Sad to see that Hart won't be there to defend his title.

I Would love Greg to win again ...

 

So I would say ... in a perfect world

 

1st Greg

2nd Stevie Smith

3rd Gee

 

BUT

 

I have a hunch that it will be our friend Gwin who takes it ...

Also any one of these guys has a shot

 

Smith, MacDonald, Atherton, Hill, Mr Minn or Gwin

+1 on Greg.

 

Stevie has matured nicely, hasn't he? "Just a kid from Cassidy…"

And juniors... any predictions there?

 

I rode a bit with SA's best junior prospect (Tiaan Odendaal) while he was training for World's in Morzine. Man he's quick!

[nigelhicks]

id say tiaan can MAYBE get a medal (top 5 definitely)

 

But id say its Loic Bruni or Richie Rude for the top 2 places

Yeah, he is. And he's young as well! Lots of talent there.

Loic Bruni, Richie Rude, look out for brit Jono Jones. Dont think tiaan will be in the top 5 cant seem to put it together on the big stage Edited August 27, 2012 by Unclerico

Gotta put my money on Greg, longer track,a lot of jumps and pedaling in the middle section, top 3 greg gee gwin could be any order. I just hope the weather is perfect so we get to see a great race

[Nikolais]

Smith is on Fire!!!

[Guest Omega Man]

If I was gonna put money on it I'd say Bruni for the Juniors. Atherton for the ladies. Gwin for the men. And Tahnee Seagrave for the junior ladies. But that's only cos she's the only junior lady I know of.
