Any non-Britians finding it hard to understand? I had to keep adjusting the volume. But I guess we are to be made to feel that we are all getting the inside scoop on what happened. I did wonder what happened to Ratboy when I was watching the race.
@domo-kun same here. If you turn the volume up loud enough to hear the guys speaking, then your ears start to bleed when the music starts playing. It would be nice if they would equalize it a bit more.
The syndicate are not a team anymore remember, Their kits are too offensive to the UCI Governing body. and i think I saw some Helmet cam video in there. UCI will be coming after you pinkbike. I would watch my back if I were you.
The pro riders can use helmet cams during practice if they have filled out disclaimer paperwork during the weekend for the UCI. There was loads of radio chat about it at FW while i was marshaling, ratboy forgot to get his paperwork done originally.
I hear that santacruz had their trade team status pulled because they were caught engaging in the ceromonious sacrifice of avacados, dunno if it's true, but it's from a reliable source.
I like how Heath just says he had a bit of a mechanical and he couldn't finish. Instead of saying ProCore exploded and left his rim exposed to the rocks and roots. Well played sir, but I've seen through your facade.
This new series hits me totally flat. "This Is Peaty" was so much more fun and entertaining to watch- what happened? Where is the madcap, ragtag band of pirates storming the castle* that we've come to love over the past seasons?
* Yes, I do realize pirates probably didn't storm castles, but the metaphor flowed so I went with it.
I do like having more Minnaar in there though. "This Is Peaty" always seemed to overlook him for the most part. I do understand that it was a show about peaty and his long lost child Rat Boy but still.
Sam is out with a shoulder injury - he'll miss next week as well and hopefully will be back soon after. Sucks. Really thought this would be a banner year for him.
