Despite the threat of heavy rain in this afternoon’s finals of Round 4 of the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup here in Vallnord, Andorra, the light drizzle never evolved into anything that would have an impact on the racing, much to the relief of the attending crowd and race teams who all hoped for a clean race. Given what took place last year in Andorra, there were some anxious faces looking to the sky as the clouds rolled in, but in the end, the racing was tight and exciting, and full of drama.

And or mountains are pretty cool yeah the video appears pretty epic like pretty much anywhere you’re at pull your eyes spinning circle open you’re looking at a good view it’s weird how I just don’t know we’re in court he like hesitate if they endure because it is

What we’re is I’m going to friend respect it’s a weird sub but you know it’s like a principality and it’s equally run by Prince of Spain and the Prince of Brent it’s a half French and half Spain awesome venue comes an interest in all happens here which is perfect

Spectacular ha ha right here though nice and sunny Oh rain for died this morning 93 are you oh yeah pretty good wander out up it’s blue in last night and we just got to the tip the guys are just setting everything up we just live the dream

Like everything good to be like in the best shape but I dislocated my shoulder and normally sungeum story will be like right in my back so it’s not more racing for me this year it makes for injury in six months it feels like a team is complete again it’s

Really good time she’s helping me because like each crippled I’m crippled between the two if you make one for most real / – yes definite common team laughs – rectus it’s sitting out there as a chair do you like old ladies who can walk well on a

Drive past them and I’m like jealous right now oh I damaged my back then kind of pretty bad and then last week I rode the bike park one day and what’s Larry Wow I don’t know just like they woke up and couldn’t walk no we’d both rather be doing our job

Yeah sure but we have to sit here watch in the meantime first the cruz de curtis the window halfway through dropping like flies we lost BAM realize angel full legal trip after my crashing leo gang when I got home my doctor told me that I had a broken skateboard and that was

Definitely a bummer at this time in a season but that’s the situation I’ve got let’s connect most of it come back strong I stubbed my thumb I mean you got the worst of it definitely got the worst thing yes I don’t know I was open full fenders was all about portended life and

Options at LAN or maybe lefland insert hooks down and then cut up I’ll say last time you go outside inside super kicker off the roof what yup you want me to fix it okay Jeff when an old host mourn souls we got down there oh good techniques technique is pretty

Good they use like four different drain methods on this course they’ve got the concrete one and that’s don’t do it stop Democrat will run it out like don’t let it out you’re too hot too hot a hole against over here kinda smoke of the brothers casket steeper than a

Horse’s face I said anything I’m going to come up with you’re going to be slick this looks gnarly this is sick though I mean I like this sort of stuff I think it’s just going to get really running so it’s going to be a rut pull it down

It’s all stop licking so fast this is already pretty it’s going to be real fast after throwing up a lot of food so [Applause] Pretty good on the bike today I had sections which was better rotting I’ve ever done you would pull over he’d say all crushed that section I hope so because that was incredibly fast go to the library cause it’s like when the teachers looking over your paper while your worship can never like kind

Of nervous but I want to do a good job I definitely feel better top to bottom here than I’ve ever felt before and of course is so fun from the time I’m holding back like I loved wheels tonight so I think by Sunday all these into enough where hopefully I can put a

Really good on together that I feel like the pace is there I’m just hoping the weather stays consistent Today with qualifying day everything went pretty well it’s been a pretty good weekend so far I think leaving the pits now like the first 30 seconds of the track or just a all-out sprint like on the pedal like pumping pedaling all radio updates as you get them please or Derrick process

Insulted your of the first to listen to six and two thirds over that third sector that’s like a second half did my best and it wasn’t good enough if I’m out there racing I’m trying to like push my limits as far as I can and find the

Edge of traction and go as fast I can through these holes and now I’m like where’s the smoothest way where’s the least likely I’m going to blow my hand off thank you know what having everyone to go a long long way down let’s just say incoming the houston survivor

Together living you live in thickness of the pipe second we’ve got a few little lines that I think I can find that time tomorrow and I think I can ride that the top in the middle a little better too so feeling pretty good they are food I want

Two eggs over-easy over a bed a half brown butter and toast epic pancakes with bacon and good syrup I’m in chicken nuggets good Japanese food fried rice I could have eaten mountains of that pancake pizza probably burrito for lunch my favorite coffee is just like regular drip coffee in the morning or usually

Run so when it’s finally the day to get er done I’m excited Definitely like it was a little bit of strategy like coming in here I wasn’t even sure what I’d be able to do hope that it would be just okay and I wouldn’t feel it but it’s definitely holding me back a lot this weekend my cousins are movies well I fancy right

Now be still on the bike number one priority was not to make it any worse deeper sections were the parts that are giving me the most trouble there’s a little bit hard on my wrist but I’m reason about yeah more on Amina Myron ended up being smooth and it was the

Second map you can partition the spirit solid run more than made my wrists hurting the content garages level is the most important thing it’s natural instinct to want to protect yourself so far just over I could have could have pulled the pin in our races I’ve ever ridden do but I

Did the best I could and I noticed this bill 15th and the overall so Swift Shona got another week of heel time until dominations extracts can be much shorter should work out let’s go to nice and was pretty fun man like my head comes sections really good and then good yeah

Runs like a hit my lines pretty good it felt pretty good I just like in bed I was like I was kind of in that mode where I thought it was good enough at my pace to win so I wasn’t really pushing for more believe he’s really found to

Fight a little angry can enjoy one day it’s just a fun year dude like everyone’s battling everybody’s rotting well yeah so it’s nice we made better memories here this year they’ve all been bad memories in the past every year kind of crash or like laughter I felt good
