Ya but on the other hand getting your whole team to be in the top 15 might score more points ....its A gamble but I think for the first round it's a balls up anyway we have no idea who is on pace and who might be sandbagging 

 

seagrave and gwin that didn't race last weekend definitely don't want people to know something 

 

...and no it's not because they need A week to recover ;)

 

I think they just used it as practice, but also didn't want to push too hard or get injured before the DH season starts. Also nice for the other riders to get qualifying points?

one thing Tahnee didn't lack was physical strength. If anything, the last few races last year showed she has a brittle temperament that spilt over into pithey. World champs was it, where she was tjankerig and bitter. Wasn't a good look, and i lost alot of respect for her. I expect Rachel to crush her again, and this time, I hope she carries herself in a more dignified manner. then she's a champ, win or lose.

Crush you say?

hehe there's always one to jump the gun. Long season ahead squire. keep watching ;)

 

hart back in the mix in a big way. Loic looking absolutely lethal with his totally undramatic, smooth style of riding. Troy too. Other young guns firing massive warning shots. What a fantastic start to the season.

 

Gwin.  ^_^

 Mr Minnaar losing his shine? the older guys seem somewhat slow out of the blocks. Hopefully the get back up to speed sooner.

At least Mr Minn crashed out of doing the race, Gwin just faded out :P

Gwin came seventh at WC event and everyone just takes A sh#t on his head cause you think he's lost his touch? Looooool where are our local riders at? Or the other "huge" names?

 

Barely infornt of Gwin or miles behind

 

 

He'll be back soon and hopefully minaar too

I reckon we are witnessing a changing of the guard here, with a groundswell of strong young talent coming through, and yet the old hands bring a lot of wisdom and experience to the table. Never underestimate an old fox.

Exciting times.

Easy there chaps. Gwinn came 7th on A new bike. Greg didn't even compete and gee was also on a new bike. Each of those will podium this year and there will be more than one win by them

They had the off season to prepare, but they are probably still adjusting. Gwin took a while to get back to speed when he switched to Specialized. I still think he's do better on 27.5
