Worlds

Post by andrewnewman » Sat Jan 31, 2015 9:20 am

In terms of tomorrow's team championships, I'm teetering towards the "can't be bothered to spend two hours on a train and clean my bike one more time" camp. I'm not saying I'm not racing, but if I were to not race, I'd conceivably be watching the pro's do it right in Tabor, from Look Mum No Hands. Any takers?

Rubbish, huh :cry:

...because Eurosport are showing DELAYED highlights. And they're not even showing the Junior race.

Good call, thanks. They didn't have that one when I looked earlier.

Wow! That Danish kid was amazing.

So I missed it but they're suggesting on Twitter that Iserbyt lost it because he started on Grifo tyres, wanted to swap to muds but his spare bike was also shod with Grifos :roll: Still a big gap to the winner though...

First Brit in 29th, I think. Alfie Moses from Bradford in 36th.

Anyhoo, the genius that is Chris Clague told me to buy this to get round the Geo restriction:

https://my.witopia.net/?a=services&_ga= ... 1422697608

Go for the Personal VPN (Basic) at $5.99 per month and just buy a 1 month sub.

Once you've signed up, go to your account and download/install the software. You get an icon on the menu bar at the top of the screen (assuming you're on a mac) and you just select whatever country you want to be 'in'.


So if you're fed up with the Polish adverts then you can pretend you're in Brussels and watch via Sporza 8)

And with no adverts! Sporza have the last lap on a link on the home screen - well worth a watch for the 2nd place battle. Feel sorry for the American.

Gage Heche is only 17. He can have another go next year!

Top Brit was actually 14th. Will Gascoyne. Great result! Any idea who he is?

Btw - next year in Zolder. That's in Belgium. Just sayin' :wink:
