A lot of us still have 5 or 6 riders in the finals could be a points extravaganza for round 1... or wash out as at least 3 picks on each team are the same

 

[RustyMTB]

Five for me & three of those pickup qualy points. Could be a good weekend. The track looks very one line in large part. Never seen anything so loose & simultaneously off camber. Reckon we'll see a good few offs once they give it the send.

Anyone clock the Russian privateer on the hardtail? Don't think he qualified.

Asa had to overtake him in his quali run. Didn't seem to slow him down.

Sad to hear Wyn Masters had a hugey and suffered AC seperation and a broken radius.

Hope he can still make it to 100 starts sometime in the future

Oh man . that sucks..

EDIT:: If you watched the wyn q2 interviews it seems he wrecked b/c he was going to land on the HT guy..

And he wasnt happy about it at all..

 

[RickBullotta]

The time zone in Korea has to be having an effect on the USA riders. Hopefully they'll be all jacked up on RedBull.

 

[RustyMTB]

Going to stick my neck out & suggest this course doesn't suit Jackson Goldnuts

Morning lads.

 

[ozzybmx]

Morning lads.

What a race ! French domination with an Asa cherry on top.

 

[VWsurfbum]

I was up to watch the mens, but was too early and caught the end of the ladies and saw the results without seeing the race
Thrilling race.

 

[RustyMTB]

A fairy tale perfect weekend for Asa. Never get a second chance to win your debut. What a guy.

 

[RustyMTB]

Worth noting that were Aletha Ostgaard an elite rider, she would have beaten Vali by nearly a second.

 

[Zimmerframe]

Well, I'm succeeding in my aim - make everyone else feel good about themselves !

Not sure what everyone elses tactic was, but mine was to save money on salaries and use that to goto the pub.

 

[RickBullotta]

I told ya Asa was for real!

 

[JP-NZ]

Even though it was prime time viewing for me. I didn’t catch the race. Well done Asa and well done Rusty. Can’t wait for the next round

Guys, imagine how many ebikes Frameworks could sell right now of they made one

Sold out!

Me and my new baby watching the race! That was an awesome race!

I got 46th in the VitalMTB fantasy league.

 

[RickBullotta]

Not a great showing for Specialized tires. Oof!

 

[ozzybmx]

For us with no subscription (I may have firestick)... Its nice to watch live but the replay of DHI, XCC and XCO on Tiz is awesome quality and uninterrupted by buffering or ads.
My shift work means I'll probably only see around 50% of the races live anyway so the good quality replays available the next day are just as good. Just go social media blackout if you want to sweat the winner in.

One race down, still plenty of time to join the forum league.

Let's face it, we're all so bad at this, anyone could come in for Loudenvielle & run away with the overall.

 

[RustyMTB]

First call for Loudenvielle, time to give your team selections a glow up. And I don't want to alarm anyone but there is an interesting entry in the women's race.

Of course this doesn't mean she's actually racing but it also doesn't mean she isn't & if she does...

 

[Rockhopper70]

I’m going to add a disclaimer right now, that I’m away from Friday and won’t be able to tinker with my team after timed practice results. So I’m forced to choose now, and be damned.

 

[Zimmerframe]

I tinkered with mine a few weeks ago, but only in the aim of being the winning loser !

 

[Mario Antony]

Mud... mud...
Meanwhile, I'm sweeting my tits out!

Too soon after birth of her second surely. But I pressed her on this subject last summer and she said very unlikely.

 

[RustyMTB]

she said very unlikely.

Reckon. Would be great though if she turned up & did another mic drop.

I was at Dyffi on her last win, watched Qually with Dan. Very cool. I think she only went because she knew her stalker was coming to Dyffi.

 

[RustyMTB]

Eh? She has a stalker? I don't think that nonsense is wise what with her having those two big units for brothers.

It was me.

 

[RustyMTB]

Bit slow on the uptake, me.
