Hill had a decent run this morning, his first real world cup DH run in 3 years. 2 seconds back off of Minnaar and he's looking for seconds walking the course late into the evening.
Selected by Ian Hylands - Sam Hill, is he back? Only time will tell, but this picture is awesome, it tells a lot of the story of this weekend in Val di Sole.
@bikeounet - 7th may not seem like what Sam was aiming for, but it's one of the best results he's had in a while! I think it's a sign that he's back on "the hunt"
Yep sure, it's not that bad, but he did wayyyy better... But you're right... He fell a few times, he hurted his shoulder badly... Maybe he's on his way to the top again
I'm calling on that BS because he hit a tree and there are photos of where it happened and it is just a loamy corner that he crashed on. He hit a corner too hard. so I'm guessing he went over the berm and hit a tree.
His brakes gave out on the steepest part of the track and he smashed an 18" deep loam rut at full speed and got sent into the brush. There was no berm. Just very very deep loose ruts and a flat corner.
I've heard many things! But pictures make a thousand words! But it's CG we're talking about here, he'll be up and Nac-Nacking everything in no time, I wish him a speedy recovery!
Hill's run looked absolutely sick on the replay... roost everywhere and some really choice lines. Good to see him back on form, even if slightly off the pace.
