If I'm this dissapointed I cannot even imagine how dissapointed the riders must be. Valiant effort by Greg at least. Some points if I'm not mistaken?

Some observations:

 

1. Pity it rained, but at the same time it has made the season more interesting

2. The 29er factor remains an unknown - didnt seem to help the pole sitters in the wet and the quali times were very close

3. Greg probably won the top ten battle - he must have been the fastest of the last ten.

4. Strange to see Hart sliding around like a Gwin - the section near the bottom he fell off on was ridden easily by the riders after him

5. Gwin needs to start training in the UK

6. The women seemed fast this year - are their times closer to the men's than last year

7. Tanhee needs to stick a run together

8. Manon seems to have lost something since her WC overall win.

Very entertaining.

Can Rachel stop bitching about the "pressure"? Maybe they should interrview these peeps less...

The only pressure Rachel is feeling is from herself. No one else is on her level. Tracey and Tahnee seem closest imho.

 

I think the racing would be more interesting if Rachel would bugger off and go do the EWS. And if we are lucky she'd have her arrogance stuffed out of her.

was just about to ask: now that the world cup season has started, does anyone remember what an EWS is? ^_^

Funny thing. On most of my Morzine trips I've spotted Tahnee Seagrave. She used to live there in the summer. And I was always amazed that she seemed happy to show boat on the main lines under the lifts rather than ride the super steep gnarly stuff that Eddie Masters etc were riding.

 

Bike parks are fun but whips don't win world cups.

Interesting indeed
