You're right norconelson, I'm sure it's Cedric commentating! He's cheering for Gee cause they both ride for Commencal!

I have to say Sam HIll is still waaay better in my opinion i that guys my hero~!!~

samfr1000 (Jun 14, 2008 at 14:33)

No man, Gee Atherton.
He is British Riding at its best.
And it just goes to show that Sam Hill is not as mighty as he's made out to be, and there are more sports that the english can beat the aussie's at.

[Reply]

tudorm (Jul 17, 2008 at 0:07)

GEE is a very good rider, but SAM is better. but in this race GEE was consistent and focused. SAM was fast, way faster than GEE but he didn't managed to stay on his bike till the end. it was'nt bad luck for SAM.(bad luck is a flat or a brocken chain or snapped deraileur etc) it was his mistake of going to fast in a corner that was too sketchy for that speed. this is racing!
