That was a hell of a race. Lots of surprises!

How good would the podium have been before the last rider came down, the Irish guy cant believe it.

Spoiler: Soooo close

Bernard Kerr in 3rd.

Watched his Quali gopro and he had a few near misses. If it stays raining I reckon he is a good chance for a possible win.

0.4 fucken seconds. Almost called it

Spoiler: Soooo close

Spoiler: Was close

A few dabs and near misses, would have been nice to see him with his first win and the other two were so amazed they were even sitting there with one bloke to go.

Cracker race. Bernard was true to his mister 110% reputation.

Shit conditions but great race in the end

Spoiler: They cant believe they are sitting on the hotseat with 1 bloke to go.

Check the replay at 1:49 after Diprela comes down, friggin funny, Eliot says "they don't know what to do"

The Irish rider is gobsmacked ! He's the biggest winner of the day, doesn't give a shit if he's 3rd or 4th, a top 10 was a dream.

Yeah, great visual that was. Both looked like fat kids in a lolly shop.

As much as I was stoked for the actual winner, that would have been amazing.

Did anyone else notice the illuminated green button under the LH grip of Bruni's bike when he stacked? I think we're all assuming there's some kind of electronic rear lockout or whatever on his rear shock under the carbon cover, but I don't remember seeing the button lit up before?

Ejector seat?

 

[Spike-X]

No, I did not notice that.

No, I did not notice that.

I appreciate your honesty!

That's fucken awful luck That's the overall gone then

Still mathematically possible if she returns for the final round. Would be terrifying/epic if she pulled it off.

When is Val Di Sole?

Enough time for collarbone healing I assume?

That sucks, she has been very deserving of the title this year

For a DH pro, maybe - Sept 2nd-4th.

Heal, yes. Ready to ride, no.
