DH World Cup thread

Bit slow on the uptake, me.

If this is your new speed, we may have to consider a name change to "Divorce Lawyer" as you'll be too late for anything else.

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...

saw that this morning on PB was like oh..

 

[JP-NZ]

Loudenvielle is such a great track, huge weekend this one!

 

[RustyMTB]

Lobbing Troy in for the weekend on the purely superficial basis that I have discovered a band from Melbourne called The Belair lip bombs who, despite the name, are fantastic. You gotta have a system.

 

[Rockhopper70]

That’s some logic!

 

[ozzybmx]

Belair

Thats where I live in South Aus, a good spot for riding, literally 10 DH tracks within 500m of my door.

If TB could keep with his usual in the past 10yrs, he'd be top 3. Praying for him but it will be a hard ask in France with the Frenchies and with the current talent. Go Troy !

 

[RustyMTB]

Troy is a decent bet in general I think, Mr. consistent, not always on the podium as we know but almost always in the points. Someone somewhere will have done crash stats & my guess is TB's are super low.

 

[Rockhopper70]

I’ve set my team now in advance of going away. The only one I might have to sneak a review of is my wild card to use my remaining £180k balance.

 

[Rockhopper70]

Looking at Dakotan Norton and checking his form on the official UCI website, can’t decide to put him in either the men’s or women’s team……

 

[RustyMTB]

Uh, Pivot have had what can only be described as a hefty upgrade in the pits department.

 

[JP-NZ]

Wonder if that will help their on track performance

 

[chetly]

is that Pivot money or BK money?

 

[HandsomeDanNZ]

I am looking forward to maybe picking up a point or two in this round of the DH Fantasy League after just missing the cut last round.

 

[RustyMTB]

is that Pivot money or BK money?

BK money is Pivot money but I'd take a wild guess Cocalis stumped up for that. the VIP brass & rope barriers are a nice touch, presumably there to keep the hordes at bay after they sweep the podium.

 

[HandsomeDanNZ]

Just watched Mille Johnset’s crash in practice. Holy shit. I can’t believe she was back on the bike again later.

 

[TheSnowShark]

I have access to English channels, which one do you watch ?

Thanks

 

[RustyMTB]

Bruni out my fantasy team guys. 14 hours left to switcheroo.

TNT Sports?

 

[TheSnowShark]

Mant thanks @simonali19

Jackson Goldstone DQ in Q2.
Terrible week for him.

 

[RustyMTB]

DQ's in both qualys I think. Evens out with no Bruni but could be very good news for the riders chasing. I'm looking at you, Asa.

 

[JP-NZ]

Goldstone & Norton being out will drop a few points for some.

Another happy qually with all 6 riders through for me. Cant wait for racing tonight!

 

[RustyMTB]

What I went with. Antoine Rogge being the I'm skint final pick. Four out of six & so so on qualy pints.

While dust created carnage in qualifying, there are thunderstorms scheduled between 12:00 and 14:00 on finals day, which could create more drama. Hopefully, any threat of rain won't make for unfair racing conditions.

Dumb mistake to fault on your second serve.

 

[ozzybmx]

Asa Q2 run.

 

[ozzybmx]

I watch on TNT but some times it lags, also a working live feed on twitch.

 

[RustyMTB]

Shiiiiit.

All on Amuary now for me.
