cup spoiler

bakes

doesn't mean we have to like it... or that it makes it fair
it was all so well set up to be a great World Cup with so many contenders, a whole week of practice in the dry and then a couple of showers in the last 10 minutes of race day spoils it.

Fair? Ignoring the fact that Hill was out for almost the whole season with injury - it was clearly raining heavily when Hill started his run. Warner said as much in his commentary, you can see it in photos from his run -

The track was wet for all of the top men. Hill has shown time and again that he rules in the wet. Imo had he gone last he still would have won. Neither he or the weather "spoiled" it. If anything he made the event even more sensational.

Bottom line is Hill may not be the fittest or most consistent rider in the world but he is the fastest. Take your oil.

GW, that was me, and at the time I acknowledged (after a while) that I'd got it wrong. Out of interest what does the **** represent?

From what I could see Hill had the rain as well, though there's an arguement the track wasn't as cut up. That's racing though.

I just think that Hill is a div and don't like it when he wins

Hill was fastest in every split, Well.. 0.02s slower than Stevie Smith in split 2 (You do you realise the split times aren't 100% accurate)

here's the track for your expert opinion on how to argue exactly where it was won or lost. 🙄

starts with "tw" brycey.

Thought as much. Make you feel the big man does it?

It had only just started to rain like that when Hill came down though, look how clean he is there.

By the time Gee and Peaty came down the track was cut up and both riders were sliding around, Gee spent most of the run with one foot out unclipped.

I'm just disappointed for Peaty, Gee and Beaumont because the track looked like it had cut up over the last 10 runs, just giving my opinion based on what I'd seen...
... and my irrational dislike of Sam Hill 8)
