That's because he is better than everyone else. It's not smugness when you can back it up.To me he comes across as "I'm better then everyone else". I call that smug. I'm rooting for Peaty.

Uh, yes it is.That's because he is better than everyone else. It's not smugness when you can back it up.
Thanks FT!
Strangely enough, they only have as much hill to ride up as the DHers have to ride down. Not entirely unexpected.This just in - even the XC course sucks in Canberra. Absalon, among others, is NOT running a front derrailleur! 1 x 10.
Also from all accounts the XC course is GNARLY, my flatmate destroyed his big ring on the first day riding it, a few people are switching out the big ring for a bash, and the granny......well most xc racers don't use that anyway.Strangely enough, they only have as much hill to ride up as the DHers have to ride down. Not entirely unexpected.
True, but you can still usually build a gnarly Xc course on almost flat ground. It isn't AS dependant on pure vertical as Dh is.Strangely enough, they only have as much hill to ride up as the DHers have to ride down. Not entirely unexpected.
Wait'll you see some of the items appearing on bikes starting Monday...a few people are switching out the big ring for a bash, and the granny......

There's some pretty cool new stuff showing up this year. besides the usual "special" worlds colors and such, there is some actual NEW Product designed specifically for that track. It's going oto be sick. See you Thursday!I'm looking forward to seeing them, and seeing them in the flesh come thursday

Don't let the camera angle deceive you. We've ridden this track enough to know that shorter travel bikes won't handle the punishment through the rock garden. I've seen alot of short travel frames snap through the rock garden lately. Anything under a 8 inch is not going to be fun.maybe it's the camera angle, but i disagree with Rando regarding that man-made rock garden. I think a shorter travel "mini-dh" bike will do just fine on that section. That course walk really reminded me of a long 4X track.
Yeah cos Rando really doesn't know what he's talking about.......That's like watching brain surgery and telling the surgeon you don't think hes using the right type of scalpelmaybe it's the camera angle, but i disagree with Rando regarding that man-made rock garden.

thats only for the premixed drinks, thanks to our nanny government trying to curb binge drinking with an epic fail, which they have admitted to but wont remove the tax back to previous levels.It's cold and windy as heck here in Canberra. Course walk is today and then a week of practice starts, should be a good one. Also, booze is now incredibly expensive since the new tax...about $25 cnd for a 6 pack!!???
Knowing those Aussies - they probably put the tax up especially for the MTB booze circus that's just hit town and will drop it as soon as you leave!Also, booze is now incredibly expensive since the new tax...about $25 cnd for a 6 pack!!???
That's tomorrow actually.As an aside, today is the first day of spring here down under.
