After a 2 day drive, we are finally in Slovenia. It was an interesting drive to say the least. Downtown Maribor is wicked. Photos tomorrow AM.
World Cup Finals - Maribor Slovenia
- Thread starter Transcend
- Start date
Sounds great - can't wait for more racing info after the great coverage from the worlds. Between family visiting from Europe, business expansion and crashing this helps compensate for lack of riding.
dropped Dave off at the airport at 3:30. barring delays and lost luggage he should be rolling into Maribor some time tomorrow afternoon. . . . he and 230 other pro men
here are a few vids. of the course:
Interesting to see who else got injured at Ft. Bill but so far Minnaar, Gracia, and Vouilloz(scaphoid) are all sitting this one out. so much for the alien's much anticipated return to Maribor.

Van dine with an injured wrist as well. everyone is nursing injuries from last week it seems.
Where did Voullioz hurt his wrist?
This course is awesome!

yo Fraser, Dave's flight to NY got delayed 4hrs out of burlington. he's missing his flight to germany tonight and will get on the next one at 4pm tomorrow. . . no idea when he'll get a flight to Austria after that. either way, he'll be a day late. international travel rules!!!!
he said you can check into the hotel though as you are listed as a guest and his cc info is all on file.

I raced for 3 weeks back to back on a broken Scaphoid a few years back. Massanutten, then Mt Snow, then Sugar. Merciless but possible. Had a screw put in 3 days afterwards.
BUT...scaphoid breaks come in degrees of SUCK..so his may have had a higher degree.

Propane powered vans...weird. Nothing like driving in a rolling bomb.
Hauling though Austria in a rainstorm in an LPG sprinter.
Stanny and Pete model the fuel adapter kit. You know you are a long way from home when you need adapters to fill your damn gas tank.
Wow, Euro Yard Sale...
Soon as the rain and insane wind started to hit, it turned ugly up top. Peopel dropping like flies.
I love a greasy, nasty finals to throw the odds right out the window and make things as random as possible. 
Oh..and Fraser...isn't it bad form to sit in another guys lap while he's driving? I know you wanted to get a good pic, but seriously?

Do you happen to know if this is the same wrist he injured early last year?
Should be a good weekend hopefully the gump can do the double.....
Hmm Pete from MOJO? Polish Pete?Stanny and Pete model the fuel adapter kit. You know you are a long way from home when you need adapters to fill your damn gas tank.
Yeah, random up until the 1st slot. If things are sloppy, things are certain.I love a greasy, nasty finals to throw the odds right out the window and make things as random as possible.
Man, that course looks sweet....
that course looks pretty nutty.
Well, I'm sure Sam will ride to win, but I think he only has to finish top 13 to title.
Speaking of titles, any old geezers know when the last time somebody won Worlds and World Cup overall in the same season?
Vouilloz, 1998 and 1999
And Chausson in 1998, 1999, 2000 (year in which she also won the dual slalom title for both the WC series and the championship!), 2002?
If she had not gotten bored she'd probably still be winning them

The course is fantastic, we walked it yesterday. If it rains, it will be a complete gong show as it's technical almost from top to bottom besides a few fast sections.
Yes Polish Pete.
No, Van Dine's other wrist.

Peaty on course.
D Riff. Sunshine at a world cup???!
It probubly puts less stress on his ankle/foot.
Nice sticker placement.
I'm putting my money on Kovarik. It's time for his once a year win.
Granted, Barel hunting down Sam by only .6 at Worlds has got me believing he's back to monster status despite the injury.
Ironic to think we got a muddy, nasty course and Peat isn't automaticly the favorite. Used to, if it was wet, he was a 2 to 1 fav.
