How to watch Olympic mountain biking this Sunday & Monday

That said, I would not be disappointed if Koretzky won this, he’s done a flawless ride and a Frenchy winning on home soil would be great for the crowd.

Koretzky rolling some of the jumps now suggests he may be flagging a little.

TP up to 2nd? The man’s an absolute machine!

Turns out I CAN descend like Nino!

I can’t help that feel that, although Koretzky has ridden a really good ride, had TP not punctured he wouldn’t be in the lead…

They’re averaging a fraction over 24kph (15mph)!

That’s the sort of speed I average on a steady road ride. Bonkers.

@thepurist we’ve all been there with the tripod of doom!

I think base on Ninos socials this week he’s just enjoying the tail end of his career, happy and proud to be there. Well earned.

Turns out I CAN descend like Nino!

LOL

Come on Tommmmm, jesus he is catching up like the terminator. I hope he’s got something left for the finish.

Got him… Come on Tom.

Hatherley has quite a good sprint if I recall, hes a fair bit bigger than TP.

Race: ON!

How many matches have they all got left?! Tom must’ve burned a few bring back the gap, but Victor isn’t looking great – Hatherly the dark horse?

I can’t help that feel that, although Koretzky has ridden a really good ride, had TP not punctured he wouldn’t be in the lead…

Yeah, it would have been like the women’s race, a 3 minute lead!

YES TOM!

Tom looks on fire, Koretzky might be broken here. He was shaking his head.

what the actual F is happening!

What a rider, he is flying. A joy to watch.

This is brilliant. All 3 are still in contention.

nothing boring here

The games are starting at the bottom of the first climb! all 3 together for final lap! Wow

Go on Evie!

Which outcome then?
Koretzky demoralised having seen TP puncture then fight back right up to the wheel…
TP blown to bits after his fight back…

?

Hatherly might yet get this. Hiding at the back, taking his own line.

He can’t drop ’em, can he? Oof it’s tight

What a time for me to need the toilet!!!!

He’s really trying to ride VK off the wheel but he’s stuck like glue!

WHAAAATTT!!!!!

Eek!

Wow Koretzky, massive effort. Super Human that!

This is mental

The Speed! Holy Crap!

Christ this is tense!!

The way they’re taking those descents!

Ooof the pass

OOfffff

WTF

What a ride

Ooh that was close. I can see a complaint coming about that one

Ooft!!!

Yesss!!!

What a race!
