Mackie Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 (edited) Based on current form you must say Tracey Mosely and Greg for the win. If it's wet and muddy Greg will be extremely hard to beat, he is a master of wet conditions, but he needs to watch the young ankle biters who are proving to be great future prospects, the new commers and lighties have far less to lose than Greg so they will surely be a force. Besides Peat, Hill and Hannah will make good sooner or later.Go Greg! Edited June 10, 2011 by Mackie
traaidmark Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I really hope Gee pulls through for a win this round. Would be awesome if he catches up to Greg again on points, and another nailbiting finals!

Guest Omega Man Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I'm thinking Jill Kitner for the women. The fact that she's a cutie has nothing to do with my prediction.

Nikolais Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 If it is wet I feel that Hill will improve on his placings in the last few races.Greg does kill it in the wet too - so we will have to see. As far as the Ladies go, I agree with Nige and think that Rachel has a good chance - she has been looking strong and her training in the UK climate may well pay off if it is wet.
Capricorn Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 (edited) Mens:1. Hill (but the boy is off the boil completely. something's up..2. Gee3. Hart4. Greg Minnaar5. Blenki Womens:1. Rachel2. Emmeline3. T-Mo4. Myriam Nicole5. SackOfPotatoes I see my list pretty much lines up with Nige's. This track is pretty technical, so I'd easily rate Rachel to take it. Emmeline is pretty much fearless, hence 2nd on the list. Myriam Nicole is a bit of a dark horse as she is very clearly improving. And Since she rides with the boys like Rachel, I'd say she should take it ahead of T-Mo, but T-Mo is on a buzz, and super fit. Nikolai: it seems the athertons make a point of leaving ever_wintery UK behind during the off season, and rather hit up california, or more recently, New Zealand. Seems Gee's trip there for his session with Stevie Smith was really worthwhile, and pegged it as their next training ground. Edited June 10, 2011 by Jarek Wysocki
Nikolais Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Fair point Jarek, I dont blame them for leaving UK during winter - I have been there over that period and it is balls...

Tumbleweed Posted June 13, 2011 Author Posted June 13, 2011 Gwin is just not normal. Guess the training with Tomac is paying off! Glad to see Rachel preforming again!
