Start List
MENTIONS: @officialcrankworx
I think that's part of what makes Andorra so good to watch - the flatter bit and motorway section is at the start, so the final half that we see in coverage is the super gnarly steep sections.
Basically any track intended to be televised should consider this. Do whatever you need to do to make up the length at the top, I don't care - but stick all the gnarly shit at the bottom pls.
This isn‘t some dudes doing a livestream on fb in their free time. This is supposed to be a prestigious mtb event, and I think it‘s fair to critically review the livestream accordingly.
PS: Also super awesome to see Cathro up in 13th ahead of some big names!
Mighht as well randomise fantasy team choices.
Rant rant rant
Same thing. I regret not saving a screen of the start list posted a couple of days ago - that one didn't have Matt Walker from UK, but in the end he was actually racing.
Harrison , Greenland and Bernard Kerr were on the start list, but were not racing, even though they were on the list on live feed.
I got reasonably good points after pumptrack, but it turns out it won't count. 2 hours of refreshing waiting for the roaster to open - wasted.
Generally - it seemed that PB cares about drawing people to this Crankworx game, well guess what - I won't be playing any more, it's a joke.
Wish me luck!
I WOULD HAVE WON
You’re being quite unfair to the staff.
"1 Run - no seeding run. Start order will be based on a combination of current UCI rankings and past World Cup DH rankings, Crankworx World Tour DH Series Rankings and results, and other relevant results."
So, there will be neither quali, nor TT.
