DH Worlds (Bryn's Version)

The track yesterday was so fast.

The sun was out again, so by the time finals came around the track was bone dry, and super rough.

In the Juniors, Bryceland took it down with an impressive time, his run was pinned,I still dont know how he got down that hill with those little arms of his.. The number 1 Qualifier, French Sunn rider, Remy Thirion was fast, he went off the track at the top and had a crash midway down and was less than 9 seconds back, finishing 3rd, what a pinner. Top Aussie finisher was Shaun O'connor in 7th.

I came off on the fastest section on the track, we were rattling around 65k's, and there is a g-out at the end of this straight, i kinda still don't know what happened in relation to how I came to be flying through the air upside down at that speed, but Im pretty sure my hand slipped off the bar.. Im ok though, a couple of little scratches on my back and that's about it. I'm sure it will be online somewhere, it was brutal, I'm pretty damn lucky.

Warner was cruising around with an Italian skinsuit, he's a crack up.

Sam's run was so insane, I have not seen sam on the limiter like that ever, he was up 6 seconds at the split on Peaty's time, and would have put another couple of seconds into him if he had have stayed on.

It was harsh to see Peaty be so close yet again, when Sam went down I think everyone including Peaty thought he had it. Gee had an impressive run though and deserved it. Bummer for Peaty.

Matti (Lehicoinen) took my camera on the hill yesterday, so Photo credit goes to him.
