And Eddie WTF Masters!!!

Had a chance to ride with him for a bit at EWS, he’s fit, strong and fast as ****. I think he works pretty hard at the image, to make people think otherwise 😆

Glad I checked on here I was scrambling around wondering why I couldn’t find the live stream on red bull TV. It’s a pretty poor show not putting on at least the latter part of the ladies.

For those on Red Bull the top 5 women go out at the start of the broardcast, I’ll be back then

is it on any virgin channel at all?

Is Rob Warner on the Grecian 2000?

@ninfan 🙂

Ladies on now !

Radness in my household as I’m doing the ironing 😳

Where the hell are you watching it now?? I don’t mean where are you, but where is the stream!

Thanks!

Peaty go 🙂 edit: jist realised that wasn’t live

Live now

Minnar has killed it on that run

Minnaar’s time was ridiculous… can you see Gee going that quick?

I do find it odd that they insist on “baggy” clothing for the riders to maintain the image of the sport, but they let them ride down in kids pyjamas 😯

Ah, that was awesome, the reaction shots… Minaar buries face in hands, Greenland claps and cheers, Danny Hart just quietly smiles like a serial killer 😆

Greg Williamson just took my special line! No, not in the woods, riding round the jump at the wall

He is going to hurt shortly. Monster crash

They make it look so easy that every time I watch this I think ‘I could ride that’. Today that lasted until I watched Claudio’s run down the track…

I’m sure most people would rather watch them in pyjamas than having the sight of a man in lycra inflicted on them 😆

I reckon Brosnan.

do the public get to ride the track?

56kph! That’s the fastest I’ve been on the road bike let alone the mtb.

1. Minaar 2. Hart 3. Brayton at the mo. 4 to ride.

That run by Brayton was right on the edge, fantastic stuff.

62 kph by brosnan. Bloody hell!!!

That run by Brayton was right on the edge, fantastic stuff.

Yeah, totally edge of the seat stuff.

Gwin goes 2nd.

Masters been there done that 😀

Ooooo. Sore nuts after that one!!!. Sat on top tube for 30 yards

do the public get to ride the track?

Most of it- a chunk of the woods and hte big drop are usually closed off but the rest stays open. There’s some other bits in this year’s track that might need alt lines though I think, interesting to see what they do with some of it.

Riding it like a pro is a different thing to just riding it, mind! But it’s a great trail just to ride even as a mortal.

Go Gee ….

Oh dear gee!!!

That’s not gone well.

Tell you somehting, Minaar is class- Danny Hart’s congratulating him and he’s still just watchin the screen to see if Gee’s alright. Good guy greg. Mind you it’d have been nice if he’d won by a bit less 😆

I tried to get somewhere near his and Wyns strava out in Roto, wow just wow

Just saw his commitment to not seeming to be too good “Aw ****, I’d better have a massive comedy crash!”

Danny Hart, ever the professional. Not put off by the group of lads mooning at him near the Strathmore advert near the top!

Oh and big up Tracy Hannah, great 2nd and another that must be trying to make donations to Rachel’s pension fund…

Theres a good reason they dont show more of the womens – its dismal. Getting 3rd place with 20s off the pace and a crash, top 10 place for 40s back.

Mens race however was as competetive as usual, only Minnaar with a significant gap. Great run, smooth when he needed to be, and getting some strong pedalling in too.

@fife sadly you are spot on. Credit to Manon for trying flat out as its clear she can be second or third without really trying

You have to think that growing up with her two brothers and getting to train with them has just put her on a different level. Also probably really helps thats its all just normal whereas other lady riders possibly feel rather different. It would be fascinating to know.

Greg Minnaar, legend. As an all-round rider on the “Man’s Tracks” he is probably still the best.

Some massive offs by other riders (Jones, Masters, Brannigan and Atherton) as well. Luckily they all walked away relatively unscathed (given the nature of some of those crashes, probably against the odds).

Also a bit of an emotional day. Peaty’ last World Cup and the Stevie Smith tribute run.

I hope they can all now have the piss up they deserve!

Also, big congrats to Rachel Atherton. Nine in a row!
