JCV et Martin….oui, ils ont osé…comparer, quasi sérieusement, les temps au tour de 2007 et d’aujourd’hui…
La piste était sensé être une parfaite copie de 2007… Sauf qu’en 2021 les obstacles sont moins raide…

You raced Orlando in 2007, lots of talk about this track using the same layout. Do you remember the ’07 track and race and how did this one compare?
.
It was the same layout, and that was a cool throwback aspect. In practice, though, it really wasn’t that similar. The jumps were built differently for the 2021 edition. In 2007, the jumps were fairly flat and allowed everyone to carry a lot more speed around the racetrack. The 2021 jumps were much steeper, slowing speeds and forcing riders to ride more cautiously. Comparing the two on video, the speeds were much higher 14 years ago and the penalty for a mistake much less severe. RC and JS7 were blitzing through sections without much worry while the 2021 track was much more treacherous.
.
Race winner Cooper Webb averaged a 50.9 lap time on Saturday. The 2007 winner, James Stewart, averaged 49.6. Does this mean anything?
.
In terms of a “who’s better?” analysis, I don’t think it means anything. I know that’s not the answer everyone wants to hear because we live in a comparison society but the tracks were far too different to view as apples to apples.
