Well that's kinda what I thought, I remember reading he was injured somewhere (never read his blog) and then seen him at the weekend looking well fast and there he is on the start list, dunno?!
WC Round 1: Pietermaritzburg, SA
- Thread starter William42
- Start date
That is not what is retarded. Look within.
Ha, I hear ya though. Go World Cup season !!
Have there been any recent updates on Barel?
He raced here last weekend, the results were on the Dirt site but the weather seemed to play a part in the race, by way of example Tracey Mosley beat half the men, including Barel. I think he is fit though.
Cheers, I missed that race report.
I am so ready to watch Freecaster this Sunday!!!! New HD Projector in the Theater Room and computer is now integrated into the system with a DVR program to record each race..... Yah, I just geeked out a little!!!!

I seen the new 2012 TLD stuff and all I can say is WoOzers! Wait till you see the lion. I think it was an Ed Hardy TLD calab.
Link to them all you want...should be an awesome race, although flicking through frasers photos, he captures the pedalling section in one quite well...I hope he doesn't mind me linking to it here...
They do that sometimes...has happened before....
I heard MSA and Windham WCs only....... and Crankworks.
Sven and Gary Day 1 goods...it's on!!

Kinda sucks if he is competitive with Troy yet he gets to ride less WC events.
It's his final year of high school and he has made the choice to get his studies out of the way before going overseas.
Must have been a tough decision.
not to mention mullaly. Its not like troy was head and shoulders in front of neko the races they had together.
good for him, good call!
A load of bikes and riders for you...

Will update with more soon.
check out Gees bike:
new exo looking side walls and no name brand rims... i wonder how light that set up is...
CG with a dropper post!
sic mick with a huge chain ring!
I wonder how many of the "flats" guys are going to be switching to clips for this race.
*edit* there is also a ton of vivid airs on those bikes.... wonder how many of them will actually race with the shock.

Great coverage DIRT! Digging Sam's kit. Yeah, I said it
Is Gee wearing a D3 now?
Thats what I thought??
I spy a few vivid airs 
Will they actually be on for race runs though...

In the Pinkbike PMB preview there's a picture of the Commencal mechanics putting some yellow tape in a rim... http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/6472709/ could these be the prototype Stans DH rims?! Could Gee be running tubeless?! that looks like a rear wheel to boot.
YUP. Just shows who's leading in helmet protection. Graves (amongst a bunch of other riders) is also running a D3 despite having another helmet sponsor.
poc?.
Alex Rankin back on the WC circuit?? winning!

timed practice results. meaningless but fun!!
fixed that for ya.
S. Smith with the sharpie DHF's. Who's his tire sponsor?
of all people to get the right answer, you were not the one i expected. +rep for you good sir!
edit: must spread.
how come none of the Spesh boys are running the new Keronite boxxer?
maybe specialized is like that d|ck step dad who has something cool and gives it to all the neighbor kids but won't give it to his step kids until they prove themselves.
or something else.
those two current world champs on the team must be like the red-headed step child then.
