That’s going to be another grosse déception pour les français. They had three real hopes for a medal.

Watching on Estonian tv so had no idea what is being said!

Not got a chance to read through previous posts but this seems more technically challenging than London course…? Plus extra heat and humidity = very hard work!

Remind me again why mountain biking races aren’t TV/sponsorship friendly? This is great to watch!

I’m glad they’ve told me it’s the Olympic Games, here in Rio. I’d have been lost otherwise…

If she mentions Schurter’s “little mishap” on the previous lap again, I might scream!

I love mountain biking, but this I think is far duller to watch than the road race.

Think the Spaniard is saving a bit for the finish sprint now.

Edit: obviously not

You are applying so much pressure, pressure, there’s no need for you to apply pressure to her, there’s already so much pressure in the race, why do you want to put any more pressure?

Wonder what will become of that Olympic MTB course afterwards, it looks good – I mean it’s bloody tough and would need some dumbing down as they did with Hadleigh but they’ve obviously put a huge amount of work into it.

That slammed specialized bike is a terrible advert for 29ers.

Well done to Schurter! I saw a programme about his training regime, which I thought was pretty impressive!

Nino on fire this season I though Absalon would do better especially after he tore the field apart at MSA 2 weeks ago but finished behind those riders today.

What a great race. Really enjoyed that, and pleased to see the comedy Spaniard get bronze, he looked well chuffed.

Given STW have declared the course a glorified blue route there sure seem to be a lot of pros that have crashed.
