[soldout77]

@rubberrodent Not sure if she got hurt. But she was run off the course on the first lap

@soldout77 Ty.

@jonjones229 just got a popup on gowod that event 1 is live.

srsly, how fan unfriendly/boring can you make an event. especially, as it is event1?...

 

[hallbee66]

@glory2jesus Read this exactly at the same time as people collided and several female fell off their bikes

 

[glory2jesus]

@hallbee66 ye that is what i thought will happen as well. with some bad luck you are out of the games due to such dumb event.

just my opinion, no one has to agree ofc

 

[dawn16]

@glory2jesus Bike has been part of the 100 words forever.

 

[glory2jesus]

@dawn16 just because something is there for a long time doesnt make it automatically good.

this event is not a good advertisement for the sports. it is boring to watch. i mean if you are fan of bike races somehow this might be interesting but watching people riding a bike in circles for 40 min is not something i'm looking forward to as a viewer.

at least event2 is good. did the workout already. way more interesting to watch.

e/ and they are only showing #1 imagine formula 1 only shows max verstappen.

 

[hallbee66]

@jonjones229 Jonne Koski absolutely! Top3 at least.

 

[grey1962]

@hallbee66 Yeah I'm rooting for Jonne on this one

 

[jarvis75]

@jonjones229 What is pack riding etiquette? Do you take turns leading?

 

[dawn16]

@jarvis75 Not as much of a consideration on a course with this many turns. If there were more extended open stretches, we’d see a lot more drafting.

 

[dawn16]

I say that and Katrin chooses to sit on Laura’s back wheel and recharge.

 

[jarvis75]

@dawn16 I didn’t realize how much of the course would be grass too

 

[evamore]

@jarvis75 With the grass, the turns, and having to get off your bike for a run drafting isn't going to gain you much of an advantage.

 

[jarvis75]

@evamore That makes sense. Good points.

 

[joshuaamosley]

@jonjones229 Alright, here we go!

 

[jarvis75]

@jonjones229 I forgot about Lawson. She excelled on bike to work last year.

 

[rodrei]

@jonjones229 Hillers BTS vid on this was excellent btw. Go watch it quick before heat one starts

@jonjones229 For me Fabi Beneito should win this test. His past in motocross surely give him advantage in this kind of workouts
