 Heh, I must have the mind of a 7 year old, I thought exactly the same thing! From then on I just pictured Grover (Super Grover 2.0, actually) flying down the course Smile

 Always entertaining. Thoughts: Seems a shame they remodelled (one could say sanitised) the last corner as it seemed to catch a few people out last year while Gwin had an amazing line, and Remi looked very, very chilled.
  • 1 0
 Agree, last year it looked like Gwin was going to fly off the track when he took that corner. I would have liked to see how many riders would have tried that line this year.
