His bike…

Isn't he on record as not liking the place?

Should have got carbon rims. Hope he's not too hurt, always bad to see top athletes injured.

is that actually his bike, sure he runs boxxer's not marzochi's and aint his bike green and black?

Those are Boxxers!

Its like when a MotoGP/Superbike guy complains, you know it was a big one and it hurt.

Unlike Football*

* – insert poncy sport here

That is a boxxer.

black stantions on boxxers?

DT Swiss – cheese……. 😯

Blackbox boxxer

DT swiss – cheese? Suggest a rim that might have coped with the crash he had?

now, y'see, if he'd been tubeless he'd have ridden through that one

His saddle's a bit high innit?

Poor Sam, it doesn't look like it's his year at the moment.

Hope he comes back quick!

Happened just below my marshal point, medic attended but he was ok, just pissed off with himself.

Ok, maybe I was wrong, qualifying today and he only went to Marshall point 2 before pulling over. Hopefully just "resting" it.

Would they scrap the frame as a precaution after that in case it took some unseen damage in the crash?

was there yesterday, are there still a very large number of riders flatting? Could not believe how many there were on practice runs limping over the finish line!

I would imagine that will be written off.

I don't understand why there all not on tubeless.
