Les Gets World Cup or showing them Americans on how to gather a sizable crowd
- Thread starter sethimus
- Start date
On the PB race résumé it said he made "mistake after mistake after mistake" - a shit ride. Happens.
Otherwise again an excellent show. The baguettes are in a different league this year, astonishing. Curious if any rider can win a race this year other than The Crazy Arm and Super Brunette.

Can't see it happening. The French are just too strong this year. Vergier might get one too.
What tracks are left this year? Val di Sole, MSA, and Snowshoe? All three of those are pretty burly if I'm not mistaken. They should suit Pierron (and his bike), Bruni, and Vergier well, but also Hart, Brosnan and Greenland (if he can keep his head in the game). I wouldn't count Minaar out at MSA (and perhaps Snowshoe) either.
I think we have a very exciting second half of the season ahead of us!
Also, where's World's again?
Think Snowshoe is Worlds...at the very least it's where I will drunkenly interview random people with a dildo microphone.
I just checked. Worlds is at MSA again. https://www.uci.org/mountain-bike/events/uci-mountain-bike-world-championships-presented-by-mercedes-benz
MSA is worlds. Snowshoe is the following weekend. If Gwin is healthy by then he's a threat for sure.
Ok, strike the first part of my post.
they wouldn't have worlds at a first time venue.
Although with Worlds before the last race and a very tight overall, wonder if some of the top guys (ie - T. Broz, Mach Frenchies) will be holding back a bit?
no. brosnan and Pierron are tied. and 110 back from Bruni. at this point in the season a crash during a race run would most likely put any of them out of contention.
alright we get it, you think you're superior. the joke is old, was never funny. now seriously, shut. the. fuck. up. about. it.
Don't feed the troll. You're making it all too easy for him.
surely the level of asshattery at SS will more than compensate for the diminutive crowd size?
wonder if shaw will be a threat there? kinda home turf...

Neko will for sure.
A threat to what? This may be a local race for him, but the competition isn't going to be local.
home field advantage. he's been providing feedback on the course building since last winter.
My easy bold prediction - FR takes the top three spots, the rest of the podium is taken by GB and their former colonies. Maaybe with a single AUT guy in the top 10.
The fast guys are gonna be the fastest no matter where the race is, because they are fast.
unless they crash.
they were still fast. up until they crashed!unless they crash.
also the frenchies aren't going to be sure how to handle all the banjo playing.
Ha! yeah for sure.Scroll to 5:42. I can't be certain, but I'm pretty sure some poo got squeezed out right then and there.
I watched the second half of Amaury's run in 0.25x speed. Sick. There's so much going on at once, and how he remains in control, almost as if on autopilot is amazing. Also, hearing Warners narration at that playback speed is hilarious. sounds like a chipmunk high on weed.
