The section between the trees really puts into perspective how fast he is going. 

That Atherton bike is nice and silent!

Dunno about that. I would argue Minaar’s achievements outshine Nino’s. Nino is great, but he still hasn’t matched Absalon’s win record. Greg on the other hand still holds the most wins, most podiums, and over a much longer period of time beating the best of the best in the last 4 or 5 generations of riders. And based on last year’s results he is not slowing down any time soon. Nino may still equal and overtake Absalon’s record this year, but I don’t think he will ever be as dominant as Greg.

 

Hard to compare apples with pears though...

XC to XC Absalon still beats Nino on pure stats 

 

MTB in General Rachel will Be the Greatest Mountainbiker to ever live for a longggg time 

[MrJacques]

Think it was meant for the last 10 years, not overall.

[BaGearA]

Even then I think Rachel should be considered

As has been mentioned.. It was the last decade..2010 to 2020. No one dominated in that period more than nino. Closest was Rachel.. But even there were had Manon, pompon, Tracey etc stealing her thunder temporarily.
