Orbit Posted May 31, 2014 Share So its round number 4 this weekend in Germany. No saffas sprinting it out in the eliminator, I guess they all saving their legs for the XC. Plenty of our guys lining up this weekend. Junior women: Bianca Haw (4th on the startline)Junior men: Sybrand Strauss, Marco Joubert, Matthew Lombardi and Louw Kriel.U23 Women:Candice NeethlingU23 Men: William Mokgopo, James Reid, Travis Walker, Tim Wilkins and Dylan Rebello.Elite Women: Mariske Strauss and Cherie ValeElite men: Philip Buys and Rourke Croeser. Let me know if there's anyone I've missed out! My picks for the weekend are Prevot in the women after that dominating performance last week. The men its going to be tight between Absalon who loves this course and Nino who looks to be finding some form. As always live on Sunday on SuperSport or www.redbull.tv if you don't like the MTN adverts. Edited May 31, 2014 by Orbit Cav' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capricorn Posted May 31, 2014 Share y'all must check out some of the bikes. yeeeee awwwwwwww! especially Lisi Osl's bike. The pursuit of lightness has descended another level into nuttiness. Take this seatpost clamp hahhaha http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb11012060/p5pb11012060.jpg http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb11012064/p5pb11012064.jpg Edited May 31, 2014 by Capricorn Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orbit Posted May 31, 2014 Share That 3rd discipline is a big problem it seems. I preferred 4x personally. I mean how much of this do you see in XCE? I think Albstadt have got it right with pumptrack, night races etc in the leadup. We dont need more pro events but need something to attract spectators imo. Spoke101 and Sidewinder. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen Posted May 31, 2014 Share Why are people saying Nino is finding form, during laat weeks race the one commentator kept on saying that and Bart had to keep om pointing out the obvious. he got a flat in PMB and he didn't ride in Aus as he was doing a road race.

RocknRolla Posted May 31, 2014 Share If I see another MTN add about coffee bean I will loose it......... Recording it means i can ff through the ads. On site at the moment with not enough data to stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orbit Posted May 31, 2014 Share Do MTN sponsor the broadcasting rights?Personally I don't mind the adds. I'd rather have awesome sport on tv and watch the adds than miss out on the sport because of no sponsors or something stupid like that.

johanpre44 Posted May 31, 2014 Share I saw a tweet that said XCE would no longer be part of the world cups from 2015 so Phil and co focussing on XC That sucks, I quite like watching the XCE. But then again, nothing wrong with the XCO, especially since the tracks are much more technical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nino's a threat for sure. As is Kulhavy imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmonooit Posted June 1, 2014 Share He's also a two-time world champion and he did well enough in the road race if memory serves. Nino's a threat for sure. As is Kulhavy imho. What's amazing about Nino is how he can sustain his full-gas pace in the front. Watch this space. Kulhavy blows hot and cold, but Julian is contender, normally saves his move to the front until later. With the ladies, it all seems mixed up, podiums change completely from one race to another, but hell yea, Go Emily! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
