yep. Leogang is HIS track. He's simply on another level. Same as Greg at Fort William. 

There is a lot of talk about him saying landing the jumps perfectly is faster than pedaling at the top section.

 

Only speculation but just maybe ...

One has to wonder if a pattern of "one trick ponies" are emerging, no? Although Gwin had an almost clean sweep of WCs in `11 so not taking anything away from anyone.

mention also needs to be made of mich hannah who also put down a good run...not a winning run...but a really solid run. Had it not been for the flat that developed, I'm sure he would have been a few places higher...he seems to be in good mik nick at the moment

it is. The chainless run last year actually adds credence to it. But you also have to pump them properly

 

Mark Wallace was actually turning the top splits green after his chain broke, but was slowed down when the chain and derailleur started to jam up the wheel. It goes to show that if you can jump and pump the top section of the track there is no need to pedal. Casing those top jumps (or any jump for that matter) always robs you of momentum. 

 

Hannah was one of the riders that nailed those jumps.

Yeah, that was ..... I was like damn, why dont the other guys do that. It looked super quick at that part.
