I think it would be only fair for every nay saying internet “expert” who thinks it looks lame and too easy to be forced to race it too and receive a good hard knee in the knackers from every lady who chicks them.
It might not be technically hard in that its not 100% rock garden ridden on long travel skill compensators in your pyjamas but it isn’t trying to be. This is what they call XC racing and is a test of a combination of skills and a fairly serious chunk of aerobic capacity.
Agreed.
I think the coverage was fantastic, far better than the MTB XC from the world cup series. The course seemed well thought out given the area and seemed to be either up or down so no rest for the riders. Certainly more exciting than race walking and definitely more of a sport compared to Golf which is apparently going to be in the 2016 Olympics (internet rumours).
