Who's both excited and a bit 'meh' at the thought of Ft. Bill? 

 

It's always an exciting race, but I just love seeing the new (and new 'old' tracks) tracks.

I must say I enjoy any DH WC but I am pretty bored by this track. Those upper rocks are gnarly but the riders must know them so well by now. Time for them to build a new line there I think.

all playing out on Vital. Some hardcore gwin fans are keel hauling their idol.

It won't surprise me if there's even more spin from the gwin camp to come.

Throwing his mechanic under the bus nogal. From social media, it appears that his mech basically waits on him, hand and foot and then he has the gall to blame the guy.
