Buddies contour said mid 60's kmh.
That was 2 years ago. I'm pretty sure I was faster than that on the section earlier today.

My best memory of that section was being passed on the left side on the table top right at the top. I heard a guy coming up fast so I went right and he did a massive tail whip as he passed me while we were both in the air. He landed in front of me and manualed down the whole first section. I usually don't touch my brakes down that stretch and he still left me in the dust.

Mind you I was probably slowed down by my chin dragging on the ground.
