Ladies challengers should really remain the same, I think. Can't see a winner who isn't named Rachel, Manon, Tahnee, Tracey or Myriam (even though she's currently injured).

There I fixed it for you.

 

I reckon barring injury it will be a 3 brit shutout of the box in the ladies.

Agreed, I think everyone else is racing for fourth. The fight between the Brits should hopefully be a bit closer but Rachel's class should see her take it.

Manon took first place in the first race of the British series this last weekend, so hopefully that bodes well for her, but Rachel is one hell of a force to reckon with so I reckon she'll take it.

tahnee came second...I am not putting her in for a title...but I reckon she will get her first win this year

yip, I know....care rocks though. Was a fan, not so much anymore.

 

Saw this on twitter...made me think

Like I said, was a big fan...that post just made me think, thats all. Given that he is SA's most successful / talented mtb'er, hell maybe even pro cyclist it kinda sends the wrong message imo

Now that would be nice! Last year the early rounds were good for her and then she kinda started having a bit of bad luck. Hoping for a more consistent season for her and yes that defo's includes a win.

 

All that said I hope the Brits are all off color in Cairns and my lady Tracey bags a home win. That'd be nice too!

Isn't that Brandon Stewart he's with in the picture? Afaik that's his brother in law. Can't exactly not not be nice to him but he doesn't have to like his doping. But such is the cost of doping that it does make you think doesn't it especially about what exactly GM stands for. Like Stretch I tend to give GM the benefit of doubt given his integrity.
