They said Finn had a neck injury - I have my doubts they will let him race after a bash like that. imagine if he crashes again...

Maybe not .... 

 

There is sneeky talk he may hang up the gloves after Sunday with the Syndicate disbanding altogether ... see his instagram ...

I think that's a stupid silly assumption on the part of that IG comment - final addition is most likely ito his World Champs kit. Not his final ride. 

 

On the last Syndicate tv episode he clearly alluded to the Syndicate family expanding.

Agreed - Tahnee is cool, would be rad to see her just step up. She's had poor luck this year, and I guess it compounds in your head to making you think you can't do what you need to do. Mark and I were watching the race at Andorra on TV and we both can't figure out why the girls can't go as fast as the guys (I mean like the top girls - like Top 5, aren't as fast as the Top 5 guys - by at least 30 - 40 seconds usually). Because it's not the jumps holding them back as they do all the crazy **** these days. My only comprehension is that girls have some strange preservation gene (even the most talented women who do bat **** crazy sports) don't push it to the edge that the guys push it (except Ragot - she was mental - knew no boundaries really) AND more logically, that perhaps their body strength is different to guys and the force at which they throw the bike around and control it is not as easy for a woman?? (which I sort of doubt). I just don't get it. I can understand it in muscle related sports like running etc - but on an assisted sport like mountain biking - and on super steep tracks where it's not pedalling that gives the advantage - I puzzle about this.

 

yeah - she is super talented...I just dont like her ego of late...I dont quite know what has happened - but she used to be super chill a few seasons back and ever since she lost the title to manon in 2014 he whole persona has changed...if she gets the perfect season WITH a world champs win i think her head might explode... I really want Tahnee to win at worlds ..not justto beat rachel..but because I think she really needs something to take out of this season where she has had some real bad luck despite knocking on rachel's proverbial front door..i think its gonna be interesting
