2 half laps, plus 6 laps
32nd place, 2.03hrs racing time, half a century down to new world champ José Hermida
I wish this would not be my worlds race report... flat tire in first lap. I only realized it when I passed tech zone, so I ended up walking for ever. Actually when Todd passed me, he has giving me his co2 "bomb", but there was only a fart left in it. When the co2 dropped on the ground, it activated the valve and air was starting to come out. I could only pick it up later, since there was too much traffic in that single trail. But all those seconds did not matter anyway. I just did not want to walk all the way to tech zone, and having to give way to the guys racing the bikes. Anyway I ended up walking, and when I got my new wheel I was "snailing" all over the course. The moral was gone!
By the way after the feed zone, there was a fence separating the course. So parallel riding. Absalon came down one side, me the other. I had no idea in what place he was riding. We just looked at each other going down there, and our looks said a 1000 words. I knew it right there that he is not racing for the win as well. At least he was about 8min ahead, and closer to finish this thing off.
Hey very well done to Burry, who finished 3rd on his 29er hardtail. Sure he will once be in the middle of that step, but José the old dog definitely deserved that win here!
Pictures will follow.
I am now on the way to Montreal with Burry and new downhill world champ Sam Hill. Tonight, Sushi dinner is waiting with Specialized Canada. From there we three are going to my home, before a big Specialized event in Madrid will take place. Contador will attend too, so I can finally show him how to climb on a road bike :-)
