Yeah I remember seeing him blasting past riders in the first feed station and being swamped by riders in the second. Wonder what happened? Tops result for Dan though. And Bec Henderson getting another top 10!finished 4 laps down
Its an awesome ride by Dan.Tops result for Dan though. And Bec Henderson getting another top 10!
I agree. But...a/. I dont think she is allowed to ride Elite Worlds whilst still a U23 (I could be wrong but think they can race WCup for points, but not World Champs) and b/. 'could' be Elite Champ vs 'will' be U23 Champ (barring disaster).I doubt Julie Bresset would bother with the U23's when she could be Elite World Champion.
Yep - its one of the more "noted" ones on the circuit. Here are some happy snaps from 2009 World Cup there showing some good bits of the course:Last nights [Offenburg] looked like a ripper course.
The Olympic course has been built with T.V. coverage in mind - something missing in previous events.Compare that course with the proposed Olympic course.......
makes it look like a city bike path.
Joke of a course (london).

I don't believe watching cyclist ride around on city man made bike paths is good for the sport.Bad for the rider - good for the sport

It is a ripper, was my favourite of my Europe adventures. But it is also pretty wide, smooth, fast and easy except for the spectator drawcard/TV areas. Dual Speed, North Shore, World Class Drop, Wolfs Drop, Snake Pit. It's no harder than Dalby Forrest. It looks good on TV though because so much focus is on Dual Speed and North Shore.Compare that course with the proposed Olympic course.......

and to think people who get off and run up the pinches at Dirt Works get yelled at - and theres people doing it in the World Cup!!!Wow that's a crazy video. You can just tell that even though they look like they're spinning slowly, they're going stupid fast. He must have passed 40 riders by the time he caught Adam Craig, who's not exactly slow either.
Love the effort he goes to bringing the cheats back in line
