Erzburg 2012

[NordieBoy]

David Knight has had a good fall in a prologue and is in hospital overnight under observation. They don't know if he'll make the start.

Most of the riders want a bit of rain as the track is really dry and dusty.

Some interesting names there...
Graeme Jarvis, Julien DuPont, Dougie Lampkin.
Chris Birch doing commentary.

The race proper starts Sunday lunchtime over there...
Which is our midnightish Sunday night :(

[NordieBoy]

[NordieBoy]

Shit, it looks like Taddy is racing!

:woohoo:

[NordieBoy]

Taddy's 2nd in the prologue ahead of Stefan Everts and Johnny Walker.

Or is that from 2011?

Not clear from the footage :(

[NordieBoy]

Last years footage...

No Taddy this year.

Go Jarvis!

[NordieBoy]

Knighter didn't get a chance to qualify on the second day as it was cancelled due to the rain.

7:30s to the start...

[NordieBoy]

Goooooooo!!!!!

[NordieBoy]

Jarvis and Letti have both been dq'd for missing a checkpoint!

[NordieBoy]

Johnny Walker 14mins over Lars Enockl who is 2min ahead of Dougie Lampkin...

[NordieBoy]

Dougie passed Lars with Paul Bolton and Ben Hemmingway close behind.

[NordieBoy]

Jarvis and Letti are still riding. They don't know they've been dq'd.

[NordieBoy]

Johnny Walker is blitzing the track!

[NordieBoy]

Jarvis has passed Walker for the "lead".

[NordieBoy]

Jarvis's face when Karl Katoch told him he'd been dq'd...

[NordieBoy]

Johnny said he heard Jarvis was dq'd and cruised. Jarvis wasn't told till the finish.

[NordieBoy]

About 15min back to Dougie in 2nd.

[NordieBoy]

Jarvis and Letti both missed a section according to Karl Katoch.
That makes 3 years in a row for Jarvis being dq'd.

[NordieBoy]

Letti didn't get told till the finish either.

It all happened in the thick fog high on the mountain.
Letti was in front of Jarvis at that point.

[NordieBoy]

Oh man, Dougies technique through Dynamite is insane :D

[NordieBoy]

Ben Hemmingway 3rd into Dynamite.

[NordieBoy]

Ben 3rd into the finish.

Podium cleansweep for the Brits.

[ADVGD]

Awesome riding. Carl's Dinner, what a section!

[NordieBoy]

Awesome riding. Carl's Dinner, what a section!

Has a real "Awakino Gorge" feel to it.

It appears that Birchy is riding?

[NordieBoy]

It appears that Birchy is riding?

Nope. He's just a common tater.

Riding Romaniacs next week though.

[.chris]

Nope. He's just a common tater.

Riding Romaniacs next week though.

Yeah, that is what I thought, but have seen him racing 2x, and even been mentioned by name in the footage.

[NordieBoy]

Yeah, that is what I thought, but have seen him racing 2x, and even been mentioned by name in the footage.

The ran a lot of 2011 footage without specifying it was last year...

[.chris]

The ran a lot of 2011 footage without specifying it was last year...
