I don't think any of his recent seasons are representative of his abilities, just pointing out podium appearances.
The other reality is that even if his podiums weren't taken into consideration, dude would still get in the vids and pics b/c he throws nutty runs with 2 Kourics of mean shlt whips and scrubs.

so wait, when brendog heals up from an injury, he'll be on the podium right?

But when sam hill heals up from his injury, he will not be? And with Gee on tires that wont spontaneously fall off his rims next year, I suspect he'll be itching for some podiums. And that guy greg minnaar has been pretty consistently fast over the years, not to mention that new guy, uh, gwin, who did ok last year.

I'm betting the podium is stacked with hill, minnaar, gwin, and gee next year, and brendog, blenki, cole, and hart fight over the scraps, with peat putting them in their places every once in awhile.

You're forgetting Stevie Smith. 5th overall and didn't race the final at Val di Sole.

2012 should be interesting.

isn't sam going to be busy changing diapers and bottles? sleep deprivation is not conducive to racing.

Just a guess but Trek is located in Wisconsin and that LOL cat-looking thing in the center sure looks like a C3 to me. Could be Trek is updating their C 3 free ride team.

I feel silly cause Turman and I were just discussing this on the vital post but probably thinking, Pascal, Mick, Tracey, Tim Bentley. Seems about right?
Isn't Jonnier looking for a ride also now that Rocky Mountain has pulled out of DH? She's in France too... I was thinking of Ruaridh (or however it's spelled) too, but that drawing doesn't really touch Scotland... or does it?

my take here would be. family would be Mick and tracy. the USA arrow apears to be near Montana. I believe Micks USA home is there. Global reference would be Mick and Needles as they were both raced for Global. United being Morewood United. I also believe I heard Alex Bond to Morewood? That would be 2 Elite Men, One woman, and a jr? ( I am taking Bond is a JR? not too familliar with him)

Doubt it is Tracey...

From her press release:
"I am currently being supported by Nsdynamics, and Gt Bicycles have given me a bike to race."

That may be true, but a lot of times, those guys (in Oceania) will have a bike they race down there and then a different set up come time for the world cups. (thinking nathan rankin / wyn / etc). probably talking out of my ass though.

That is true, often contracts don't commence until the northern hemisphere season kicks off so Kiwi's and Aussies will usually work out another deal back home.

weird. they usually get up and coming riders and get rid of them when they start doing good.
Yeti does usually get up and coming riders but I don't think they get rid of them.
I think they get offers for more money elsewhere once Yeti gets them recognized. I'm pretty sure that Leov, Blenki, and Gwin left on their own, am I right? Who else am I missing?

The guys at MS sure believe that Brook will be under contract with them for the 2012 season. What happens after that is a mystery.

It would be awesome to see Brooke on Yeti with Eliot Jackson, who very well could have his coming out year next season if he trains hard during the off season.
