    Like many British fans I’m so happy that Rach is back racing Not the ideal track to come back cause as Charlie found out this track takes no prisoners but she had a lot of success on this track The most memorable And iconic victory is when her and G both won on the same day

      Telling me BRO that was one of the greatest days in GB sporting history Who would’ve thought that Rachel would go on to do what she did after that year breaking records left right and centre winning world championships after world Championships she won’t be at her best but She will give it all she has got and the crowd will help top 10 will be a victory for her but top five would be amazing

    Well...this race sure is going to be interesting. I love Vali, but she is not putting her heart into it. When you are up in the race, then drop down, then go up, then drop down...you are not putting in 100%. That leaves the door wide open for everyone else and resulted in a 4th place finish. Disappointing.

      @@yarkmates3409 she is my absolute favourite rider, but I get the feeling that for some reason she just let it go on purpose. Her all time idol is Rachel Atherton. Just wondering if with Rachel coming back, does that have something to do with it? Rachel is sitting this one out it appears, but you know she is dead serious about what she is doing.

      When a rider passes? They blow the whistle. Let's people down track know riders are coming. So good for media squids and fans. But also good for rider who may have stopped behind blind corners or crests you don't want to pull out on someone bombing down. Or something like that.

      If the whistle blows and a rider doesn’t appear, they know there is a problem and can get help.

      @@Pienimusta when you wear a helmet properly, you get a concussion! That is if the helmet was designed right. If your helmet is just for looks, and not function, you might as well not wear a helmet.
      Most properly designed helmets are only designed for one hit. They're not meant to take repeat hits.
