Did any of you enjoy the olympic mountainbike race as much as I did?
I have to give a very big compliment to our Dutch pride, Bart Brentjens: gold 8 years ago and the third place this time!
The only thing I don't like about race mountainbiking is the fact that mechanical problems have to be dealt with by the rider himself. Isn't that a bit oldfashioned, or is it that just my oppinion?
Greetings, Jeroen.

As much as I enjoy mountain biking watching it on tv can be a bit dull,but I have to say due to the excellent coverage of the track and the track itself I did throughly enjoy the race,our rider Liam Kleen was unfortunaly robbed of at least a silver due to the start line crash he got caught up in [smiley=worry.gif],to much time to make up another lap and it would of been a different story,thats racing though,

i enjoyed it but our overage was boring....they should have spent more time on Bart and the Spaniard..there were at least three changes of places there...At one stage the spaniard must have crashed,but he came back...personally I thought the mens tri was better.... ;D
