Peaty said in the interview that Sam binned it.
World Cup #3 DH/4X - Vallnord, Andorra

He still gets fast splits, just because he crashed doesn't mean the bike doesn't suit him.what's up with hill? his demo doesn't seem to suit him well....
i know that was nuts! and then drifting that corner super cleanly.scrubbing an off-camber drop!
dam hill would have killed it hadn't he crashed
Was hoping mick would of podiumed though! still sitting pretty.

It suits him too well he is going faster than anybody at the moment, just having issues keeping it upright. He will nail it, its still early days. But gee its good to see peaty get up for the win. He is awesome!what's up with hill? his demo doesn't seem to suit him well....

I think I speak for everyone here by saying "I wanna see what happened to Sam!" Poor fella. Was bloody right off. Well done to Peaty though.

the comment wasn't because he crashed. it's because he's been riding that demo and he just can't seem to get the feel for it (from what i have seen so far). you can see it in his stance compared to when he was riding his IH.

Two different bikes, his stance will change, but its suiting him he is definately faster. Thats for sure.

Great race. Well done to Peaty, and all the viewers watching have witnessed DH history with 17 wins. Sooking about Sam though I was hoping so much for a win, was murdering them at the first split but that's racing.
seriously guys get over this fucking shit about the demo no suiting him and his stance being different, didnt everyone give their expert opinion on this already when they first annouced the change in bikes.
a riders stance will change when you ride a different bike so fuck off all the comments about this shit.
to sum it all up, he is getting super fast and I think the other riders are pushing so hard becasue they know it.
As someone has alrady said, its early days. he can only get better and im sure no one is more disapointed about the crash then them

Thats it. I say we all chip in for a reward for the first person who finds footage (photo or vid) of Sam's crash.

WTF?.....see it in his stance?? It's like when the first pics of him riding his Demo in Adelaide first popped up people were going "oh that bike looks heavy" "oh he doesn't look comfortable"
Did you see the way he tore apart the top section of that track? he absolutely destroyed it!
You've just gotta look at any footage of the Monster guys riding this season to see that both him and Brendan look super comfortable and super pinned on their new rides. If anything is giving him any grief this year it would have to be his chainguide!
