Erzberg 2026 Off Cuts And B-Roll. Prologue And Pit Bits.

Who was that? They were tapped! I like this corner. Makes it look fast, doesn't it? 14 years I've been doing it, so... Yeah, first one you've watched? Yes. Crazy, huh? Well, second one, the one I broke my leg in 17, too. Ah, you did the prologue and then you chilled. Yes. Yeah, it was a little bit unknown with the bike. Not done so much testing, that's the thing, but... We're going to probably change two modes. Mode 4 in the turns and then a 5 for the straight. You're going to adjust it as you go? Yeah, it's pretty quick, but just two options on this. Right. And it's just more power for the straights? Yeah, exactly. So more power, but a little bit less control. So 4 will have a little bit more control in the turns. Cool. Something else to think about as well, eh? Yeah, exactly. It's learning a little bit and getting used to change. Like a dog, eh? Like, perfect. Skinner's here! How are you, boy? Did you have a good night's sleep? Five hours. I've done this quite a few times, so I'm not really that nervous. No, it should be alright. You're a bit nervous. I have. I've been here before, it's not my first time. I don't know how many prologues I've done. I've won. Yeah. Need the 450, really. The 250's not bad. We still had a good top speed last year. Yeah, but because it's not super powerful, it kind of grips, if you know what I mean. So, it'll be good. I'll be good. I'll yee-wound on. Did you have a good sleep? Yeah, I always sleep good, me. Yeah. Unless I'm a bit too hot, and then I struggle. But apart from that, I can just rest easy nowadays. The pressure on the tyres. Yeah, exactly that. How are you? Very good, you? Good to see you. Good to see you, too. How did the rocket ride go? It was fun. I enjoyed it. It was my first time in 12th edition that I had the opportunity to race. This time with a 450 and TCF model. But, yeah, it was fun. You didn't qualify? No, I was just like... There was 48 going to the final. I was like 54. But you can see the winner make 20 seconds. I did 23.5. So, it was super tight. Cool to see Sebastian win, eh? Yeah. This is super cool. Yeah, yeah, super cool. Such a legend of the sport. Yeah. But, yeah, next time I will bring bigger engine and I will fight for it. Yeah, or the 1000 even. Yeah. But it's nice. Good luck today. Thank you. Cheers. Erzberg 2026. We've got first run of the prologue. Manny's up first. Pretty wet. Pretty miserable. Let's see what he's got. Whoa. Crushed in the front there a bit. Cody Webb on the four stroke. Sounds pretty good, eh? I like that. You taking some time out? No, I'm just waiting for Ash. Right. He's coming now. He's here. Is he looking good? Yeah. But, yeah, I had a good run. Sweet. We're safe. We're healthy. You're at the top here talking to me. Yeah. Here's Ash. How's it going? Is he looking clean? Yeah. No crack. Good lad. But, yeah. Ready? Yeah. How's the start on the? Sketchy. Yeah? Yeah. Moving around a lot. Yeah. Moving around a lot. Yeah. Don't use the hard tires. Yeah, and they don't stick to the ground. No. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So. But you survived? Yeah. I survived. No crashes. You got a bit of pressure on now after Seb. Yeah, yeah. He gonna be fast. You got a high standard, eh? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you can go into the outsides and you don't have to worry about. Ferg, mate. Maybe I'm on the podium. I'm probably on the podium on a ******* Erzberg Rodeo Prologue. This never happened. Early days though, eh? Early days, man. And both of the first guys are not even starting, like, Sunday. So, you know what? I will go down with number one, maybe. This is the new Nanny, eh? Man. Had a baby. Yeah. Got a bit more aggressive. Just commitment. You know what was the secret? I ran an A-star airbag today and I felt much safer. Really? I felt actually pretty safer. Sponsor stream, man. Man, sponsor stream. This is what you do. If I whack you really hard on the back, will it sit off? Maybe. So don't do it. Congratulations, man. Congratulations. I think you need, like, the algorithm is too good that, like, it's... I hope so. Nah, it shouldn't. I hope it's clever. Maybe if I jump on the floor it just, like, pops up. You can try it later. Yeah, maybe. Good man. Yeah. I feel really comfortable on this bike now, so, like... Cool. I could push and I think I'm 14 for now, so... Sweet. For me it's good. That's all you need, eh? Yeah. I need to learn how to go fast. What music were you listening to? A little bit of reggae into a bit of country. Just to keep me calm and not get me too excited. So, hang on. So Redford rides with, like, an earpiece in and he's got his Bluetooth on. He listens to music. So I think next run tomorrow I'm going to be listening to something a bit heavier. Yeah. Something a bit more energetic and get going. A bit more anger, maybe. Yeah. That's what I need. Tomorrow's another day. Exactly. Right, peace. James' first prologue. First prologue. Went pretty good, I think. Cool. You enjoyed it or just scared the whole time? I actually wasn't scared at all. My suspension felt really good. Yeah? What do you reckon? Oh, still the most fun I've had on a bike. You love it? Yeah, I love it. Why? The buzz you get, you just sketch your moment, you laugh in your helmet. Yeah. For sure it's scary, but I think once you go off the grate, you just love it. Yeah. Hell yeah! So much fun, eh? So much fun. My clutch moves so much. That's it. So timing beams just down over here. When everybody's thinking this structure behind us is the timing beam. Listen, it's every year, right? Right. Everyone goes super fast through here. Well, I just keep it pinned until somebody tells you to stop. Till you hit the poor timing girl. You have to. Poltara should be somewhere now, shouldn't it? Probably, yeah. Toby Martin on the start! That's two bikes there, couldn't be more different. Kevin Gallis on the other Yamaha. Big boy, big bike. This is Tom Scales. This boy knows how to twist it. I really wish this f***ing camera would focus. Who's this? Rich Murau. She's gone past him. He's ignorant. Come on, mate. She's alive. I'm alive. I had a slow crash in one of the slower corners. Lucky me. But, yeah, I lost a few seconds. But, let's see. You never know. Yeah. No sleep for the wicked, eh? Did I say you nearly crashed? Yeah. I was like, stood there and I was like, here comes... I was like, here's Tom Scales. And I was like, here's Tom Scales. He knows how to twist it. Boom, and it swings around. And then I get you. It's like in focus. And then you go through the corner. And as you swap, it just loses focus. Yeah. And I'm like, safe. I hit the berm. I thought I was going to spray nicely and it looked cool. Yeah, I mean, it did look good. It looked exciting. And then it just caught traction. It just went... Yeah. Big power wheelie. Yeah, it was good though. Keep it up. You're dependable. Like, you're so dependable for these shots. I see you and I'm like, right, this needs to count. Yeah. Had a little tip over yesterday. Yeah. And obliterated my air box. I don't know how it happened. But come around and have a look here. What do you think of that? Oh, that's nice. That is a 5 liter Liqui Moly coolant bottle. If I don't say... If I don't mind saying so myself. It wasn't really me who did it, but... This guy won't die. Morning. Oh! Show me again. I'm not sure if I should go or not. Did you do it on both bikes? Yesterday, yes. Which one was faster? Faster with the small bike. But so much fun with the big bike. It's so stable and go full gas. Drifting. Tristan Hart. Johnny, run 2 on the 4 stroke. Paul there in pursuit as well. Deceivingly fast there. Inside line. And he's not making any noise. But I think that was pretty quick. And that was a gear too high. First... Oh, not your first time spectating, is it? No, but to be fair, last time I spectated I didn't actually come and watch the prologue. Right. Just went to the start. I actually wanted to get to where... You know when you go past that building? Yeah. But we were too late, so I got stuck here. Right. Oh, it's Mario. Mario does like to race. Go on, boy. Oh, bit of a bubble there. He's gone inside. Carl Flanagan. Oh, boy! Not his best work. But he got around the corner. Not too bad. Jack Price. Oh, Pricey! Hey! Whoever this is, is looking really fast. Looking really good. Who was that? Hey, we're tapped. It's been raining yesterday, so it's like... Thanks, Bobfish. Just ruined my shot. Bastard. Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo! I like this corner. Makes him look fast, doesn't it? Woo! Oh, boy! That's Chris Gunderman, one of the KTM test riders. God damn it! Yeah, so, they did actually grade. They fixed the track all the way to the top, didn't they? They did. Man, they must have spent quite a lot of time. That's the first time in 30 years! What an honour to witness it, eh? Yeah, they actually fixed the track. To be honest, it should be done, shouldn't it? It should be done. Should do it every year. Because it is too sketchy. I just pointed out some big holes on the side of the track. It was if Lenny Grudensky rode straight over it, both legs off it. It was on the exit of the turn. Up here? Yeah, just where you just switch. Oh, coming down. First right-hander before you come to the last major left. Yeah. Have a stunt. Shall we do a stunt? I'm not very good at stunts. Phil's not here to do stunts. I suck. Did you see him? He was on the end of that. Oh! This is Wade from Aussie. ------- legend. Bit of a pinner. Go on, Wade! Yes! I presume it was you sat in the corner over there. Yeah. Come down, senior. I was like, Skinner's going to be on the camera. I've got to dial this corner in. Come out wide. I was bigging you out. Oh, he almost dropped it. What's he got? I was like, what have I done? I was like, not his best hour. Not the finest moment. No, no. I was hoping you were deleting or you didn't film it. But I'm sure you did. Some poor soul's got to watch that in the editing suite. Nice. That's what you're going to be doing up hill. These hills later. We're going for a ride, Rob. Bloody right we are. I'm fuelling up, mate. Hey, look at that. See, Ed's gone to sort the bike. His bike out. Ed's gone to get some boots. Oh, has he? Oh, he's keen. He wants to settle well. He said he doesn't feel safe in trainers. Oh, mate. Anyway, nice to meet you. I'm Rob. Yeah, Rob. Hey. Nice to meet you, mate. All right. You all right? Yeah. Let's hang out. I feel like I know you from somewhere. Sent you back, mate. A couple of weeks chopped off. Well, **** off with that camera. You just don't like it because someone else is doing it now. Exactly. I am the media. You can't be everything, man. You can't be all things to all people. Are you going back in the commentary box again? I think for a little bit, yeah. There's probably the strongest alpha male in the paddock. Is that what you think? That's genuinely what I reckon. So good. You made a happy man now. He needs more volume in that tax, though. I'm trying to let it grow, but it just doesn't happen. I have to take it back out. You can't be good at everything, eh, man? You can't be good at everything. You're right. I said he had a little bit of a Freddie Mercury vibe to him. A little bit of Freddie Mercury? What do you mean, Freddie Mercury? He likes boys as well. Shut the **** up. It did not go down well, eh? Don't say that. Before you didn't say that, is that what you said before? Am I playing an alpha male? I'm trying to inflate his ego again. Alpha male is what he likes to be called. Alpha male. Real ******* puppy dog, that's what he is. Bicycle, bicycle. I want to ride my bicycle. I'm glad you're still here. I'm glad you actually went to the hospital, actually. Who do you think Mark looks like? I'll give you a stinger or something like that. Mark, he kind of gives like a queen vibe. It's like he's got the little flaps. Just put it on if we have fish, but he's going to be so upset when you do. I'm so sorry, Mark. I'm really sorry I started this. You look like Burt Reynolds. I got Burt Reynolds over here. Nigel Mansell. Nigel Mansell is a good one, actually, for you right now. Happy to be compared to Nigel Mansell. This is like a little Freddie Mercury vibe. I think it's his build, too. Look at that. You got a second pair of socks for him. You should actually just put your insole up, your walking boot in. I'll have another trainer. That'll tighten him up a bit. Double insole. Good trick there. No video without me out on, mate, please. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Who are you going to laugh at? Huh? Who are you going to laugh at? Not yet. I'm going to come on the back of you when you do one. Yeah. If you've done three and a half grand, would you be happy? You're not the youngest, are you? I can work with it. You know what I mean? Trying to get Ed to do this hill climb, basically. That was Paul. We've got Rob and Ed there. Rob will be okay. You coming down? Oh. Oh, no. Oh, he's done the big re-entry. He is going way too fast. Who's going to go back down there that fast? The re-entry. Me too. He rode it out, though. Good lad. Big Ed, take three. He's already in trouble on take three. He's cooped it. Go on. How's it going? How bad is it on a scale of one to ten? You didn't race last year. Yeah, I didn't race last year. I got to Motorex. Drier or not? Yes, drier, for sure. In the trees, it's still a bit damp. But with the sun going, it's good. Yeah. I reckon you got it. Might win, then. Yeah, I put money on it. Thank you. Oh, I didn't see you there, Willis. Oh, that hurts. What have we got there? Creamed rice? Yeah, rye pudding. Oh. Did you get Asda over here? Yeah. He knows where to find them. He's such good stuff, he brought you with him. He has the rations from the war. With my camel pack into a nice comfy pillow. Yeah. Sat down here for a while. Do what you've got to do. A little power nap before the start. Save energy. Just be discussive. We think that we're going to go into the living room at home and I'm going to just get rid of all my sofas and I'm going to take some stones and I'm going to put them on my hard floor at home and I'm just going to sit there and watch TV because I'm so comfortable right now. In my knee brace and my boots, I think. At least you've got shade, eh? Think of the positives. Yeah. They must have listened to you, Joe. Yeah, we're not here for long, are we? Normally, yeah. Or you're crowded under the weird arch of a truck. Yeah, or one umbrella between five people. We're not here for long, are we? Like Will says, we're just here for a minute. 15 minutes. Drop you down, get you going quickly. You don't want them dehydrating. I've got a question for you. What is your thoughts on the pitting situation? What about it? Well, anyone with a fuelled bike has to build a bike themselves, do their camelback themselves, eat themselves. The Starks, they get two mechanics per rider. Buy a Stark. Simple, really, isn't it? But then on the hill climbs, I think the Starks have a big advantage just because you're not changing gear on the hill climbs. My God, stop complaining, would you? I'm not one to moan, but Stark, if you're looking for a new rider, I've seen space in that tent for next year. I won't moan, though. You don't do thumb throttle on them. Jarvis has got a thumb throttle on one of the Jarvis. Does he really? Yeah, Graham's mechanic on one of the designers of it rides with a thumb throttle. You're inspiring a new generation. I'm going to have to extricate myself from here. I'm going to sit here for an hour and use all my battery and all my foot. It's going to be too enjoyable. I think we're ready, Mike. Yeah, getting a few pointers. Yeah, I'm helping them out. We're packing a Star, about to clear some rocks. Yeah, we're going to throw them in everyone else's line. You've ridden the first section of the track. Yeah. You took some notes on some lines? I took some notes. Carry speed. Don't get hung up in the fourth tree level because that's where I needed assistance. We got you there, though. I needed a ******* tag partner. And then you got some expertise from Paul Bolton to get up the water pipe. Yeah, that was super helpful. Yeah, a bit of a rev up at the bottom. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, do a little double and then... You probably won't need to do that. No, I'm going to hug the inside. Yeah? I think so. Full, tight inside. Yeah. It's a 300. If it's a 250, maybe not, but 300's got it. Yeah, we'll talk about it. 300. Easy. A couple of more ponies, you know? Yeah. Let them loose. Yeah, let them loose. You lose a little bit top end, though, to be fair. Yeah, but that's not about it, though, is it? I don't care about top end. Sonny. Ciao, Dragon. How are you? Why you don't have the bike here? Because it's easier with the camera, eh? We miss you. Nobody pays me to ride the bike, but they pay me with the camera. Okay, next year I will buy a camera, too. Yeah, cool. We join and we go together, eh? How's the banana? You want my banana? No, I'm okay. You need it more than me. You need the energy. Good one, Sonny. Put in this front corner. Huh? We're going to have to put in this front corner. Hard. Huh, Mike? Yeah? Is that a ride news about? No. How about that, eh? Funny old lad, man. How are you? Good, and you? Good, too. How was it this year for you? On the mountain. How did the prologue run? And where did you place yourself here in the starting line-up? This year went very well. I come directly from an injury. From a meniscus operation. That was good. Cheese and ham. Yeah. Simple. That's what your normal go-to? No, not really, but it was the option for today. So if it's a good result today, cheese and ham. Good? Yeah. When did you go to sleep? Three. Three? Yeah. How did you get home? How are you, buddy? All right, Mike? Skinner's here, and he's always there. Great Skinner. Is this the mic for that mic? Your different mics? You could do it. 30 seconds. I was going to go for black kit this morning, and then I changed my mind. I thought I'm going to go white because she's going to be hot out there today. But I have still got black boots. I should have gone white. My kit doesn't really match, but I'm trying to stay cool. You're going to do a Will Hall? Yeah. Yeah, just go. I'm assuming this log's a bit anti-bump jumpstart. Is that what that's for? That's the idea, I think. Not a bad idea, to be honest. Quite sensible, really. The starts have been horrific. They heard Will Hall's back. Yeah, Will Hall's back this year, so they've had to put a lot of the stuff they've set up. I'll tell you to turn your engine off now. Really? The thing with the electric bikes is they're always on. Is it true that you're allowed two mechanics? No, only electric bikes. Yeah, that's what I mean. What the hell, Dom? Feeling it. Are you ready for war, eh? As ready as I can be. Where are you planning on throwing that away? Probably when it hits the forest. Probably when it falls off itself? Yeah. As long as it keeps a few stones off me, that's all I want. Good luck, eh? All right. What do we reckon? Are you going straight up? Are we going straight up the hill or down on the tiki-taki? A little bit of chum and then straight. Martin, what do you reckon? Are they going straight? Yeah. And then what about these rocks here? Yeah. No, I don't think so. Yeah. Well, whatever happens, we're about to find out. Let's go. This is the main track guy. And here's Manny, you can hear him coming in now. I think the others are battling a bit more than you. You think so? Yeah. No, you're looking good through there. You know you're going to Carl's Diner now? Yeah. Cool. You got it. Yeah, boy! You thought it was funny I'm falling over, eh? Yes. I look like Lloyd from Dumb and Dumber. Yeah, there he is. No, I was gutted, mate, because I felt like I was riding really good as well. Yeah, you were. Because I didn't get the best of start. Well, I got a good start, but I didn't feel tired. You got a good start? Yeah, I didn't feel tired. I felt like I was pushing. Did you go hard at the start like you said you would? Yeah, I just didn't let up. Normally, I try and get into a bit of a rhythm, and I was like, nah, just keep going. Just push. Yeah, so in the bottom section of Carl's, just after I saw you, I caught them two again. Tristan and Mitch. With no water? Yeah. And then I kind of didn't get up the hill because I was losing power. Because it was like, ding, ding, ding, ding. And another go up the hill, and then after Machine, I caught Mitch again. Yeah. But then that was it. Yeah, well, I came into it when you were there. You did? I couldn't believe you were that high up. I couldn't believe the bike was still going. But you couldn't fix it in service? I don't think so. They said it was leaking from a different area in service. Yeah, but that's maybe, I don't know if I've done that radiator as well. When I threw you first back to me, that's what was going on. Yeah, I remember. I hit that tree right next to where you were, didn't I? Yeah, just below me, yeah. And it must have just put it, and I was like... I just need to stay away from you. Yeah, don't come next time. You stay at home. Mr. Mike Skinner. Ladies and gentlemen. What place are you going? Port. Are you happy? Yeah. I mean, I'm happy with my riding. Yeah. So, nothing more to do? No. You're happy with the riding? It's secondary, right? I was riding very clean for how hard the track was. Yeah. That was the cleanest riding I have done in Erzberg. Really? Like, you weren't bouncing off the rocks as much? You were like in control more? Yeah, I never really fell off the bike. Right. I don't remember. Maybe I have tumbled a little bit somewhere. But not like crash. Not crash, yeah. And this has never happened in Erzberg for me. I consider it a success, you know? Yeah, I rode clean, so I'm happy. Of course, I would have liked to be on the podium, but that was my best performance for the day. So, I'm fourth. And it's okay. You gave everything. Yes. It's okay. Cool, man. The top three guys, we all know them. So, they're not random riders. No surprises, right? Yeah, yeah. What do you think about the electric bikes? How well they did? I don't know. Well, what did they do? They all finished. The two Starks and Graham. I don't know the positions, but they finished. Yeah. Well, it's a different thing. Like, riding without clutch and without gears. Would you ride one? Would you race one? At the moment, Sherco doesn't make electric ones, so I'm really happy with the two-stroke. Yeah. But I think it's like a completely different thing, in a way. Yeah. You don't have to manage so many things, like gears, clutch. There are many uphills where we're like, should I go first or second? I go second, and then, oh ----, I should have went in first. Yeah, that's all. Yeah, that's true. For sure, there are also some downsides, but I would say it's a completely different bike. I have never ridden one, so no comment. You can ask the boys about them. Thank you. Well done. Thank you. It's so cool. Yeah, it's so difficult. Yeah, I'm very happy to finish this race. It's my first time here. Yeah. I finished. It's very good. Amazing. Yeah, the start was so ----. I crashed. I lost a lot of position. It's okay, but you can show it. Yeah, yeah. The gas dealer gave me good speed. I'm very happy. Amazing. Enjoy, yeah? Yeah, thank you. Cheers. The look of fear you have. You have all in video. Like panicking. I could see you were like... Yeah, yeah. I cannot believe this. No, it was a nightmare. People will not believe the feeling, but you have it in video, so I hope they see it. It's okay. So happy for you guys. Yeah, I'm so happy for this, for the factory and all things. I let these guys talk. Cheers, Eddie. Cheers. Shit. You caught me lose two ---- places. Yeah, true. That last bit. I'm really impressed with how exciting you are, though. Yeah, I've got to be. It keeps me going. Like, literally, I start talking and then it kind of hypes me up a little bit. When I'm like... Blinkers, I just can't do it. I've got to be a bit stupid. Probably my ADHD coming out as soon as I see a camera. But I guess you're on the right bike trip. Like, it's quiet. Yeah, that's what I mean. I could talk to the media. Yeah, it's good crap. But no. Mate, buzzing. Job done. Tell me what went through your head when Graham passed you at the bottom of Lazy Mountain. Oh, my God. It was like a trials bicycle, just going, whoop, whoop. I couldn't believe it. It's like he, like, limitated it. Yeah. And the best part is, you know, for a fact, it didn't even phase him. Like, he wasn't even... I'd be buzzing with that bike. But yeah, so... He did it and then he kind of looked over and was like, ----, that went easy. But yeah, nah. That's it. Yeah, two annoying places, but we got to the finish. Yeah. That was the aim, like, to get, well, three electric bikes especially, like, two starts, like, actually buzzing Eddie in the top ten. So you were... I was 12th, yeah. I mean, it's still a fairytale. Oh, mate, honestly. It's still the first time you've had a proper go at this race. Yeah, that's what I mean. And first, yeah, first ever go at the Berg, like, properly. And yeah, I did actually enjoy it. Halfway through, I was kind of hating it because I just felt so bad, like, just so tired. And the pace is so fast at the start. Oh, my God. It's wild how quick everyone goes. I couldn't believe it. I came off fourth, and I was behind Manny. You had such a good start. Yeah, sixth up, and then I was like, literally can't see anything. It was just dust, and all I could see was Manny's head bobbing up and down. I'm like, I've just got to follow that and hope that he's in the right line. It was, like, the scariest thing. And then you look behind, you see someone else behind, and I was like, no, I've got to keep going. But I ended up getting caught up in the woods behind a Honda, so... Yeah, he did me in, so it is what it is. But, yeah, buzzing. Amazing. Enjoy. Yeah, thank you very much. Cheers. We got the flag. It took me a whole year to get it all sorted. There's Fingback supporters here. All the way, you've come to support him, yeah? Yeah, absolutely. Awesome. He delivered as well, eh? He did, eh? Worthwhile. Did very, very well. What a day, eh? Oh, huge day. Huge, huge day. It was good. It's a buzz, eh? Yeah. Riding with the helicopter above you and... Honestly, it's pretty much a blur. Like, it feels like the start was ten minutes ago. Yeah. Honestly, yeah. Yeah, it feels like I'm a bit of deja vu now. Yeah, but... Amazing. Yeah, I rode really well, so I'm happy. You rode good, eh? Because you started pretty good, and then you came on through. Like, you pushed through the halfway. Yeah, so I had quite a good start. I was behind Ash. Yeah. And then I passed... Ash got stuck, and I think it was Teo and Eddie went into him, and I found another line around them. So I was in a good position from the start, but I wasn't riding too well. Right. Like, just making mistakes, not having everything perfectly clean and wasting a little bit of energy in some places. Yeah. So I decided to let them pass and just follow them a bit, like through Coles Diner Light and... Mm-hmm. Yeah, the techer sections. And the second time we went into Coles Diner, I rode really well. Like, no mistakes. Yeah, because when you arrived at Segway, you'd really come through. Yeah, like, other guys would say they were cramping, and... Yeah. But I felt really strong. I think my nutrition was quite good. Right. I timed my gels quite well. Yeah. So, yeah, I think... I think I rode quite a mature race for... For a first timer. For a rookie, yeah. Well done. Thank you. I bet that Coke tasted good, too. It does. That's delicious. Yeah, I do until that come off, and then it was really sore. So, first, minus a boat. Well done. I don't know. You've had an interesting day. Yeah, my sole came off from checkpoint 13 to 17. Right. So that was pretty painful. And then... So you were barefoot on the pig. Oh, yeah. The downhills were the worst, because I couldn't, like... Oh, you couldn't brake. Oh, it was so sore putting me on the brake. And then I saw Radford, and he'd blown his pipe out of the flange.
