"Aaron said at the finish line – "I really don't understand what happened. I warmed up as usual, tested the brakes as usual at the top, walked down the course to have a look at how the track was running, went into my run, brakes working fine for the first minute or so, and then bang, nothing. I crashed and got up as soon as I could, pumped to see what was there, but it wasn't enough, and knew my day was run".
The brakes have been taken back to Japan for further analysis as there was nothing immediately evident from the post-race inspection, and nothing new was done to these brakes that Aaron and the team has run for most of the season." -- kam grad noch per Mail vom Management. "Bang, nothing"
An beiden Bremsen :eek:
Das wäre heftig ... und irgendwie kaum vorstellbar. Er hat ja während des Laufs auch nach unten Richtung Tretlager geschaut ...
mittlerweile gibt es die offizielle Mitteilung, dass er an beiden Bremsen gleichzeitig einen Defekt gehabt haben soll. Das Kettenproblem sind nur die ersten Gedanken von Rob Warner gewesen...
"Unfortunately Gwin with a mechanical at the top, and Minnaar takes it! *According to Mick Hannah via Twitter, Gwin had a problem with his brakes at the top of the course"
und es sind auch schon öfter die worte "Brake trouble" gefallen
