    What did Bryceland win?

    Dirt's site says he was wearing the rainbow jersey, I thought he was too old for juniors.

    I bet Dan Atherton's a bit miffed :)

    I know one person who will be more than a bit miffed, Steve Peat! So close again.

    Yeah, poor old Peaty. Gee took the win by over 2 secs though. He'll do it one year!

    JB: Well, I'm still a junior this year and I have unfinished business with the Junior World Champs.
    nice one lad.

    Amazing race - Sam Hill was going unbelievably fast before he stacked it. Incredible to be able to get back on his bike and only finish half a second behind.

    watching sam is even better but i'm flying the british flag here :wink:
    they were going unbelieveable speeds. avg. gradient of that course is apparently 45°!
    and its so rooty and rocky thats crazy. dunno how they can spot and remember a line at that speed.

    Shame about the apoplectic commentator who needs to learn to calm down a tad.....!

    I just watched Sam Hills run and he was on fire !! So unlucky to have the front wash out on him right at the end of the run !

    I'll have to watch again, but it looked as if Sam used a tighter line in when washed out, while Peaty for instance went high just before that area. But stupendously fast!
