True... 26 has nothing to lose and it would be quite funny if 605B's bubble burst over the course of the season (at least for DH). Really funny to hear Claudio rip on Mitch for the 29er during his course preview
Just cause 650b is there it doesnt mean you have to use it - fact is theyre just using what they can to win, like brendog said there was a time when they were wishing for 9" of travel, now its bigger wheels and less travel, but theres a much broader range of tracks on this years circuit, something to test everyone. Wait for Windham, the real test will be there for the big wheels, tight, technical and short. If youre happy on 26" stick with it, if you wanna try 650b then go nuts.
Ha...and gee also finished 8th at the bds and qualified 18th yesterday...lol.....say what????!!!!! So i wouldnt be to quick say that. Plus this track is different, its pedally, hence why guys are running lighter and bigger wheeled bikes. Theres a 40 second pedal section
PMB is certainly becoming a "proper" DH track these days! Maybe not old-school, straight line down a mountainside, but between the new rock gardens with no preferred line, some of the highest top speeds of the entire UCI circuit, and plenty of gratuitous airtime, the racers look to be liking it. +100 to the builders.
I was expecting Aaron to come back big, but Gee in 15th place and Manon Carpenter 9sec+ this was not my vision :o I thing it will be an exiting world cup to watch
Wow that's nice to know thank's bro for the info. It's not nice that rachel is sick, or that Gee crashed, it's nice because there is a good reason, I hope rachel will feel better tomorrow and that gee will stay on his bike
Yeah I agree, especially cause Manon was still 9 seconds up, which is typically how much Rachel is up by. So Rachel might have some hardcore competition for once lol
Whenever I watch WC runs I can't help thinking that the GT under Gee and the various V-10's just look so smooth and dialled where others looked slightly short and awkward... of course the rider on top also helps
Thanks for sharing! ...but I think you missed the thumbnail. The qualifications have been posted on pb for about 4-5 hours now. I thought you were representing vitalmtb, you know, like a letter. From bmar. haha.
Im sorry but what on earth was that music? Hardly appropriate for those younger rippers out there. And before you say it, im a 19 year old who likes all sorts of music, but the message of this one was hardly a good one! aha I had to turn it down to enjoy the class footage,
