Stretch Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 From the Pizza and pasta at the final World Cup event to the land of tax free shopping, Cedric Gracia and the Pyrenees mountains in the principality of Andorra...its 2015 World Champs.... who is it gonna be...gwinn? Troy? Loic? Greg? Josh?...or a dark horse from outside the in form riders this year PSYCHED!
DanielJhb Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Can't wait! Interested to see a course preview before making any predictions. Hard to see anyone beating gwin on current form. Hope greg or bruni take it.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I think Hill has an outside chance. Showing specks of his early speed, a strong recovery and not throwing it all in the runs up till now with no hope of a podium on the general standings... But that's just me. I want Hill to take it, but also Greg. And Loic - that would be epic. Ratboy... I reckon the course would suit Hill down to the ground. Yet, again, Gwin. He's shown everyone that he's always a threat. It's gonna be a good one, that's for sure.
KingTJ Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I'm going with Greg the Master....If Rossi can do it in the Rain then Greg can do it at the champs!! ... I just have a feeling..
Super_mil Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 And the forecast is for rain this weekend... Things could get very interesting.
nigelhicks Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 on that track ... .its whoever can have a clean, but fast run ...So easy to make a mistake .... Id say Loic has a good chance, but if I had to put money on it I would say Gwin. If it rains, like its forcast too ... then its whoever gets down in one piece

Lurch the stalker Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I reckon in Gwin's form he will probably take it. On the woman's side, I think Rachel will take it, though I'd like to see Manon retain it.
jimmy hardtail Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 My heart says Greg but my head says Gwin...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 IS supersport airing this??Yes. Normally SS6. Should be round 2h30 or so.
remfactor Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 What about Remi? He won the WC round there last year after all......Not sure if he is 100% though
rouxtjie Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Bruni to get the jersey(karma owes him)Greg to podiumBrosnan to podium Gwin to see his koek.... Agree with cap below...
Capricorn Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I'd have to say Troy and then gwin. Troy's shown sam hill levels of commitment. Sam Hill... i'd love for him to take it, but I have a feeling they've downplayed the actual injury. Won't surprise me if Hill undergoes surgery again immediately after worlds. I think he couldn't have that surgery after injurying it because recovery would have meant missing the rest of the world cups and worlds. I think he thinks he has enough in the shoulder to handle a one run win attempt. But this is dicey stuff. He still has to handle practice sessions, and a full pace lap or two might undo what stability is left in the shoulder, and ruin worlds for him. But that's the risk and he knows it.Or so I believe. Hill as the sentimental favorite, Troy as the form favorite.
popcorn_skollie Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Bruni to get the jersey(karma owes him)Greg to podiumGwin to see his koek....Mr Min is no stranger to champs podiums and my support for him goes without saying.But I just wish Loic could grab the top step for once and get it over with. Its starting to get to me. Loic ftw
Lurch the stalker Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 But I just wish Loic could grab the top step for once and get it over with. Its starting to get to me. It's starting to get to everybody, even his competitors, just look at how Gwin was with him when he snatched the victory out from under him...
