[Robbie Stewart]

I am not going to make any predictions, but I want to see Mr.Minn take the title. He is perfectly positioned to do it. 

 

Pompon for the ladies...

Greg on the big wheels and that track... You'd be brave to bet against him. I'm calling him for the win by 5 seconds.

[Odinson]

No picking Manon?

 

I honestly, honestly want to, but she's been getting slower as the season progresses. 

 

She is always the winner of my heart, though.

5 Seconds? No feckin' way. He has a a very, very real chance of taking the win, but if Gwin can get a clean run in, he'll take the win. Even though he may not be having the most consistent season thus far, Gwin is still the fastest rider on the circuit. 

[Hairy]

Looking at RedbullTV, they are saying 7pm for the ladies and 9pm for the men .. is that accurate or have I got something mixed up?

you are only as fast as your finishing time.....

It's probably detecting your location. Thus, that time in SA. 

[Odinson]

100% correct. You can't win if you don't finish. 

[Piston ZA]

As much as I hope I'm wrong, I don't see Greg winning this one. With his lead over Troy, he just needs a solid result (podium finish), and not going to take any risks going for the win.

 

It also looks like it may rain, and if so, I'm going for Hart for the win, Gwin 2nd, Loris 3rd

[Duane_Bosch]

100% correct. You can't win if you don't finish. 

M. You're probably right. Logic dictates he'll play it safe and ensure the overall. 

[Stretch]

the last two have been a mix between Daniel, Greg and Troy....they will all be up there along with Aaron, Loris and Jack

 

For the girls...rachel demolished the rest at the british nationals..she is back to her best - its gonna between Rachel, Tahnee, Myriam, Tracey.....Manon seems to be going backwards

[Stretch]

M. You're probably right. Logic dictates he'll play it safe and ensure the overall. 

 

you dont win Titles by playing it safe..you win titles by always trying to win races..the difference with greg and someone like Danny or Conor is he knows exactly where to push it to where he can still win without being out of control
