2011 world champs Champéry - Switzerland

I have no idea why its not working for me.
When I originally clicked on the links and clicked DL I was downloading the DL manager. Now that has DL'd It is still only DL the manager everytime I try DL the file. I have no idea why its doing it.
OK I worked out what I was doing wrong, simple school boy error. Instead of clicking "click here to start downloading form sendspace"
I was clicking the bigger download button on the left hand side. All good now rar files are downloading.
Thanks for getting this up indica

Yep, your spot on mate - there were no lines for the Juniors just slushy, greasy mud and anything solid was like riding on ice! It actually stopped raining just after Junior Men for quite awhile & thats when the ruts were formed but even so it was mad & as I said earlier, there was no easy way down!!

Haha yeah that was classic, and earlier in his commentary that same guy said he'd been following the sport for 20 years and seen it all! haha.
EDIT:
I noticed in one of the VitalMTB slide shows that the Athertons were running a different length linkage in the V3 to give a more linear shock rate..
Does this indicate that the bike needs further development, or just a tweak for this race? Gee hasn't had the best of seasons.. is the bike part of the reason? Two mechanical failures at World Cups???

Cause wheel and tyre longevity is directly related to how linear/progressive your rear suspension is.... :dejection:
The Athertons have been running ultralight (For DH) wheels and tyres this year and it just hasn't paid off.

Well if the rear end is too stiff it could put more force through the rear rim? Anyway just a thought. Wonder if they will stick with that new linkage or if it was just a one-off, but if they do stick with it, will it become production? In which case those who have already bought a V3 will be feeling a bit short-changed...

Brendon and Sam both mention the track improved by the end in this video from Specialized-

Although im not sure on Sams comment wether he ment it was better or worse??

He was very boring, but I remember seeing him at the 1996 worlds in Cairns. It has at least been 15 years.

-The progressiveness of the suspension curve due to the current V3 linkage is not going to cause a noticeable decrease in Wheel/Tyre longevity for the Atherton's over any other World Cup racer.
-Gee's mechanical at Ft Bill was caused by running Stans Flow rims, (470g/rim) which while strong for their weight aren't up to the intensity of a rider like Gee or a track like Ft Bill. In Mont Saint Anne, Gee ran folding tyres which again were probably not the right choice for his riding style or the MSA track.
-Alson, Gee runs his rear suspension pretty soft compared to a lot of the men, especially Gwin and you don't see him with the same problems in race runs do you?
-I'd imagine that the linkage was a one off to deal with the steepness of the Champery track. If it were to go into production, I'd imagine that it would be retrofittable with the current frames as it is only the linkage that is changing and not the other parts of the frame.
A 11second difference, im not so sure. Sure everyones speed increases in the dry but a 11 second gap shows alot of talent on that track dry or wet. I do think it would have been much closer.
Also considering his pause up top which lost all momentum and his little moment further down.
If the worldcup is anything to go by his already playing with and beating the big boys. Going to be a good season next year im betting troy will be in the running for the Worldcup title. Thats my tip anyway.
When gwin went down he was 2 seconds behind hart so he was loosing time on hart, hart also managed to continue to expand his gap on the field the whole way down. Although its impossible to say if gwin didnt crash I would put him 6second behind Hart. Gwin is ahead of the rest and Hart was on another level again in that race.

Finally got around to watching it thanks to the freecaster free replay! Absolutely awesome run from Hart and easily the best run i've ever seen. Well done to Sam as well coming 7th? with only a few days of riding under his belt. And troy!!!!!!!!
Massive props to Rob and Nigel, best 2 commentators ive heard in any sport. Best leave the one liners to me Nige!
"OH GOODDD, DANNY STAY ON YOUR BIKE SON"

Junior DH Team places 2nd
A big pat on the back to the Australian Junior DH Team who came in second (just behind the French but ahead of the Kiwis), and who would have retained that place even without Troy's brilliant run. In fact, they would have retained that place even without Troy's or Connor's results counting. Phil, Dave and Brandon would have got us over the line. That's depth. Well done boys - Australia should be proud of you.
