For throwing at the Gwinner?

 

Gonna be an interesting race weekend. DHI and XCO. Also a prelude to next year's World Champs. Am hoping for a high placing for Sik Mik Hannah whose the local racer along with his sis Tracey - she's likely to get a top five finish being one of the top girls.

My predictions are:

 

Men:

1) Bruni

2) Gwin

3) Smith/Rat/Gee

 

Ladies: a British top three with Rachel taking the win with Tahnee and Manon racing for second. Expecting Tahnee to remain on her level but also expecting that Manon will bring her A game and it's gonna be tight race between the besties.

Is it just me or does that course not suit Mr Min, it looks very pedally?

He is one of the guys that can actually pedal.

Never been a fan of this course but looking forward to the race. Loic fastest in timed training with the usual suspects just after him GM languishing down near the bottom as he often is in training. He'd better step it up or my Dirt League team is toast...
