You can’t see 0.5 seconds over a 4+ minute run. If you think you can, you’re wrong. Some people’s style just looks fast. Laurie looked faster. Troy never looks as fast, no matter what. Greg either.
What's that got to do with anything?! He was 0.5 secs faster and that's all that matters on the day. People can't win just because they deserve to sorry.....
"Look, sorry Loic we'd love to give you the medal but we can't because we actually think there were some other riders that looked faster but weren't" :p

Your not gonna be happy until everyone only talks about troy being amazing are you.

Maybe connor too, sometimes.
Yep. Getting that feeling too

If you notice the fact that Troy seems to practice levitation, he looks fast. He's so damn light across the ground.

Yes. That’s exactly what I said. :rolleyes:
I’m talking about some people appearing faster than others, regardless of the clock.
Loic deserved the win, unquestionably. 3 out of last 4 champs, dominating the WC, he clearly deserved the win.
That was never my point. :rolleyes:

He’s light, but never looks the fastest to me, even when he wins.
I think that was the ride of his life. Gave it all, really couldn’t pick a fault.
Would have been insanely close if Borat hadn’t had an unseen early error, and Laurie hadn’t flatted. That’s racing, but reckon we would have had the top 4 all within 0.5.
Still think it’s as good as any race I’ve watched.

Most of it was boring af, not helped by the typically shit coverage, but when they got to the top ten, holy fark that was some racing!

I love watching Minaar because he's so smooth, and I love watching Greenland because he's so not. Interesting.

If I hadn't seen a spoiler already, I would have thought Troy had it for sure. That must have been the run of a lifetime!

Fully agreed on both...other than I loved seeing more riders...particularly ones we don’t usually get to see.
Wish I’d see (NZ) Matt Walkers run. Held the hot seat a long time.

I wish we could have seen more of the top section! Seemed like a lot of time was lost for some riders in there. Would have loved to have seen the action in there :(

Agree, seeing the start and then cutting to 2mins in was a fair chunk of track to go unseen

The frogs are bringing the top guys with them. Greg back on form, Laurie having a breakout season, Troy rising to the challenge as is Danny and Deanos wants to play too. It's tight racing and it's fricken great to watch.

Why has no one said KYE A’HERN!!!
Thought last year was his big one, but not quite. This year hasn’t been quite as good for him, but what a ride to win juniors!
Clear win, then only 0.8 between 2nd and 5th.
Up to the big boys next year.
