WC Finals
After a good qualifier I screwed myself in the semi finals last night. I was winning the semi final when I went a bit too inside in turn 2 and came out of the turn a bit slow and got passed by Prokop. Now in second I was still in position to qualify. There pretty much was not other places to pass on the course after turn 2, but I slid on the wall ride, coming unclipped and losing my speed, allowing Dan Atherton to get by. That was all it took.
Oh well, I can't be too bummed out as I still had the overall title wrapped up. Two of my main goals for the season, winning worlds and winning the world cup overall, which were both achieved, so it was a great season.
Watched the DH today and it was pretty sick. The course was rough with a lot of root sections. Pretty amazing the speeds these guys are going these days. Sam took the win again and the overall. Saladini took the win in the 4x.
The season is over now. It was a long one, but a good one. Looking forward to some time off, just chillin at home and getting back on a normal schedule.
Vegas in about a week for Interbike...
