    2014 team rumour and speculation!

    For the record. Every top rider. Smith, Gee, Minnaar, Hill, Blenki ALL complained about RSA and Leogang tracks. Regardless if they do well there or not, so dont give Brendan such a hard time just because he doesn't do as well as the others there. IXS has Pila, Maribor, Schladming and Val Di...

    Is everyone else as stoked for this WC season as I am?

    FYI there are 6 DH rounds this season. Plus World Champs. Im def for a minimum of 7/8 rounds and a maximum of 10. Can be done with a proper scheduling plan where it wouldn't exponentially add to the expenditure for teams, tech and individuals.

    DH'ers AM/Trail/Enduro tire

    The combo with the most top level enduro wins (multiple mega, Mt Hell, Super Enduro, French Enduro Series, Trans Provence, CWX, Enduro Nations) is 2.4 Ardent Front and 2.35 Larsen TT DH rear. Both run tubeless. As run by Jerome, Remy and a couple of other top riders with "other" tire sponsors...

    Relative void in high end clipless pedals (for gravity riding)

    You would be wrong on that. None of them are getting paid to run them. IN fact there are a few top three riders who are paid very well to run Shimano yet they don't.

    St Anne 2011!

    ft bill had nothing to do with tires. Big impact broke some spokes and de-tensioned another 10 or so. MSA as i stated above was a tire slice. As far as speculation i failed to mention that after running out of Stans they used Yop here in Canada. They should of gone with strawberry flavor instead...

    Sorry i meant in regards to how gee flatted and what he ran. Feel free to speculate about everything else under the sun.

    St Anne 2011!

    In regards to Gees tire and wheel. What happened at Ft William and here was unrelated. yesterday his tire did not burp. It was sliced, a big gouge that would have caused a flat with or without a tube on any tire. Through the sidewall of his contis that have plenty of extra protection there...

    Whats missing in this photo..

    It came off in air. Still on shoe which later fell off in the crash. Next two riders were red flagged. Hence their re-run. I believe moments after this was taken and she got going again She was knocked off her bike into a ditch when she was passed by Pugin. Rough weekend for her all round.

    Glad to see not everyone leaps to conclusions. As you mentioned, her earlier crash damaged her cranks and pedal stripped out.

    WC Round 1: Pietermaritzburg, SA

    Sorry i haven't used the search function but who is it that usually posts the in-depth split time analysis up here on rm? Ranking each rider at each split VS the way the UCI timing ranks it by accumulative time?

    WC Round 1: Pietermaritzburg, SA

    0.03 or somewhere in that region. On another note, although it has been pretty fashionable to hate on the track, especially on the internet and in interviews. I have been somewhat guilty of this myself. Most of the riders like and are enjoying the track, they are just dreading their upcoming...

    New Maxxis tire

    Gee won on contis at ft bill...and Conti have the new Ramstein that they have been running for a few months testing compounds and sidewalls. Im sure you will see them on Contis all year now.

    It was not a chainguide or pedal problem.

    Vouilloz's - Expanded 2011 Schedule?

    Sorry, but Nico will not be racing world cups. He will be at some but wont be racing. This is not to say he would not be able to still podium at one, especially Labresse style, but he wont be racing. Sad but true.
