Without doubt. I think I'd be more disappointed seeing her crash if it wasn't so obvious she's going to destroy everyone for the next 10 years regardless.First time I've seen Vali ride, looks like the next Rachel Atherton to me.
Agreed, can't imagine what she'll be like with a few more years experience on her shoulders.First time I've seen Vali ride, looks like the next Rachel Atherton to me.
2nd is great... but her mind was on the prize for the whole pre-season, Turn up and Win.Crashing and STILL coming second. Gotta be encouraged by that result.
Super reminiscent of Sams worlds run where he was up miles and slid out on a fast cornerCrashing and STILL coming second. Gotta be encouraged by that result.
I dunno. Her mental game has always been insanely strong. If she’s not on the top step next race, I’ll buy a 29 (tyre)Vali had a shit load of pressure on her, first elite WC, home track, etc. She should be stoked on second but I think it will take some time for the reality to align with her expectation.
Not so sure. Two elite races, two mistakes.........I dunno. Her mental game has always been insanely strong. If she’s not on the top step next race, I’ll buy a 29 (tyre)
Actually, one. Broken ankle before race run on first try.Not so sure. Two elite races, two mistakes.........
She'll retire and commentate with Tracy.Not so sure. Two elite races, two mistakes.........
Semantics........Actually, one. Broken ankle before race run on first try.
Semantics........
No doubting that she already has amazing maturity but home track pressure is intense... Tracey, champs?I dunno. Her mental game has always been insanely strong. If she’s not on the top step next race, I’ll buy a 29 (tyre)
