Warpspeed Ratboy! So gutted for him and Sam Hill, 2 of my fav riders both coming to grief with one hand on the victory. Get well soon Josh you weapon of a man!
Jeezlaaik, that was blistering, my palms are sweating at my desk. "I didn't want to break for that jump", Greg "I noticed"...like a scene from Fawlty Towers man. Awesome run though Josh, well done! Heal up good and proper :)
What Peaty does, and all the other riders, jumping in to help, to make sure Ratboy is okay and looked after, that's what makes them heroes and great sportsmen.
That's what going for it means.... Full respect to the rat and what a great team he's got behind him, two legends of the sport looking out for him!!! Epic run !!!
The end of an era. Love seeing the shorts instead of the speed seats. The syndicate was all time during these years bring back Norway what a sick track. UCI pull your head out of your butt
He was over a full second quicker than Gee at split two, if he just scrubbed a bit of speed before the last jump he'd have won the double. That being said, Hill could have made another second on the bottom half of the track before his massive off and even Hart was the quickest at split one before he came into the banked corner almost fully horizontal. Just the nature of the game. Itching for next season now.
i broke my hand on a trail in wales weekend just gone had to finish also its suck but hats off to you sir as that looked awesome and to finsh with a broken foot aswel!!
Gutted for Ratboy,I would have loved to see him take the double,but being a protege of Peaty I suppose it's only right that he'll have to work a bit harder than most for those rainbow stripes
Nah, his pedal basically exploded & part of it drove itself in the sole of his shoe. He just about destroyed his foot & some tendons. The crank stayed intact which is crazy considering the force of the impact. I vaguely remember seeing the X-rays on a video of his rehab; no a pretty sight.
