Stay upright for a start. It'll depend on where the others finish. She might get away with 2 seconds, she might not. 2 wins would be safest.

Bloody clips. :LolLolLolLol:

Mens Strom Day DR
-
shinns got be feeling confident now after that last run :4_17_5:
-
She's going to get gate 5 or 6 I reckon so her start is going to be really important.
I want her to win but I have a feeling that the result will be 1). ACC, 2). Shiny, 3). Sarah Walker :smitten:
-
so it wasnt jus me thinking how fit the kiwi girl is ;D
she is rather saucey
-
I am screamin' for her to win... but I think Zippy could be right...
The start is gonna vital... cos' that french bint is gonna take some realing in...
COME ON SHANAZE.... prove me wrong!!
-
ACC is looking confident. Day to take the mens.
-
I have to say it is great to be watching BMX at this time of the morning, especially as I am at work until 7am. Wastes the nightshift lovely.
-
just hope the 2 french girls dont team up on her

Hmmm, we now have the sport of.....walking. What a contrast.
-
night si
that SA fella caused mid pack carnage there
well its over
heartrate is below 300 again LOL
-
Bed then... hell of a night!!
I wont be able to sleep now... ???
nite folks! ;)
-
I thought that she was a wrestler judging by how often she was on the floor. ;D
I don't think Shanaze will be riding BMX in 2012 I think she will be on the track team (providing there is a race for her at the 2012 Olympics)
-
right off to bed for a couple of hours :daumenhoch:
nitey nite
-
sarah walker fan club tomorrow :daumenhoch:
-
blimey just seen that post race interview with Shinny
looks like she been in a war
and sounded really down
poss bust wrist
:(
-
Gutted for our girl Shanaze but she is still the best female BMX racer ever, it just didn't go her way on the day.
Gotta admire her guts for picking herself up from several bad slams and giving it her all. Also gotta admire her gold or bust attitude fighting all the way to the last berm and then still going for it when in a comfy silver medal place. Much more to come from Ms Reade. No reason why she can't be a multi medal winner like Chris Hoy at London 2012 if she mixes track and BMX.
As for Sarah Walker, I agree with the previous comments :smitten:

yep sometimes its gold or nothing no real prizes for second place she gave 100% and in my book that makes her a champion
-
Yep im gutted for Shanaze :(
after she lost it on the berm in the first seeding run she did not look that confident on the berms
do you think the bike was set up ok for that surface?
But the girl gave it 100% and that is all we can ask she is still number one in my book :4_17_5:

A lot was said about her bike set up before she left for China (a lot of us questioned why she had changed set up from a bike she won the test event in 2007 and the world title in 2008 on to a frame with new geometry and experimental forks so close to the event), but at the end of the day, it wasn't about the bike, she just wasn't her normal 110% confident self around that berm after all of her crashes, and she might have been better off choosing an outside gate (i.e. gate 3 or 4) to have got a better line around the berm, cos with her gate and pull, she was always gonna be first to the berm anyway.
What's done is done. Shanaze is still UK BMX's national treasure and she'll be back better and stronger once the disappointed fades.
-
Totally agree Mike classic slingshot move that you cant do from the inside,
she also got more cranks in after the 2nd double on the 1st straight even
my mrs noticed noticed that.
-
Couldn't believe it... gutted for her!! :-\
It really was all or nothing!! Big respect for her though carrying on after all those slams!! :daumenhoch:
Who wants to join the Sarah Walker Stalkers club?

why did she change bikes then mike , different sponser or what
-
Did'nt know about the bike thing >:(
But i think from that first crash on the first day she has never looked confident going into the first berm, it shook her up and she never quiet got it right from there on. :-\
Hope she sticks with the sport though because she showed true fighting spirit and if she carries on like that she will become Olympic champion for sure :4_17_5:
-
I can't understand why everyone was favouring lane 1 all the time as it left you with a reduced set of options when you arrived at the first 180 degree corner.
It's not a big issue as I think Stromberg liked to use it as well but I know from experience that the middle lanes are always favoured at every track I've ever raced on.
