    I have to say I've really been enjoying all of Ben's commentary for this event. The more I see, the more I like it.
    Smart, full of information, just a little quirky, and I don't feel like I'm being yelled at by some over-caffeinated freak who's trying to convey excitement and passion by running up the volume and spewing a lot of nonsense. It's beyond refreshing.
    Keep up the good work Ben!

    how about Miriam got saved by a tree at the edge of the trail. She lost her front wheel and was going down. Then her wheel hits a tree and got pushed back on track.

    The problem with "had this mistake not happened..." is, in this case, you can say the same about the pretty massive double slipper Aumaury had up top, that cost him more than a second, maybe two. And therefore we know to not go there. The winner won because the winner was fastest. The clock doesnt lie. 😉

    • @lynxg4641
      @lynxg4641 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah boy, that was a serious kick Aumaury had and recovered, easily that cost him 1.5 seconds.

    Watching the Redbull TV coverage, Elliot and Rob were discussing 'why are the French riders so fast?' and mentioning how the French riders do a lot of steering from the back - kinda what motoGP riders do by backing the rear wheel into a turn, sliding it and getting into the turn faster than by just steering from the front - exactly what Vergier was doing in that very corner - he just got it a little 'off' and slid the back out......
    Wonder what Ben has to say about that?

    • @ollialanko699
      @ollialanko699 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Very interesting topic. The fastest bunch of french riders really seem to do something differently to anyone else, regarding riding position. I've been trying to figure it out for a couple of years now but it's so hard to tell what they're doing. Differences are really small in posture and riders move really fast after all.
      Actually I think after watching this race that Finn might have cracked the code as well, his riding looks very different to last year. I'd assume a huge part in keeping that posture is core fitness and Amaury, Loic, seem to be ahead there.
      What do you think? I'd like to discuss this more, did I miss something?

    heh Aaron Gwin,whats the story?you said when you were no longer competing for wins it might be time to call it quits.Hate to say it but it might be time,because 33rd is a terrible result.I'm struggling with ''its the bike reason'' as Dakota rode to an 11th place,well done.You have to do the work to get the results,I don't know if its lack of preseason preparation or some other thing,but when a guy with 5 world cup overall championships can't break the top 20,it might be time to retire.best wishes in getting things sorted.
