I think that crash may well end up on the video of the event. I was marshalling at the rooty section of stage four, and I was quite surprised there were only two big offs there, and even then the riders were up and away in seconds……….I was tempted to chuck some water on the roots to make it more ……’interesting’
I learnt lots watching the fast riders tackle that section!
I went over the bars on my practice run at the end of those roots. Found there was a tree where i wanted to turn. Had a look from then and got it nailed, low in high out. Then binned it on a part of Stage 1 that Id looked at after taking a highline and washing out. only a second off so not too unhappy
Good event everyone, well run and a nice transition. Bit more climbing and flat in the stages than last year but some more tech stuff too
Perhaps more stages and less flat stuff and climbing?
