Only for the early runners.The top 20 get full coverage.

Unlucky Peaty!!!

What happened to Gwin? Looked like he was stuck in a really easy gear.

Some great racing there, gutted for Josh particularly crashing in the WCs two years on the trot.

Do the French girls get a group discount for their haircuts?

Missed it.. Anywhere online got it recorded?

Thanks!

What happened to Gwin?

Brakes pulled to the bar apparently

Doesn’t sound too fussed about Worlds

He was running proto brakes apparently which failed

Seems foolish to trial a component at the Worlds….surely reliability is the name of the game at a one off race?!

seems foolish to employ Monkey as your mechanic.

So far Gwins been left chainless and brakeless in finals runs this year, what’s next? 😆

Wonder how much the other top riders are paying him?

I thought that but speaking to the guys yesterday and today a lot of stuff is ‘prototype’ stuff. Was really interesting. From what I gather it’s not tested for first time at these events but they are used as well as during training etc.

gwinn does proto testing for shimano, bet hes not happy with them!

great runs from gee and minaar

well chuffed for the french girl that took the womens too

rob warners quote of the day…..
“greg minaar- faster than julian assange popping out for a takeaway”

I’m looking forward to watching the red bull commentary. I was listening to him interview Peaty and it was hilarious

Just watched the replay, or the last hour at least.

You beat me to that!!

What happened to Peaty?

He was up, rode off the trail into the catch fencing under a really tech section that many of the pro went around. Seemed that maybe his brakes failed, he shot down it.

Gwin’s been running those brakes all year. He was offered the production version but apparently prefers the feel of the protos so stuck with them.

some great interviews about Peatys last 20 years, especially the Jason Mcroy story.
