 Dam.... Troy making that look too easy. I have been very fortunate to have chances to ride with alot of pros local and a few world class. Already know they make everything look terribly easy while we white knuckle trying to keep up. He is the local so more preasure but would not be suprised to see him with the win saturday.

 Specifically - there are no player controls, no way to view in a full size monitor window, and no way to select the streaming quality. I.E. Red Bull must believe that the vast majority of their viewers are using small format smartphones to access their site, so why bear the cost of delivering 1080p when the average peep is only 'seeing' 480p on their tiny screens. At least that is my theory. ;-)

 @ad15: I am running a current PC build on Windows 10. I have tried both Edge and Firefox with the same lack of player controls. So, if you have controls then it is probably a common plug-in that I need to update. Thanks!

 Not a single "oioioi" or "where am I going" from Claudio this time. This must be an easy track then.
  • 8 0
 I was thinking he looked slow and out of sorts in a lot of spots. Especially with Troy blazing through seemingly without much effort, I'm thinking this track is a tad quirky, at least for Claudio.

 It's because this time the Frenchies weren't around to dig out all the mud from between the take offs and the landings. That's how they are, those Frenchies!

 More like he was too scared. Prob thinking to self...I gotta quit doing this shit.

 Claudio is so awesome! I think he does the best job of anyone in the MTB video world or relaying his excitement when he cleans a jump or obstacle. I could watch his vids all day long.

 I second this...although Claudio can be in there too along with Ratty and the rest o the lads...train.

 @Potok: this track is in the wet tropical bit of the country. At a work project of mine just south of cairns we get approx 3000mm of rain per year on average.Of course most of that falls in the wet season between nov and march

 If it stays dry, I have a feeling this truck is gonna jump up and bite a few guys come race day. Their gonna be pushing hard and this track looks to favor consistency.

 It was interesting to hear Claudio describing the sections of the track from some of Troy's input (e.g. recommended line choice, where the track may be won or lost)

 i LOVE when DH races end up on flat sections like this one. It's always a treat to see the racers struggling to pedal on these bikes ^^

 What amazes me about Claudio is he is able to talk going as fast as he does. There is no way I could do that. He must be so incredibly fit.
  • 2 0
 Yeap, Im thinking about that too. It's a really hard to shread fast and not just speaking but be so funny as he is)
  • 1 0
 Claudio is normally reasonably fast on the previews but he genuinely struggled with this one. Troy was playing about big time with whips and skids......or maybe Claudio was just dodging Drop Bears........

 thanks again Claudio, too good!! HE'S TOO FAST!

 I honestly think that the main reason I get excited for WC season is less about the races and more about Claudio

 saw the numbers, and tought it was not a real hard gnarly track for the pro riders... but after watching this, i think it´s suitable for the WC!
