Game over for Kileen.

WHat tyres for Hadleigh Farm?

Looks like Liam is out… 🙁

Wonderful – HD slo-mo, F1 style, of XC racing in tv. Brill!

it’s not bad for a XC race

Re nose drilling. If anybody fancies it, I charge £10 per nostril. Variety of drill bits to choose from and you get to state whether you want DeWalts hammer action or not.

Please form an orderly queue

so..? 29ers are best for gnarcore essex riding 😉

I’ve come round on the course. It’s not a natural course, but an exhibition course which you want for the olympics really. Does look like it would be good as a spectator.

Absolon out!

Ok thanks for the tip. 🙄 Obviously I’m not entitled express an opinion that may differ from yours.

What’s the Spanish moustache riding?

Only if they’re 6″ travel freedood ones.

bruneep – why is it dull? 🙂

if Killeen had been wearing STW standard issue trail centre body armour…

Bummer, possible broken ankle for Liam 🙁

Not in the new post teej stw 😐

The speed they are going at is crazy, they make the snake climb look flat. Massively faster than the women too.

Is that Manuel riding for Spain?

“It’s not a rat it’s a siberian hamster”

Q.- Have I missed a TJ Flouncathon ? and he is no more?

the guy on the 650b pulls away on the twisty rocky stuff from the guy on the fs 29er

tjs been banned for life

doesn’t appear to be a cafe at the trail head, no CAKE?? 😯

Was going to say the same as cheers_drive just above: they’re absolutely motoring. Wouldn’t be surprised if that’s a 15mph average.

What’s the Spanish moustache riding?

Probably a Merida.

I suspect that’s more due to the fact he’s raced wc DH as a junior rather than a 1.5″ difference in wheel diameter 🙄
Edit.I meant Schuter not TJ btw.

Reckon they should have put some table tops in , or at least some worthwhile drop offs

Is this your first time on her since the 90’s stm? 😉

Number 8, white top, pinkish helmet, loves styling it up over all the little jumps!

Looks like there is plenty of space for more spectators.

A lot of that course looks a lot like a trail centre….don’t think that’s a bad thing either.

It also looks like its flippin tough too 8)

ooohhh – handling skillz coming to the fore now.

I was all for criticising the course for being a 2m wide track through a field, but I’m enjoying this!
Can’t complain at MTB being on tv either, good camera footage and those slo-mo shots are really good!

Nobody appears to be calling ‘Elite rider coming through’ at any point 😀

Or yelling “strava!”
