How much do they get paid for always having goggles wrapped around their neck..? 
Tenth isnt brilliant for Needles, he's placed higher a few times this season.
Pedemaud never raced for Kenda Morewood although he was on a Morewood last season. The newly acquired Kenda Morewood rider is Fabien Cousinie, also known as Cous Cous formerly from the satellite team Morewood United. I had the privilege of riding alot with him toward the end of last year and for a few weeks before the 'Maritzburg world cup this year. A really fast guy on the bike and a solid chap off it with an amazing attitude to riding and life in general, Morewood has gained a brilliant representative in him.
oh really? since when?
Is it just me or has this thread ended in a flaming pile of Stupid?
Yep. Uber crap !
Hey Tomac Racer, did you noticed that the 17 year old kid that finished 13th was riding a Tomac Primer?...
I thought you of all people would of been onto that...
Here's an attempt to bring some awesomeness back to the thread: http://video.mpora.com/watch/jESFlXInS
p.s. I'm still looking for confirmation that it was Gee who smacked his head into the tree in the Dirt video (from finals I think)...
Due to the amount of morons who decided to post in this thread, it is getting unstuck.
I noticed. Rhys is having a great season so far (for the most part besides the flat at Andora).Hey Tomac Racer, did you noticed that the 17 year old kid that finished 13th was riding a Tomac Primer?...

haha i love the crash into the tree at 4.13 in that mondraker video
and good to see fabien being back!!!
Yeah you've gotta love Flats... Thanks goodness Rhys has had some luck since Andorra. If he does well in Canada, he should get the UCI jersey from Danny Hart. Fingers crossed!
awesomeness indeed!
see the look on Barel's face when Gee bins it? he looked genuinely horrified - a million miles from the look on Peatys face when Hill went down at the WChamps! Barel seems to have so much more respect for his competitors than a lot of the other "top guys" this, along with his meticulous attention to detail feels reminiscent to Nico's professionalism. personally I'd love him or Hill to take the WChamps again this year.
couldn't agree with you more
Peaty actually thought that he had won world champs when Sam went down.
Gee's crash last weekend was pretty damn ugly and anyone on the hot seat would have reacted about the same.
That is a pretty inaccurate comparison and were two totally different venues with Peaty's having been the world champs that he has been trying to win since the 90's.
Peaty has more respect for every single rider on the circuit than any one else, Barel is a close second and is respected and looked up to about the same as Peaty.

Why not those guys don't post videos on youtube?!
It looks like those guys who loves Mac...and don't load videos on youtube because wants to be "different".

Umm, no it's not b/c they "love Mac" (which I'm pretty sure they do though). It's b/c both Dirt and MPORA are owned by Factory Media.

Yes thats true however Rhys scored 85 points in Maribor and he would need to do well again in Canada to take the lead.... Rhys didn't do South Africa, so he was behind the eight ball right from the start. He has caught and overtaken Aari and Brooke and if he does well in Canada, its going to make Schladming very interesting.
Either way, Rhys has really lifted to another level this season... He just gets quicker every year.
Yeah, I'm well aware Peat probably did think he finally had a chance of taking the champs when Hill crashed but from a spectators point of view I still stand by my original comment/comparison. As for him being more respectful, well.. we're just gonna have to dissagree there, from where I stand Peaty's "Brits abroad" attitude over the years (especially towards the French) has been far from respectful.
Oh, and Barel has been "trying" to win it nearly as long as Peat
they race with the rest of the Elites. but what ever points they earn go towards the Juniors World Cup Championship.
For example Danny Hart is #27 in overall Elites with 270 points...but since he's highest ranked junior, he's #1 in the Junior's Championship.
if you look on the UCI site, there's a "°" marking the riders competing in Junior.

Its alot more confusing than we think... Your talking about the UCI world cup standings where Danny is ranked 27th on 230 points and Rhys is ranked 56th with 127 points.
There is also the UCI ranking points which is to do with the amount of UCI points you have made this year.
Here are the junior rankings list:
World Ranking: Name Points
63 Rhys Willemse (Aus) 211
75 Danny Hart (Eng) 184
131 Shaun O'Connor (Aus) 98
171 Brook MacDonald (NZ) 72
186 Aari Barrett (NZ) 65
Rhys is now leading the junior uci rankings. Danny is leading the world cup standings. Its all too confusing.
Here is the complete ranking lists: http://www.uci.ch/templates/BUILTIN-NOFRAMES/Template3/layout.asp?MenuId=MTUxNjU&LangId=1
UCI rankings is something completely different from world cup standings. You can be higher than better riders just by competing in more races.
As it was said before look at the world cup standings and you have there the junior standings.

NO! What you are talking about is the highest standings... The rankings are how much points you've earn t in the past 12 months, because you lose points after 12 months.
Its all too confusing.
What's with the "it's all to confusing". You get points for every World cup you start in and whoever has the most WORLD CUP POINTS is the Junior world cup champion.
The UCI points are the points given by any uci ranked race (world cups, euro champs, national cups and champs etc.). It's a bit like the FIFA national team standings if you are into football/soccer.(besides the fact that you need a certain amount of points to start in a WC race)
What is so hard to understand?
I said the same thing 3 posts ago... I'm not confused, I was two weeks ago when I was trying to work it all out. I'm just trying to make other members of this forum understand...
Enough of this subject.... Go back to talking about the elite guys.

Fabien is developing it with them at the moment he talks about it a little in his freecaster interview
I'm pretty sure its this interview but could be wrong

Look you could argue semantics, but Holy making stuff up.
How the hell do you figure all of this? Are you around the WC circuit and know all these guys and have a ranking system?????
How is that making things up. Watch The Tipping Point and watch any other video about the 2008 WC season, Peaty says it himself. Hell he was really hoping that Gee would slip a pedal or crash just so that he could FINALLY win worlds.
Who wouldn't show their worry for a downed rider. Sure Fabien seems to be a genuine guy and he showed that to me when I rode with those guys for a few runs at Bromont last season before the WC.
You show me one person that Peaty doesn't respect on the circuit. You know what, I will ask him personally in less than a month.
That's not making stuff up, that is straight from the rider.
