Shaun Palmer - 41yrs old, been out of racing for 10yrs, recovered from a torn achilles tendon and alot of personal problems, only been riding a DH bike for the last month, 1st race in years and doing it for fun & training. Coming 75th taking the above into account is certainly reason to give the man respect instead of slagging him.
All im saying is its bull shit that he was going to get a podium or even a top ten for that matter like ALOT of people said.
Yeah I agree with you about the chances of him getting a podium, and I wasn't referring to just your comment man. I think if he were to concentrate on a full season next year he may suprise us, or he could just focus on the Masters..
Nice one Graves, although that move by Alvarez was a bit mean taking out Rinderknecht.
And George we will find out what happened to Bernard, but still 8th is really amazing for a second year Junior who raced the DH earlier, yes he got lucky with that pile-up but he held off Ropelato well (who was bloody quick, shame he didn't do better really).
Well that was annoying. Had no picture but Warner and JD most of the way through so I could hear Rob shouting 'LOOK A THAT MOVE' when I couldn't because it wouldn't let me. I'll watch the main races tomorrow but from what I heard Bernard did good missed a load of the good bails. Never mind.
