2017 UCI MTB World Cup XCO


LONE TWO

Recommended Posts

Wonder if he will crossover to DH once he has won everything xco and xcm.... would be interesting to see how he would do

Would probably beat everyone except Minnaar. So once Greg retires he can do DH and be king there.

 

EDIT: spelling

I'd be very surprised if he'd even qualify for finals.

a. troy/greg/gwinn/danny on same sections

b. nino on the dh course

Cool, so now that you've proven that Nino is better at XCO racing than Marc Beaumont, where's the video of him going down the DH track?

I disagree

 

Danny MCaskill is way more technically capable than nino and even he said that there is no ways in hell he would even try compete against those guys. 

 

Maybe after a season  or two of prepping..but not immediately.

Danny Macaskil is a trick rider, yes very very technical and much better at making videos about riding down a trail than Nino,

I reckon Marc did farkin well an oke on a borrowed hardtail with 1 practice lap! Nino was on a custom made duallie and has ridden at least 400,000 laps of that track.

 

The difference in speed entering the downhills was insane.

 

Ultimately though this little test is a show piece and in no way answers the "can Nino do well at DH" qiestion.
