Yay! Go Tahnee

They’ve mellowed out the kicker on the big table

live stream?

men’s on red bull tv at 2pm

the women have been down already?

Anybody else having Redbull tv drop out every three minutes all of a sudden?

it’s on Bike TV live…. channel 251 on my box thingy

Cheers Alpin.

Jack Moir’s recovery!

Incredible recovery!

Awesome

What does a yellow number plate signify? Fayolle has one.

Series leader maybe?

Danny Hart chainless..

mr kerr!

Wtf is it with chains at Leogang? 😯

Amazing riding by Kerr and Greenland

Greenland might have nicked it if he’d pedalled at the finish!?

That was **** fast

Loving this one but still think Gwinn will take it if there is no drama

foot out drama, but no drama

😯 😯

A worthy Gwinner.

Gutted about Greg’s mechanical. I’d have mailed the PB fantasy contest if he’d gone fastest.

I wouldn’t have believed that possible after the previous runs.

It’s a good job track is too easy and not tech enough to create differences or Gwin might have finished half a day ahead 🙂

😀

What happened to Loic?

Hob Nob – Member

The Thirion crash was savage:

And that right there is why my bikes never leave the ground 😆

What happened to Loic?

Hematoma in his thigh according to the commentary. Did he crash in practice?

must have done. Thanks for the update.

Is it a little embarrassing for the bike in a WC to be snapping chains? If it was a new tech I could understand it but im not sure I fully get why it happens. Am I wrong? Is this something that should be possible to snap with 5 rotations of the crank?

What problem was Greg having?

Was it something to do with rear shock lockout on the left grip area?

Greg is still about 40pts ahead of Gwin in the overall now.

Unless Danny gets on another winning streak, it looks like it’s between them at the moment.

Was it me or was there a huge amount of mooning today? I think I must have seen at least 4 people and probably missed quite a few!

As for the mechanicals, is just that they ride the bikes so much harder? Chains snapping under too much power, riders getting quite a few flats? I know I ride like a pussy, but I’ve not had a puncture for about 18 months!

Bummer – I didn’t see any bums at all!

Although people call it a bmx track etc, the forces going through the bike are massive due to the speed.
I ride there maybe 6 weeks a year and there’s nowhere else I can think of where you ride that fast for that long.
Where you go into the woods again after the 2 big wooden berms and the GoPro drop is pretty rough and I’m hitting it probably around 25mph so go knows what speed the pros do.

Not sure it’s possible to snap a chain under too much power, if the chain is in good order? Just on the basis that a pro track lead-off man or a road sprinter can put 1500W+ through a chain, with violent acceleration, and it’s fine.

I think it can only snap if it’s deteriorated, like a rough shift has slightly bent a plate and caused a weak spot, and it’s prob hard for the mechanic to spot.

Debris in the chain? Last snapped one I had was a tiny twig just changing the alignment about 1 mm

Would bet that the pro bikes get new chains for race runs. The chain was probably just damaged during the run

Good point Garry, I’ve only snapped chain in cross races when all sorts of junk has been caught up in the chain.

legend – Hart’s snapped on the start ramp. I think someones last week did too.
