Vallnord, 3 – 4 September 2016 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup Round 7

[Stretch]

Feels like an eternity ago...but it's World Cup DH time again this weekend

 

My money is on Sam Hill....oh wait....

 

there is very little between Danny hart and Aaron Gwinn...I am all for a Hart threesome..

Gwinn has never podiumed here before...but neither has hart..and last year it was Loic's World Championship run....Rachel has dominated...here is pinkbike's Paul Aston's prediction

It would be great if Danny could pull another rabbit out the hat! 

DAAAYM DANIEL! 

[Odinson]

So stoked!

 

My predictions:

 

Elite Men:

1. Gwin
2. Hart
3. Thirion (I'm holding out for a miracle here - Andorra is Commencal's home turf, so I'm hoping he's had enough practice on the circuit to make the leap to the top 3 steps)

Elite Women:

 

1. Atherton (ugh)
2. Seagrave
3. Carpenter (wildcard, but who knows)

I so desperately want Tahnee to get that 'breakthrough' win

Me too, but Rachel is so dominant. I also want Seagrave to earn the win by beating Rachel outright and not because Rachel had a mechanical or something.

On the XCO front, going to be interesting to see what happens, post-Olympics.

Does anyone know the screening times (both DH and XCO) on DSTV if any?

Really thought she would at Lenzerheide. Especially after beaten Rachel's time in qualifiers. 

1st wins are always elusive though. Its like the stars have to line up before they happen.

Would love to see her move from threat to adversary.

I'll let her have the perfect season, but then this **** has to stop.

I agree. If for nothing else than to take the pressure off Gee at the family dinner table.
