"It was no battle here against a skinsuit on this course," she said. "With the top so open and windy, you can make four or five seconds easy. There's lots of issues with using them, I think; if Tracy wants to use one, that's her game, but I don't agree with them at all."

I give the down hill pro circuit 2 years until they are all wearing skin suits.... And if they ever get olympic status it will become stndard.


Baggies are so last year... Get your mad skin suit now... lol

now way, Peaty whupped that dull, characterless boring-as-hell-to-listen-to-but-deadly fast-on-a-bike Aussie good over in Ft Billy this weekend, 3rd for Peaty, 5th for Hill, delighted to see him lose by so much.....

Wow - zombie thread!
FWIW, the UCI went on to ban skinsuits for downhill racing, proving once and for all that it's purely image-driven. If they were so concerned about safety, they would have specified motorbike leathers, no?
