They're also still young, wild and learning a lot I'm sure. They are fun to watch, for sure.

Look at Sam Hill. Dude was wild and had some wild crashes and slide outs. But now he seems to be pretty damn consistent.

I'm kinda bummed on Loris and Loic. Those kids are fast as hell, but it seems like that very quality is playing against them. They end up eating dirt when you think they will have a helluva run.

:stupid:
that is the difference between being really fast and being experienced at being really really fast.

I remember watching Stevie come up the ranks and people were saying the same thing. But then he hit his stride, as Pierron seems to have and as others have before them, and things clicked. I'm guessing it takes time for your confidence to catch up to your skills. But once they're "synced" they are greater than the sum of their parts.

It will be amazing to watch the future battles when Shaw, Bruni, Vergier, Pierron, Iles, and Gwin are all at the top of their games... I think it won't be that long.

I want to see Luca take the win. I am pretty sure Troy Brosnan has the top step in his sights again this year,

Rooting for Bruni, if he has a clean run I think he can beat anyone, also Dakota Norton win would be sick, the raw talent is definitely there, seeing his results jump in the past year from when he was on Morpheus/Trek Session, to now on Devinci is ridiculous. If he keeps improving at that rate anything is possible?

Norton out injured I think, PB mentioned all 3 of their DH squad are injured and it's an EWS racer who's DHing this weekend.

'nother WC DH?! Yassss!

Weird that the "normal" guys aren't racing. But newish/newer names are cool too.

Go fast! Make shapes! Throw roost! Tight racing is the best racing.
