Check out Sabrina's race rig for the beginning of next season!

Ok, I'll bite...... WHY is it in your backyard?

 

[peteypete]

It's not my yard! We just sent the Maxxis-Rocky Mountain team the frames for next season to their base in Boulder, CO.

If I'm right, I think Peteypete works for RMB. So it's probably a good reason why...

 

[peteypete]

guilty as charged.

Nice! Quick question, what's the weight difference between this new frame and the old one?

 

[peteypete]

Approx 1.5 pounds.

Not a bad start to the season, Sabrina Jonnier finished second, 9.73 seconds back of Rachel Atherton, with 3rd place Floriane Pugin over 3 seconds behind Jonnier. With Atherton back after sitting out last season, she obviously has something to prove.

 

[rockyuphill]

Wow, Sabrina Jonnier proves that she wasn't at the top in 2009 just because Rachel Atherton sat the season out. Jonnier wins at Ft.Williams by +1.11. Third place Floriane Pugin is back +4.87!!!

Some Freecaster screen captures of Sabrina's run.

 

[canadian-clydesdale]

what no mention of cam coles 3rd place in the stacked mens field?

 

[rockyuphill]

Cam Cole finished second at Fort Williams...

 

[canadian-clydesdale]

my mistake, when I watched on freecaster, when they did the podium he came out before minnar? maybe the excitement of the podium he couldn't wait to get out there and showered with champagne!

 

[peteypete]

They screwed up the podium order. WHAT A WEEKEND for the the team and Flatline.

 

[rockyuphill]

There was only one other gal that hit that middle jump at full tilt boogie speed and didn't case it. She was really on it at full throttle.

Freecaster has the replays up

She kills it again at Leogang, wins by 3.54 seconds over Ragot and Purin. Atherton DNF'd on that muddy course, big crash apparently.

 

[rockyuphill]

Fer cryin' out loud, that's an insane amount of mud in DH qualifying. She qualified second.

 

[rockyuphill]

That is an insane amount of mud for a DH race, she did a great job to finish 2nd

 

[Pimpride]

Nice Launch --->

Like the color of the bike too. Looks like a pearl-anodized coating.

 

[rockyuphill]

It looks a bit drier in Val di Sole this weekend, her bike is actually clean in the qualifying run.
