Who's your prediction for the WIN?

 

As i see it so far here's how things are panning out with the riders too....

 

Trail bikes!

 

Scott 11:

Brendan (i-hate-pedalling) Fairclough - Scott Genius 180mm 650b

Maybe some others?

 

Chain reaction cycles Nukeproof:

Sam Hill - Custom Nukeproof Mega - 170mm 650b

Joe Smith - Custom Nukeproof Mega - 170mm 650b

 

Devinci Global Racing:

Nick Beer - Prototype Devinci 170mm 650b

 

Specialized

Aaron Gwin - Specialized Enduro - 150mm 29er

Mitch Ropelato - Specialized Enduro - 150mm 29er

 

.....

 

Does anyone know of anyone else???

I will be interested to see how they fair up this year ... as last year they all got thumped by 2x 26inch wheeled DH bikes!

 

hmmm... a couple of weeks ago I saw that new rock garden on the upper section...

 

I don't know if it was still under construction (you may have put more dirt between rocks since then), but from what I saw at the time, it looked more like a trials course than DH, haha! Nice one :thumbup:

Looking forward to seeing that, hope they've stationed a camera there. I know it's a bit of schadenfreude but I would love to see a big wheel buckle there.

No way Mr Hicks is going to play all his cards face up. I am pretty sure there are a few last minute "adjustments" that will be made this week....

 

Well that's what I would do anyway :devil:

I REALLY hope that there are a few DAFUQ moments as the trail brigade walk down wishing that they had brought their 26" rigs with...

 

Yeah, me too! Especially after all the criticism the track has had to endure of late..

You better believe they haven't only brought trail bikes and that their big rigs have made the trip over.

Lol maybe, but that Spaz rider - Gwins buddy - loves his niner so much maybe he's arrogant enough to have left it behind...

Going to be a bit difficult swinging your leg over your big machine after all the social media and internet talk of the trail friendly track in sleepy hollow that suits 29ers....

 

Can't wait to see what happens.
