That course does look more like a streached xco course.. Pitty as the Brits have good trails but to far from the "village I guess" Burry mentioned he handled the heat better than the rest in Windham where he won his last Cup race. So Im Praying for a scourcher!!

Lived in the UK about 30 miles west of London. The local forest was shortlisted for the MTB venue. It would have been awesome... really dont know why they didnt have it there. Brilliant singletrack trails through the forest... lots of great climbs and drops, bridges etc. Pity.

My heart is for Burry. Its going to be a tough as k as the course is very very fast and not very technical. I would also love for Buys to come top 10.

Almost time! Nino has a super fast start and technically is the best on the circuit. Technically i rate Burry probably 2nd best. If Burry can stick with Nino for the 1st couple of laps he has a great chance. Absalon is a dark horse. The French flair might just come through today. Reckon its going to be a cracker. Really hope Burry pulls it off! SA really has some BMT sportsman at the top level now. a Nice change!

I'm behind Burry all the way, but it does seem hit & miss sometimes for him. Or is it all just down to bad luck?

 

Immigrate?

to come to a country of which one is not a native, usually for permanent residence.

Absolon on 26" non?

 

 

And lets not forget the Lefties in the mix: Manuel Fumic and Marco Fontana:
