Where is your pride man!!! Hmmmm (I now get mocked for tan lines year round rather than just summer after the first warm, fine day - badges of honour!)

Well I was extremely impressed with Rosara, she's obviously tough and fit, the race looked very hard, Gunn Rita after all DNFed.
And that crash photo was not embarrassing, man crashes happen and she got back up, regained a place and finished a very good 9th.

XC racing looks boring because of the way it is covered. If the TDF was covered by one or two guys who took a few poorley angled shots as the riders went by it wouldn't look very exciting either.

Also, dirty girls are hot.

It might be possible to make DH exciting live viewing - but it would involve designing a course around cameras, to provide long sweeping views of sections, ala super G skiing.

Also, even if for insane reason they actually did include Dh and 4x, all the various busy body authorities involved are not in the business of putting olympic caliber athletes in wheel chairs, so I wouldn't be expecting EXXXXTREME course design.

No need for 4x, the skills between bmx and 4x are interchangable, and bmx has the history and the olympic nod already. Anne Caro wanted to be an olympian, she got off the mtb and got onto a bmx. Good for her. Double Thumbs Up
