 Congratulations Steve you thoroughly deserve this - You are a living legend in DH. Sheffield Steel has just turned GOLD Peaty Rules,you better believe it baby.
  • 4 1
 Well done Peat but i am pissed off, got up just now to see if the replay of the race was on only to have "look who's won" plastered everywhere, would have been so much better to watch it. Oh well, should have just ignored sleep.

 Lol same here.

 yeah i know, i saved hearing about it until i got home, load up freecaster and the screen is full of the results. that sucked.

liking the flow...not too technical here. Unlike Ft Will. Lets go Peaty!!
And local favs. Dean Tennant & Rob Fraser bring it home guys!
Congrats all!!! Can't wait to see the replay!!

 if you go to freecaster's mens replay you can see most of robs run (second rider in the video) and a bit of Deans.
  • 4 2
 Great this is an historic day for Peaty, and all DH riders .. congratulations!!! Greg almost ruined steve's big day haha !.. also .. was the most important race, everybody trying shorter bikes, lock shocks, single crown .. World Champions in every detail (but the track)
  • 7 1
 No one deserves it more than Steve Peat!!! Git Sum Peaty!!!
  • 5 1
 good job Peaty!!! he was waiting for this for so long!!! that was intense!!! the hot seat was definitely HOT starting with Brian Lopes! and than Rennie and then Barel!!!

 I'm almost as stoked on smiths top 10 as peatys win...

 yea, hes been a consistant top 10 all year.

 For sure! Top North American as well. Seems like US and Canada showed up for this one more than they have in recent memory!!!

 I have been watching Peat since he started long ago and this guy is just amazing showing getting older has no effect on his outstanding performance. He's going to be right up there with the great ones but he hasn't quit yet. Wink

 I bet Wariner is still upside down on a bar room floor right now!!! best sports play by play call I've heard, EVER. listenin' to Rob practically brickin' himself during Peat's run and Minaar's split times will go down legendary for me.
JUST F*n GREAT!

 Warner was definitely in the zone. Andrew Neethling's on-air appearance was pretty sweet, too. He definitely knows his sh*t.

 I feel so proud to be british, Peaty displayed true "Heart of the lion" attitude to stomp his way onto that podium, It makes me want to wrap myself up in a St Georges cross and ride through the centre of town wearing only the flag and clutching a pint of ale.

 congradulations to steve peat. first time he has won it in whole time he has done downhill. good on ya
  • 6 1
 YEAAAAA STEVE!!! I was craying like a baby, YAAAA!!!

 Sir Steve Peaty me thinks.....

 Happy for Steve and also for Rennie. I know he didn't finish as high as he'd like to have, but 7th place is pretty good when you look at the people in front of him - how good they are and how much younger (except Peaty, who clearly has the fountain of youth in his back yard) they all are too. Hope this gets him back into fighting form. Great race, best world champs ever. Graves gets his due in front of a home crowd too and for Steve, anywhere in the world is his home crowd!

 The race announcer at the finish line spoke to Peat just after he had won. After the quick interview was done, the microphone was left on and those of us standing next to a speaker heard this:
SOMEONE (to Peat): What are you going to do now?
PEAT: Go out and make lots of little Australian babies.

 hell yeah peaty!!!

  • 1 0
 the news did bout a minute of coverage at like 7 oclock this morning (i was about to go out to work) it was basically like "congratulations to steve peat on becoming the world champion downhill racer" and then they had some comments about what downhill is... the actual race was about 3:00 this morning maybe
  • 3 0
 Watched it on freecaster, peatys run was sick! way to finally get the win haha
  • 1 0
