That last 12k yesterday was epic. The level those top 5 guys are at is incredible. If one is on the juice, they all are.

Watching the world championships. Will Big G’s race be televised on Monday

Dubman The road race wasn’t, so doubt the TT will be. Off for registration and a recce shortly. Feeling pretty good about it.

I’m watching the downhill from fort William now.

Same here. It’s pissing down as well. Absolute nutters.

Dubman TV dosn’t do it justice in terms of how steep and large the drops are. Balls of steel.

Cankles-McJeggings

Spoiled it a bit. The top guys might not be able to get the speed they need now.
I’m only watching to see if Bernie Kerr can take it. Big fan.

The UCI coverage is shite by the way. Not a patch on Rob Warner on redbull tv. It’s also not really live even though they are advertising it as. You’re only getting to see about 1.30 odd seconds of a 4 min run.

Redbull do extreme sports so well. Do enjoy Rob Warner. His YouTube channel is quite funny

Yeh I watch it. He’s hilarious. I met him in may with Elliot Jackson at crankworx cairns and he was funny in person too. I said to him so is there going to be a grand return for redbull? He just said watch this space mate. I dont know how long UCI have bought the rights for but all the riders hate it and so do the fans.

Dubman

He’s well into his emtb these days. I actually want to get one after watching him do the south downs way.

I’ve tried one and find them too heavy and bulky. I still like my hardtail too 😂

Dubman

I reckon you’d get used to it pretty quick. There just so expensive for a decent one

Dubman I’ve got one, they really come into there own for downhill/bike parks. No more sharing a stinky uplift service with a load of knob heads to get to the top of the trail.

Cankles-McJeggings

Yeh I was looking at a haibike a bit back and it was 4k. Not particularly high spec either.

My next bike will definitely be one. Still loving my Trek Remedy 8 at the moment. I do see more & more Emtb’s in my local area. I used to get annoyed when going up steep sections and one would just glide past me. I’ve been told that i’d go out a lot more & in most weather conditions.

I know. I met a semi-pro rider a while ago working in a warehouse i was delivering to. He’s broke his neck and numerous body parts but still goes to all these bike parks & whistler bike park in Canada. Still absolutely fearless.

Dubman I’ve got a Santa Cruz Bullit. I really like it. It’s an expensive toy though.
