He looks more like George Michal haha

Wish I had £50 on Kulhavy, he is biding his time now and fresh as a daisy

 

[Dangermouse]

What a pity, Liam has broken his ankle.....end of his olympic dream

 

[Dangermouse]

Hermida has done well to close up.......sorry I meant George Michael

Watching the pros does make you realise what an unmitigated amateur you are doesn't it. Wicked sport.

Watching them ride up that big straight hill makes me wanna puke.

I had no idea you can run with your bike!

These guys are awesome, at Dalby they did the Dalby dare and us mere amateurs took an hour to get round the same route it took the pros 20 mins to do, my hat goes off to them all its probably the hardest riding sport going, My old MTB was a Sette carbon with full XTR group and Fulcrum wheels, tubeless and weighed in at 19lb but I couldnt even make a full circuit it was so hard to ride, these pro MTBers are proper athletes

Yes they are allowed to run or carry the bike and most do if there is a bottleneck at one of the technical sections rather than risk injury or break a component

If you want to see MTBing at its most extreme take a look at this

Kulhavy is doing well considering he's the only one on a FS bike, bit more weight but he is a powerfull bloke.....my money is still on him

 

[Andrew_Culture]

"Most of these bikes weigh about 8kg".

My MTB weighs in at nearly 19kg!
