Just had this land in my indox and reminds me of when I was nuts in my younger days. Naughty antics; car overtaking and worst of all; riders not wearing mits! :wink:
(If anyone knows the music on this clip then I'll be glad to know-cheers)

    Nice video. Always scares me when riders overtake cars on blind bends.

    The building at the start of that video is where the clowns fight in the video to Fluorescent Adolescent by Arctic Monkeys #popfacts

    That is pretty damn good/scary video
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.

    First of all they are much better riders than me but the descent is pretty easy compared to most of the roads round near me. Nicely engineered bends, good surface etc.

    thats a great video. some pretty scary bits going down there especially the bit in between the rock walls either side, i crawled through that bit.

    often see a IG Sigma team car in ashbourne in derbyshire not sure if its a rider or manager or just a really excessive fanboy painting up a mercedes estate!

    Mallorca is a fantastic place to go training though.

    And they leave out the loose fine gravel in sharp corners as I have encountered on descents on hundreds of occasions in the french alsace :evil:
