I saw that, the mud guards are totally clogging up and bringing the bikes to a halt. They should run them higher /hindsight

 

[Zimmerframe]

Small fracture in her foot which won't require surgery.

That was hell out there today for them.

Most of them can't be run higher. Only really the CRUD can...

Many fair weather fairies wouldn't ever know how badly the current crop of under the arch front guards can clog in sticky mud...

Be interesting to see if Matt Walker runs hids own guard or a CRUD. Matts dad owns Rockguardz

 

[R120]

Got to say Vali has serious cohones to send that jump in those conditions - I think only her and Tahanee sent it out of the women in the wet sessions

Pierron ran an Eddy Current at wet races last season

 

[Gary]

Gonna have to watch the re-run of the womens' (I only ever watch the last few live).
Tahnee was 10+ seconds up on Camille at split 3 (mind you, so was Mirriam)

 

[R120]

Yeah she fell off, not badly, but ended up slipping down about 10 meters and having to hike back up in the mud to get the bike, thats hat killed her run

 

[Gary]

Johannes has no motor or FATSUIT this weekend.

I is sad

 

[Gary]

few folk running no guard in the no hopers

 

[Gary]

anyone else think Loris' run is gonna be wild?

 

[R120]

Remi Thirion like a wild man

 

[Gary]

Remi is a legend. so good so see him back being wild.

Loving that Bulldog is gloveless HTFU in evidence

 

[Gary]

OMG REECE COULD DO IT!!!

 

[Gary]

Loving that Bulldog is gloveless HTFU in evidence

Thought he took one off after he slammed the second time.

no way you can hold on with a glove palm covered in mud

 

[Gary]

Well it's gonna be BLUE on the top step

 

[Gary]

There's a little bit of BLUE on the Auzzie flag too, eh?

 

[Gary]
