ARE YOU NOT
ENTERTAINED?
WINDHAM WC ROUND 6 DH FINALSNathan Hughes // Matt Delorme // Brice Shirbach
| I was the best because the crowd loved me. Win the crowd and you will win your freedom - Proximo - GLADIATOR |
| So good to be riding well again, having fun on the bike! I really liked the track and I got into it straight away so things just went well for me from the off. - Neil Stewart, FMD Racing |
| Oh man, I'm just over the moon. Martin had to tell me a couple of times before it sank in that I had won the overall. Could not be more stoked! - Laurie Greenland, Trek World Racing |
| Knowing from the quali that I had the overall I think chilled me out a bit and I wasn't too worried if I crashed any more. All year I didn't push so much just in case, but this time I didn't really think about anything I was just smooth out of the gate, having more fun than I've had in a race run for a long time! Val di Sol will be interesting for sure - the gloves are off now and everyone will just be wanting that end of season win - Rachel Atherton, GT Factory Racing |
| It feels really strange because Loic had the puncture and I'm really stoked about my result. It's mixed emotion, want to cry but I can't haha! It was a cool really to be the hotseat so long, but my feet were starting to hurt sitting there! I thought this isn't my type of track at all so I thought I would just try to go fast and now I'm third somehow... I don't understand haha! - Loris Vergier, Lapierre Gravity Republic |
About the Photographers
Matthew Delorme • Age: 40 • Years Shooting: 8
Matthew DeLorme is just one of Pinkbike’s motley crew of World Cup Photographers. He currently lives out of a Ogio bag, and calls the road his home. Delorme works for Trek Bicycle, covering their MTB racing programs. He can usually be found laying in the dirt trackside, cracking jokes and saying things that make little to no sense. He enjoys capturing accessory moments and the journey every bit as much as catching the action shot.
Nathan Hughes • Age: 28 • Years Shooting: 2
Nathan Hughes was snared as mainstay Pinbike media crew for the 2013 World Cup season and has been trapped behind the lens and the keyboard ever since. In between the biggest bike events of the year Nathan can be found on client shoots, making far-off travel stories and trying to catch a moment to spin the pedals himself. A great appreciation of the wilderness, the fear of a normal life and the quest for the perfect picture will have him hooked and looking to raise the bar for years to come.
South America = Continent
United States of America = only country in either continent with "America" in its name, hence why it's citizens are Americans.
How is that so hard?
@takeiteasyridhard it might be a shorthand for "United States of America", however it´s still not right. But I dont expect u "americans" to really comprehend how rude it is this situation.
@northstatebiker if you think my argument is baseless and insulting, think harder and deeper thats all im gonna say. Linguistic customs can not be an excuse for the misuse of the word "America/ns". It was u from the very beginning of your nation who chose to call your it and yourselves that way. If that and the outrage of dozens of nations have suffered by the egocentrism, disrespect and stupidity of ´Murica means a baseless insult to you, then you're one reason why many humans on planet Earth strongly dislike your people. Go America!!!
Part of the issue that takeiteasyridehard is bringing up is that there isn't a good alternative in English to refer to people from the USA. Alternatives have been proposed but none have stuck. Come up with a good one and promote it!
As for what you said to me, I don't think you understood what I said. I didn't make an excuse for the term or provide a justification of the term; I provided an explanation of its use. I did deny your explanation, which relied on false claims about the people of the USA and the others who refer to them as Americans. I also helpfully criticized your argumentative technique, though I see I didn't convince you. As for the separate claim about our egocentrism, disrespect, and stupidity, I'll pass. Have a good day, sir!
@northstatebiker great talking to you, so cool there´s still people to have smart discussion with. Have a good one mate!
I kindly reminded him this is a biking website...

Really was looking forward to seeing his run even though he wiped out, but didn't see it on the Red Bull stream when I finally had a chance to look last night. Is there anywhere that captures runs that aren't in the main stream, or is it lost to the ether?
As for myself, I'm not disappointed what so ever. I have some consistency to figure out but it's good to finally know about where I stand. Hopefully ( if i have the budget) I'll get to do some European WCs next year.
I actually didn't take a look at who makes it and don't think it's sold to the public (sorry!!), but if it is, it would probably be sold through the USAC website.
Hope that helps
No DH jerseys though.
Breathtaking performance. I don't like him, but that was f*cking awesome. That skill! #stoked
