It wasn’t as close as it first looked though and it was a marshalled crossing point.1

That was about 5 seconds before she got to that crossing point, but it was clear by then. I think they might like to make sure the riders don't see that in front of them.Pross said:It wasn’t as close as it first looked though and it was a marshalled crossing point.

Denmark showing interest from the start. Think they want to thin the field out before anyone gets a chance to break away. Seems to be workingWarning No formatter is installed for the format0

The crossing should probably be further from the bend so the marshals get a better view of approaching riders to be fair or they should be using whistles. Seems to always happen at UK races. You get the same at running events, someone will cross in a gap between groups and then a load of others follow, suddenly see people coming and jog across with one of those silly nervous laughs.RichN95. said:Pross said:It wasn’t as close as it first looked though and it was a marshalled crossing point.
It's close enough. What if something goes wrong? If I was Just Stop Oil I'd see that as an invitation for a stunt at the finish tomorrow0 -

So, Dutch lad has a gap, but they're just leaving him hanging there, he's only got another 114km to go

But it's 270km, and isn't the predominant view on this forum that Pidders is no good in long races?Pross said:
Not a clue, probably wants to mess around getting muddy as a priority. It would be a good course for him, looks very suited to multiple short, sharp efforts that CX riders tend to be good at.tailwindhome said:Why is Pidcock not riding tomorrow?

Lolz...
Crash takes out a few riders, a helper is getting one of them out of the road and kicks a bidon away - straight into some poor guy still sitting in the gutterWarning No formatter is installed for the format0 -
Lots of crashes in the dry.
Hopefully everyone participating later in the week is paying attention.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

4 in the top 8 and no medals (4th, 5th, 6th and 8th). That must be a bit frustrating.ddraver said:Home advantage not working (enough) for the DH girls.
(Although some genuinely solid rides by a lot of them)
Enjoyed that, the wooded section with the roots made me wince as that is always my downfall when I ride off-road0 -
Decent 4 man group wit 40" and a three man chase to join.

WTF is the Belgian rider doing trying to tighten his thru axle himself whilst riding?2

Surprised by the amount of riders who prefer keeping gels in their shorts rather than jersey pockets. Their choice but I'm surprised.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

This is really a race-it-from-the-front course. It's all about selections, right from the off - nobody is going top be organising a proper chase on this.Warning No formatter is installed for the format0

The Worlds XCO race has been a priority since last year's disappointment when he came down with a bug during the week of the race. Unfinished business, though like last year he won't have a great grid position.Pross said:
