I watched on Redbull TV here in Dubai. Don’t worry you did not miss much. Ladies race was boring except for sprint finish 2nd/3rd place and the men’s, well I’ve never heard of half the top 5 and was just as boring.

 

Maybe the downhill today will be worth watching though!

Did Alan Hatherly start? Never saw him and the results don't list him. And why on earth did Mariske Strauss make that hard effort on the opening lap? She never recovered from going into the red.

Yes, but he has been man down all week with a “unconventional race weight strategy” unfortunately.

I can't believe how many of the pros we're man / lady down this week from a "stomach bug" caught last week.... Hmmmmm....

Looks like many had same strategy. Must have run through the events from last week.

Yep... DSTV and ICASA to blame. Very annoying. I am re-activating my NordVPN account as we speak so I can watch the downhill

What unconventional race strategy?

He had a tummy bug all week. Same as Langvad and a whole heap of others

Yes a heap of riders had the issue. Not sure how it came about or what the cause is/was but something like that does spread quick. remember Epic 3 years ago same issue.

 

To add to that 5 riders tested positive for Covid after the the 2 world cups and all riders had to be tested and staff once they arrived at the circuit.
