DH is going through a golden period isnt it. The coverage is better than ever with the Raw vids, Cathro and Eliot Jackson ( love his positive vibe and laughter). Also love how seriously these guys take their race training and practicing. Line choice and such like while on the other hand being so chilled and a bunch of jokers around each other. Its the same in the #hardenduro moto world. Just wonder why this vibe doesn't pemeate the marathon and XC MTB world.

 

It must be all that lycra

Because dudes still race in denim!

Only if they are Italian .... now if a Frenchie had been wearing denim on the day, all the DH riders would be wanting to get in on that fashion evolution for the next race :P

Any updates on Stephan Garliki? PB had him having a major off and being airlifted off the mountain?

Healing vibes to him. Dude must have the worst luck.

Stef has crazy bad mojo when it comes to injuries.I think last year was the least of it, until it wasn't. Prior to that, the breakdowns just seems to come in waves for the chap. Now this.

Hard not to feel despondent i'd imagine: i personally hate being benched due to injury. Can't imagine how someone in the prime of their sporting career has to sit by and wait. All part of it I guess, but not the best part.

Man, the 2019 season has been an absolute belter thus far! Such sick racing. 

 

Sunday's Men's race was tighter than a really tight thing. Didn't expect Minaar to turn it up in his race run, but he killed it. 

 

I should really follow my own predictions if I want to score better in the fantasy league. Figured Hannah and one of the Frenchies would take it, but then didn't pick any of them, rather focusing on a spread of more consistent riders.  :thumbdown:

 

Hoffman is absolutely killing it! 2nd as a privateer. I see she's been hanging around in the Syndicate pits, so perhaps Santa Cruz/Juliana can offer her a factory ride, despite The Syndicate being a notorious old boys club. 

 

Can't wait for the next rounds!

The Syndicate could certainly do with a kick ass lady .... and Nina or Vali would do well .... but recon Nina would fit the bill better!

So here is my prediction for the new season as I rub my crystal ball (No single Armstrong testicle jokes please) ............ I recon that Gwin will be ditching Intense for another brand, in a media storm of note.
