Like Bruce Steeze once said: "Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like mud. Now you put mud in a rut, it becomes the rut; you put mud into a catch berm, it becomes the catch berm. Mud can flow or make you crash. Be mud, my friend."
Miriam is the Minaar of women's riding. You are amazing, Miriam. I was watching you twenty plus years ago and loving your aggressive riding. You women have totally closed the skill gap to a size that's miniscule. And Miriam is one of the greatest riders that inspired such energy and momentum. She needs a place in the hall of fame
It would honestly be legendary, how badly I would do trying to make it down this wet peanut-butter course. I don't understand how they ride so well in this mess!!
I would sandbag qualifiers just to go before the track gets that's much more beat up. There needs to be more of an incentive on qualifying good besides letting you go last when the track is beat to hell
Break out your flat pedals for a track like this. It feels so much more safe on steeps with flat pedals.If you don't need to pedal, why would you want to be clipped in? How much focus is wasted when you gotta throw a leg and the try to clip back in. On a pedalest course the clips rule, but that's intermediate class courses.Flat pedals rule when it gets scary

Repeat to yourself "I am the mud and the mud is me" xD
@Ganiscol You are a man of culture! 😂
in the mud u can see the difference in bike skills
Ronan Dunne. His father was a mudder, his mother was a mudder. The lad loves the slop. Hes here to win.
Don't tell anyone
😂
Myriam summarised it perfectly, love a muddy race, really mixes things up (as long as nobody gets hurt)!
Everyone loves a mudder.
5:45 BK making it look easy
This is downhill at its finest. Love it
Mud tyres and flat pedals 👌
Boy I love those whistles
It’s giving Champery 2011 vibes

She's only 31 and has been racing professionally for like 10 years. Not sure how you were watching her 20+ years ago?
The women are skilled, no doubt, but the time gap between men’s and women’s is pretty significant
Pieron is gonna win the series. This is his style .
Max of Sleeper was on his toes then at the end 😂 Good work John 🤘❤️🌈🕊️🌍
Diabolical conditions but there’s no more rain forecast as far as I could see..
Be interesting to see how the track dries up
was that AP at 6:33 going hard enduro around everyone? SO GOOD
Every. Single. Comp. Is a mudfest this yr. Instead of world champs
There will still be a winner
Looks like fun!!
That mud still got rocks in them, still rideable
It would honestly be legendary, how badly I would do trying to make it down this wet peanut-butter course. I don't understand how they ride so well in this mess!!
"STAY ON YOUR BIKE !!!"
Après la boue c'est bon pour le corps paraît-il :D
5:40 Pierron just rides again like its nothing
Events like that, I wish I could compete. Would be a fun leveling of the playing field.
6:40 the guy's having fun
The rider in the black jacket was unphased by the mud.
Ronan no coat lol
I'd have loved to see Sam Hill ride this in his prime
nivel!!!
Flat pedal territory
I always loved having to ride steep mud chutes because you get so scared you get an adrenaline rush. LOL everyone rides for different reasons
Bernard Bernard Bernard
Whamy!
The ruts will be canyons on race day.
Can anyone tell me why LORIS VERGIER is running a trek union bike
Looks like any other Megaavalanche weather 😂
Silent Hill conditions
Need some tough conditions to seperate the very best from the not very best
As if a "regular" WC downhill was easy?
Thats why I don't compete in downhill WC: the weather never gets bad enough for me to really shine😆
Woow, mucho barro, van bajando como de paseo.... muy difícil bajar .. jabón

mud for export. Only those who dominate in mud will be on the podium and in better positions

I hate it for all the mechanics.
Almost looks more like an Enduro race with the riders managing their pace
Old school
