She’ll have a team of lawyers waiting for her at the bottom after a case like that
Hahahahh
I wish they would unleash Lord Warner again and film some more Dirty Business.
Gwinner has smashed wet races in the past. I doubt he could win in the wet or dry these days. I doubt he would win on his home trails if there was a WC round there this year.
There is nothing wrong with that bike. It's just that Gwinner is missing the last couple of % to make it on to the podium. The question is, will he ever get it back?
It's a mental game as much as anything.
He does have the quality to win the EWS overall, I just don't see him doing it because of the single series focus a lot of other guys have by the way. I'm not bagging him by saying I don't think he will win either overall.
Dan ain’t far behind though,
should be an interesting competition!
Props to both! Is there footage of their runs anywhere?
Unfollowing Redbull Bike on Facebook for ruining the results (I thought DH was always on sunday??)
Huge congrats to Loris-- it's been a long time coming
Daprela is kcrushing it in his first elite season !
At the end of the Redbull broadcast they incongruously shoehorned in an "increasing diversity in MTB" section.
The colour of your skin does not determine whether you can ride a bike or win a race.
The lack of diversity in cycling is not because people are guarding the entrance to bike races adorned in a white hoods and brandishing nooses.
Go buy a bike, get really good at riding it and then look for sponsorship. With the way companies are trying to exploit the diversity angle for marketing you should have them tripping over themselves to hire you. *cough cough, Commencal purports to support diversity but why are all your riders white!? P.S. f*ck off.*
MTB IS NOT RACIST! Take your contrived, entitled, woke bullshit and stick it so far up your arse that you feel you've never rode any other saddle than a Burgtec The Cloud.
Too expensive to travel? Injured?
