Lol, I love my four seconds of glory.

Last year I missed out on the 1 hour mark by 8 seconds. Devastated.

Reading through the email from the Mont team:

Anybody know what happened?
Two riders collided on the last lap of the day, about 200m from Transition/Race HQ. One rider got up, swore profusely at the rider on the ground then laid in to him with fists (right in front of the youngsters watching the race, and a nearby photographer). It is the worst display of rider behaviour we've heard of and should never have happened. Needless to say that rider earned a life ban from our events.

Holy crapafuckinmoley! That's about as bad as it gets, belting a dude that's already grounded after a stack!

Seriously WTF??? This is social race!
I have had the red rage before, but that was in races against equals for position (echelons/ crosswinds/ shoulders/ elbows/ headbutts) not against punters... that's just fucking sad

I got in touch with the photographer; most of the shots of the incident have been subpoenaed and can't be released until the case is heard in court

Apparently this was taken immediately before the fight.

Love it. You should work in media.

+1. Clearly it can be seen by the photo evidence that some awesome fast dude was on a hot lap and an asshat got in the way thus deserving all retribution.

You can see the deliberate way he's stuck his handlebar into the trail. This was no 'accident'.

Look at the stink eye you're giving me though. That will haunt my dreams. :fear:

Far out Tubbsy, you sooooo sucked me in with that photo

I just searched up the team, and presumably that evil looking dude is someone from right here. Photoshopped for the number I'm guessing, or not.......
