It's not the same in English. You won't feel the crushing blow when Pauwels drops his chain or the hysteria when Sven DNFsStuart wrote:Or watch it on the UCI YouTube channel in English. Also with the womens race, featuring one M Vos.

Hmmm. I think Svenness might need a different focus this week. Van Der Holeshot has to be the main topic, no? Unless it's Pauwels and his ability to drop a chain at will? Or Niels falling asleep onthe start line. Again. Unless it's cool (Svenness) ways to walk back to the pits? Yesterday he shouldered whereas when he pulled out of the MTB test event at Hadleigh two years ago he walked it (see below)Stuart wrote:Ah, we had to pause it a few times. To make dinner.

Im not sure what Sven-ness lessons we learned this week. Apart from keep going whatever happens. Unless its the penultimate lap when you suffer your 3rd or 4th major setback and its a long walk to the pits.
I wonder if he had a 3rd bike waiting in the pits?
The women's race was enjoyable too.
You had dinner after that feast? Respekt.Stuart wrote:Ah, we had to pause it a few times. To make dinner.
I've watched a couple of times and on the example they showed I'm not convinced he even used the brakes. Great ride though!Stuart wrote:
I'm not entirely convinced that discs were so superior on that descent. Sven seems to have no problem on it and VdH looked a bit shaky on the last lap.
Yep. Recipe for disaster with my skills. So when would a step through be beneficial? If you're dismounting near a right hander? I dunno. A BC coach had Molly practising step-throughs a few weeks ago and she seems to have just about nailed it (still working on the remount, mind). I think I'll stick with the other way for the time being unless Bruce tells me off.LeonardDelicaet wrote: Step through scares me, I tried it once coming into some steps made of railway sleepers and I tasted tarred-wood.
