Fantastic result for Filip. Don't know yet what happened to Mick?

[intenselife]

nearly $20000 aud to polc, not bad.

[Scott]

wow, they are some close times...

[brooko]

Good to see Bryn up there, Sams injured knee is giving him hassles, try pedaling in an astrisk knee brace, gotta be at least 5 seconds right there!:( and jared!

that shirt that girl is wearing is hott!!! :p

[dh squid]

I wonder if she was wearing matching knicks? :o
Cameltoe? sorry probably not funny i'll stop there.

[cuz81]

little maltman too .he's up there 16th. well done. first year o/s

[gleeso]

Reason the aussie's didn't podium 1st thru 5th? They were distracted!:p

Hahahaha. Well said.
Good to see a few aussies up there good job boys!

[Hellie]

Tracey made the start list for the final but didn't race. Mick flatted

[mullan2304]

I'm not suprised to see Filip Polc on the top of the podium. He was super fast last year when he was here and it seems like he's going to be right up there all year. Go Filip!

[jjperko]

Bryn and Neethling are both pretty underrated, less than half a second off Peaty is good to see. Those are some real close times though, I guess BMX tracks lend themselves to that.

[broccoli]

Good to see Bryn up there, Sams injured knee is giving him hassles, try pedaling in an astrisk knee brace, gotta be at least 5 seconds right there!:( and jared!

oh yea im real sure hill would have beaten filip by 3 secs on a track that has only ever seen riders seperated by 1 sec.Go bleinksop doin well for first year in pro.

Tracey made the start list for the final but didn't race. Mick flatted

why didnt tracey race??

[dhd]

Gotta wonder, Filip spent summer here and all of a sudden he's right up there. Is this the reason Aussies are so competitive OS? Year round competition riding?
Or is it the new Turner DHR he's on? Sam Blenkinsop too.....Two DHR's in the top five......I'm diggin it!

[shauno/hillbilly]

mick got flat!!!!!!!!!!!!!nice one Filip must have been all the aussie training in the off season.he is rich now.

[profaine]

Wow the top times are all close but Sam Blenkinsop right up there for his first major year O/S thats a big result! I wonder if he will carry it on? because I know he said he was super focused for this race year!

[Hellie]

why didnt tracey race??

She didn't want to hurt herself, on a track she wasn't comfortable on, before this w'ends world cup race

[faceplant666]

ahhhhh fair enough then

[Maing]

Apparently Willingen wheels of speed have been the most profitable DH race yet. (mainly for racers) I think more people will be coming back to this event next year...
