Roc d’Azur – Report 1 October 8th, 2009
Guy Bowden from Flow MTB reports…
First morning at the Roc – this place is huge! Several enduro events going on this weekend, along with some marathon racing, a UCI BMX supercross round, big dirt jumps, slopestyle, etc etc. Not sure how I’m going to fit it all in.
Oh and the sun’s not really out yet, but it’s flippin’ ‘ot ‘ere.
Nice graphics from Merida on the Hardy 3.
And again closer up.
The ace looking Sunn Tzar - 140mm hardtail with a Hammershmidt.
Top(tube) advice on the Tzar - no idea what it means.
UK representing - Hope and Empire.
Dinky shock with dinky mud guard.
Erm... they also make shopping bikes...
Some loveliness from Skyde.
Some random handlebars from Skyde.
And more.
Old school sidewalls meet XX.
Are we in London..?
Note the queue to pretend to be Peaty... anyone? It'd be different if Fabien had won.

They’re not old school sidewalls on that Scott, they’re Dugast tubs! Probably about £300s worth of them too!
The mudgaurd on that dinky shock is utterly pointess…
The Dugasts are even more expensive if it’s the World Champs bike – they’re team-issue tubulars and there was $400 of silk alone in each tub!
blimey! I was just thinking cotton…
I can confirm that those ‘old school’ tyres are on the world champs bike…. expensive.
“The mudgaurd on that dinky shock is utterly pointess…”
true true. Many might say that the dinky shock is also utterly pointless.. what’s wrong with a 2.5 minion on the back
speaking of which, my Ragley with it’s dual ply 2.5 tyres is looking like slightly too much bike down here.. most riders around are sporting what can only be described as slightly fat, slightly knobly road tyres… and way too much lycra… and not enough stands showing them that they should really do the decent thing and wear baggies…
Well said that man. Same goes for 650b.
