Headshot Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Lets get this going with a fat bit of self promo by the Sweitzer's Any one know who is going to race in place of Stef Garlicki? https://www.pinkbike.com/news/world-championships-in-lenzerheide-demanding-tracks-gold-rush-and-rainbow-stripes.html
Duane_Bosch Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Any one know who is going to race in place of Stef Garlicki? It should be Duuuuuuuuuuraaaaannn. The peoples champ. And he's there. And he's up to speed on Euro tracks. If not Mexico should let him race for them.
Stretch Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 It's gonna be weird not having gee there. Probably a 70% chance of a Frenchie winning it in the men's and 90% chance of a Brit in the women's Would love to see Mick Hannah getting it. Track suits him and he deserves a world champs more than peaty did. His le bress result was certainly a good sign... But maas has certainly put his hand up now. Greg's always in contention .. And we all know how good Gwinn is on this track (but please no! [emoji16]) I world say tahnee deserves this in the women's.. But no one is gonna give it to her
NicoBoshoff Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 La Bresse was tailor made for Maes. Everyone needs to calm down about him - amazing result, but the track was basically an EWS stage. He won't top 10 at Worlds. Podium will be Minnaar, Bruni and Gwinn.

It will be interesting to see how Maes gels with the World's track.
Super_mil Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Any one know who is going to race in place of Stef Garlicki? I reckon it should be Christopher Philogene. He finished 2nd overall in this weekends IXS Cup and also finished 2nd in on of the UK races (behind Adam Brayton) so he is up to speed.

No Theo loving?A few years ago when I first met Theo, I had truly hoped that this cool calm, superbly capable youngster was going to take over the mantle from Mr Minn. He just seemed like such a natural. Other than Mr Minn and Stef (if he qualifies) Theo's recent world cup run is the best by a South African in a very, very long time.

Mr Huck-it definitely deserves to be steezing it up at the World Champs
Duane_Bosch Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Theo will race world's as he is the current SA Champion. Repping the sleeve.

He won't top 10 at Worlds. Podium will be Minnaar, Bruni and Gwinn.He has the skill and definitely the fitness , so bar some Dh mojo I can't see why He won't place quite high
Headshot Posted September 5, 2018 Author Posted September 5, 2018 Curve ball - I don't see Red Bull advertising the worlds to the SA audience. Have you guys? I suspect the UCI has sold the event to DSTV and RBTV is only showing where there have not been any other deals.

Not sure if they sole, or co-hosting the stream, but they are. Details on Vitalmtb or PB.
Headshot Posted September 5, 2018 Author Posted September 5, 2018 I see on the website it is listed but wasn't on my phone app when I checked this morning....
