Yeah I thought I was being a bit sensitive. However, with RA's past antics in the skin suit era I'm not convinced she is such a great loser.

 

Anyways. She shreds.

So awesome this track. It really shows just how fast the riders at the top level are and what utter plebs the rest of us are.

There is a BIG battle brewing on the fast approaching horizon ... and its between Greg, Mick, Gee and Gwin.

 

All aiming to peak at Worlds. 3 of the 4 seem to have been trying not to end themselves (well not Gee - hes had a good couple of diggers lately) and are holding back a bit it.

Stevie had a superb run ... it looks like Gee was slow in the last split as everyone of the last 10 or so made time on him there.

 

But with 2 to go ... I think the overall is running away a bit ... Stevie is still in with a shout ... but it looks like a longshot for the rest.

I watched an interview with greg where he said he was focussing on Worlds. That said...he is currently 3rd in the world cup and in almost all the world cup events that have been the top 2,3,4,5 and sometimes 1 have been separated by milliseconds..so a 5th could quite easily have been a 1st or 2nd. I think he is looking pretty fluid...and remember cascades fits him like a glove

Greg is proof that consistency rather than speed at all costs is the way to do it - compare him to Danny "the hobbit" Hart for example.... Smith seems to have speed and consistency and BMT all in one.

after watching that behind the scenes clip of Danny's dad freaking out in the pits while Danny rips it up, the first thought in my head was: his dad needs to go.

If that boy is half as worked up on the bike as his dad is in the pits, then I dont see big things from him on a consistent basis. Compared to worlds, he seemed to be in his own world enjoying the ride, as witnessed by teh whips, and he whipped the world in the process. Driven is not such a bad thing, but if you get that worked up.. oi. i dunno hey.

I saw the board was red on the final jump and said to myself 'Mother F-k!', crossed the finish line and looked back and it was green and said to myself 'Awesome!'- Stevie Smith, Devinci Global Racing

hill was just about fastest at the bottom split. loving how that guy is finding is groove. Needs to get on the gas proper sooner though. He did the same thing in Andorra. killer last split, but lost time in the first two.
