DH World Cup thread

[Mabman]

They really butchered Puck Pieterse's name there.....Rob finally listened to his ear mic but Emily carried on and she is Canadian and should know how to say puck being from a hockey nation.

Well I stand corrected. I had made mention of this on Igram and got a reply from movemedialtd that said they had heard it from her before broadcast. No other announcers in CX or MTB, including Bart Brentjens who is Dutch and should know better, pronounce it correctly I guess. She should tell them!

Her last name seems to stump some of the broadcasters also and they just say Peters. But it is Pieterse (say).

First one of these I've enjoyed in a while, Bernard dishes up a few truth bombs on the DH world cup scene. Would love to know which team dropped $10k in Wholefoods for a weeks worth of food & drink.

I cant do it, I feel stupider already just replying to this. I was an avid listener at the beginning, I even got Olly the proper Mic, but when they ramble on off topic they show themselves up on how stupid they are.

This one is good because a) Bernard & b) the other guy isn't in it.

100% this. Olly's a genuine , likeable guy. Davi..... I just can't .....

Loved the truth bombs !

Not DH, but from Hardline ..

Quite an interesting breakdown of some course sections and really cool to see the ladies doing it !!!!!

Here's my world champs preview from a couple of years back at Fort Bill.

 

[RustyMTB]

Fort Bill then. Any takers for the win? TBH, I've not even looked up the runners & riders but I'm fairly certain a home win is a cert

Laurie and Cami.

Only the brave or the foolish bet against the French these days! No Jackson this year. Jordan?

 

[Goat]

Rachel & Greg FTW would be awesome.

Would love to see Ronan Dunne get a medal, likewise Callum Morris in the juniors

 

[VWsurfbum]

Its wide open, especially as Jackson is out.

I think Rachel may pull a surprise out (well hopefully.

 

[RustyMTB]

Ronan would be cool, if only to see whether he can manage a broadcast interview without swearing.

 

[Shjay]

Rachel & Loic

Abso-fucking-lutely no fucking chance of that!

 

[RustyMTB]

Dante Silva had a full on death, about 7:50 in. I like Dante. slight air of the unhinged about him.

 

[VWsurfbum]

Rachel could also be out, dislocated her bad shoulder again.

Hell Yeah ! Just what the doctor ordered

Beyond the Line

Rob Warner, Emily Batty and Eliot Jackson explore all the hot topics at the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup races.

Rob Warner brings it bavk that name I seen him at the 1st one held at Ft Bill that wasn't yesterday. Was tempted to go to final on Saturday but thunder and heavy rain plus horrible delays on roads to events like that these days won't bother

 

[RustyMTB]

Rachel could also be out, dislocated her bad shoulder again.

Two big dogs out, surely this clears the way for the double Rob Warner & Tracey Mosely come backs?

[RustyMTB]

BBC1. Fancy eh?

BBC simplifying it a bit for the audience

 

[RustyMTB]

From here, anyone deposing the top three is riding the race of their lives. Looks filthy out there now.

 

[Mabman]

Weather is a factor for sure....that announcer is getting on my nerves.

Global warming isn't a thing in Scotland obviously.

So cool to see Atherton bikes go 1/2 on home soil! Take that big brands.

Now on to the eBike races.

Global warming will create more rain

Every time Needles says 'That's all she wrote', a Springbok dies.
