    French chap in fourth, what are the forks? Blue stanchions.

    Edit – great minds!

    Is the Moo Stache part of Trek’s 2017 range?

    I think the number board will be more aerodynamically detrimental than a little facial hair.

    Maxime Marotte (french dude with blue fork stanchions) is riding SR Suntour Axon forks.

    Marotte and Koretzsky race for BH Suntour, so some proto for an Axon as a guess. Ah, beat me to it

    Its a Whip! Tailwhips are something else that would require some interesting geometry for an xc bike and less less cables attached to the handlebars 🙂

    No idea about the blue forks but I think he won the gold in 2004 and 2008 so thats quite an effort to be here in 2016

    Oh and the ‘annoying’ female presenter is Rochelle Gilmore who owns and runs the womens Wiggle-High5 pro road team..
    I think she’s actually doing a pretty good job considering she’s obviously been drafted in as Chris Boardman has come home.. loving the ‘moosetache’ 🙂

    The commentator said nino was on a softtail……is that correct?

    Commentator “Kulhavy never had a bottle on his bike”

    Next shot? Yep. You guessed it!

    Soft tail = rear suspension in this commentary context.

    She’s not doing too badly, having been roped in at short notice.

    First time I’ve heard the term “soft tail”

    Surely, with the potential for mechanical problems, these kind of races can be best two of three, points races.

    Frenchie into 3rd – they like that on France-2

    There was enough controversy when they initially introduced the tech and feed zones.. ‘It’s not realy mountain biking unless they carry their own tools and fix their own mechanicals’ but it has led to better racing.
    To make it a best 2 from 3 would mean having to shorten the races to something more like a sprint race unless they run them over several days.. these races are damned hard and the riders are wrecked by the end..

    Some events just have a bigger part for luck to play I guess, especially equipment sports.

    Not so surprising seeing as they have three prospective podium finishers in this race.

    Nino’s making it look like he rode 5 laps with Kulhavy just for the company.

    Gosh, so Olympics are different because they only come around once every four years. Great commentary 😯

    Verbal diarrhoea

    He’s a man who knows how to win mtb races – its awful drivel

    Machanicals: up to the riders to pick the kit and decide how light they want to go.

    Ouch Austrian in a bad way – no party pack padding either

    Nino is a beast, just wait wait wait then open up the taps, crazy speed up the climb.

    Wiggles yes there have been a (token) whip or two

    My point was there is a big difference between a whip and a tail whip…
