I really liked their chances this year but their equipment choices are appalling.

Sad to say but thats it.No chance.Finito

 

They were using Maxxis Ikons on Easton EC90 wheels yesterday.

I imagine that they are using the same again today.

 

Lets see what the tweets and reports from them say later.

freezes the snot, and turns it into little balls

 

Thanks. Never thought of that !! So I suppose you need to re-slime after a bomb, or top up.

Ikons are rubbish - super light but puncture resistance is appalling. I ride one at the back and currently have 5 plugs in it :(

I feel for Dave and Kev

Looking at the rider positions it seems Burry and Christoph have a good gap on the next few riders.

If we could make our own luck Kevin and Dave would win each time they raced the Epic

 

They are that much better than the rest, are they? :huh:

Maybe/maybe not, but they work and train pretty damn hard

Mine either. I'm using that stuff that Rad sold here a while ago. I did have a tubby with it in explode in my garage on Saturday night. Boy did I have fun cleaning that mess up on Sunday.
