It's definitely gonna be a tough one to defend the jersey here. I haven't had the greatest World Cup season, but it is a whole different race and another chance to have a good result. We had a good track walk just now and checked it all out and I think it should be good. It's nice and dry which obviously helps me out; it's always been wet and muddy here before and I didn't have the best races. I want to win another Worlds of course and you always wanna win races, but it's no pressure for me to win another. I won the one that I wanted to win and also the amount I wanted to win, so now I do see it as looking for a bonus - Greg Minnaar - Santa Cruz Syndicate

What did okes think of the Eliminator last night???

 

IMO it was a little boring - whoever got out of the first woods in front won pretty much ... (except for the Mens Finals!) ... That was proper action ... hahaha That last move in the last corner was proper karma as that Frenchie had been taking okes out in almost every heat.

Although - he was bloody strong and sort of deserved the win

Glad the frenchie got what he deserved. He had his fair share of bringing okes down! Albeit strong - not cool! He didn't look that bummed though at losing.
