Used to be cool.
What a race! No one quite knew who would get it until the last man came down - and what a run that last man down had! In both the men and the women the best qualifier won the day.

A fantastic race to watch, and by all accounts the crowd and atmosphere was fantastic.

It was a pretty good arvo. Watching the worlds best rip it up was awesome.

The finish of the race really felt like it was down to the wire and the crowd of going wild especially at the triple treat.

As for Hill he looked pretty well over it by the end. I'm guessing he really doesn't like Stromlo.

That was one of the sickest Weekends I have ever had. Go Aussies!!!!!! I had the feeling Rennie would get top 3!!!!

Shame for Sam Hill???? Best in the World???? Home country track???? 11th!!!!!????
 
I was there today aswell and it was a great day to be had by all.
It was a shame to see a few of the riders go down whilst going so well, Like Steve Peat's crash just before the finish line and Shaun O'Connor's crash after the bridge. Also after the bridge Matti crashed and broke both his arms (on Friday) and I was right infront of both! Does anyone have news about Indi Boer's crash at Triple Treat? Is she alright?
 
was an epic weekend, kudos to all the aussies, especially rennie, well done with 2nd.

other note: sam hill has never been fond of stromlo, i can remember the last time he got a decent result there. well hes going to have to step up his game next year for the 2009 world champs.

counting down the days till then!

yyyyyyyyyyeeeooooowwwww:cool:

Hard luck for Shaun O, I believe he set the fastest qualifying time, faster than Minnar. I was marshalling near the top, Shaun's race run through that section looked as fast as Minnar's, and Minnar had the benefit of a drying track, as he was last down.

Yeah we were planning a trip down, wish we went.

Surprised not to see Sam up there, he didnt fall or anything?

No, the track today suited the powerful riders, more so than usual, as it was pretty wet, plus the track was drying out over the course of the men's race session, and Sam only qualified 8th, (tactics??) so the track was a lot slower than for Greg. There was 3 minutes between the race runs for the top 10 riders, so the track had 24 minutes more to dry out between Sam and Greg, IMO that made a difference, certainly at the top where I was marshalling..

matti isnt having much luck is he, broke his back, cut his knee open, broke both his arms and a broken shoulder!

EDIT: he will have to get some one to wipe his ass for him!

I was at the Contours and Rennie looked way faster than everyone except Sam. Sam got it a bit crooked between the Contours and Triple Treat which stuffed him. Greg was not quite as quick but must have kept it very tight for the whole run to beat Rennie.
