he is the boss! I mean, They are plenty of amazing riders, like shurter, tempier,... But Absalon has that thing, that nobody else has... A win of Absalon is always a bit different than others, it's special. And now he became ( for another time) a legend.
Surprise surprise, a Di2 equipped bike won the race today. Since it's mtb I'm not gonna be as suspicious as I'd be with road racing where some classics are bought for some business reason .
I've watched the video on-demand and it looks like Absalon was going for it and the track suits him. But hey, if I was Schurter I won't say no to a big check from Japan -especially with the bank privacy in Switzerland .
Holy hell , reading IS fundamental ... For a minute I thought Pauline had a top 5 finish time for the MEN!!!! One less lap it turns out . See what happens when pinkbike goes Lycra ...
There are a few in every cycling discipline like Marcelo Gutierrez (DH), Daniel Dhers (BMX), but I'm definitely sure that if more riders had the chance to go and participate in the WC scene, we'd be seeing a better competition.
Troll aside I think you're right.
