UCI MTB World Cup (All forms!)

[kingjr]

well... that was rather boring and the coverage sucked big time. the course seemned more interesting in previews than it was in the race. meh

Battle for bronze was great

 

[glassmoon]

Puck got third off camera.

yeah... the coverage was really bad

Battle for bronze was great

yeah... but diredtor missed the crucial moment... amateurish stuff

Yeah... when Pieterse only lost a second or so on the last climb to the 2nd intermediate, I thought "you better stay on this " well, at least we got a 3 second slowmo

Sounds like Mona ran out of legs at the very end and
so Puck took advantage

PFP found her miracle form for the Worlds again. Can't help but think that we didn't see the best Pieterse today. In the first lap it was like she had too low tire pressure, so slow she went up the longer climb relative to the others. But if she's one thing she's a fighter.

Don't leave a gap and complain when a rider sticks it up the inside; it really is that simple. I can't think of any racing sport where that doesn't happen. It's quite naive, and a lack of racecraft......If it was Nino doing it, I imagine the reaction (and he';s done similar) would be different.

I thought it was fine, Schwarzbauer didn't defend the inside line. You see it in CX all the time.

Crafty race from Puck at the end. PFP is a WC machine. Give her a rainbow jersey to go for and she's deadly. Also, am I the last to know that she and Van Baarle are an item?

 

[King Boonen]

PFP is a modern day Bernard Hinault. Doesn't try to win everything but when she's wants to she's almost unbeatable.

Congrats PFP!

There is plenty of young talent (homer hat: including some USA ladies), but they will have to work hard to get the rainbow kit from PFP.

Bye Dictator David.

Curse of the rainbow

*** up his leg good methinks

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Bad crash for VdP

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Almost a rookie mistake?

 

[glassmoon]

*** esp - who cares for the u23 rr ffs?

 

[glassmoon]

mvp still embarrassing himself in the big MTB events?

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

VdP walking now. Does not look good though. Looked like blood on his face too.

 

[Ripper]

Bad crash for VdP

I feel triple bad for him. Firstly, and of course most importantly, is it sucks to crash and I hope he's okay. Second, with all the press given to his privileged start position, crashing out this early looks terrible for him. And third, is of course he is crashed out of yet another major XCO race.

Hope he recovers quickly so he can truly enjoy the rainbow jersey he deservedly won in the road race.

Bye Dictator David.

Be happy! The Great Evil of Mathieu getting a reasonable starting position has been corrected.

Don't know but man, it really would have been great if he did a protest and started at the back. Dude will likely get lapped
