Maribor World Cup Live
- Thread starter Transcend
- Start date
WC Maribor 2009 teaser appearently.
Looking forward to this one, a certain Sam needs to repeat last year if he wants to hang in there and have a good shot at the gold this year.
Somebody should buy Matti some food...he looks like he was just racing in Etiopia last week.
Rain is predicted for weekend, but sunny till friday.

Lay off the pipe Johnny....
oster_oops:sorry, I forgot sarcasm doesn't transfer over the internet :biggrin:
was kidding about the dw thing
I still think minnaar is going to win though.
This was taken right before all the hot chicks showed up to get a piece of you, right fraser? I mean, no shirt and all...
Still waiting for a nasty mudfest......those are the best races.
Big thunderstorms at the moment...
I have been to maribor in pissing rain and track holds up really well, you are going to have to wait for MSA for your mudfest hahaStill waiting for a nasty mudfest......those are the best races.
Yeah, the only problem is zillions of roots that are there. There would still be some room for mistakes there but nothin ultra random as the track seems pretty mud proof.
Oh ya, I didn't say it was easy in the mud...I just heard mudfest and thought something like lesgets mud, where you have to scoobydoo all the way down, pull mud out of bike during run, etc...
Don't even remind me of such rides. I still remember one time when my wheels stoped turning due to mud invasion. Not that it stopped the bike from going down.
I think that is one of the things I like about Maribor. You can have ****ty weather there and still have fun without cursing yourself for not bringing spikes all the time.
I agree.
I am thinking:
1. Greg
2. Sam
3. Mick
4. Steve
5. Gee
I am super bummed Peaty couldn't keep the winning streak. =\

Is that Vanderham in the blue Dakine t-shirt next to Matti?
I wonder is Stevie Smith will uncork a podium this weekend... that would be sweet.

Robbie Bourdan uses a mac? and when did he start riding for Monster?Another week, another world cup. Sunny and HOT in Maribor this morning.

You're an idiot.
Sorry, didn't mean to insult your BF. I was kidding, obviously. We all know Robbie isn't that small =).
Just f'ing with you. Nor is the that robust!
I see a North American on the podium for this one - maybe even two in the top-10. Up until a year ago, I'd get laughed off the boards for posting that. Now, it's just small chuckling at most. It's possible!!!
It's going to be interesting for sure. Hill's not the only one starving for a "W" this week. Everybody outside of Minnaar and Peat have yet to stand on the top box this season. I think this may be Sick Mick's week if he's still riding like he has been up to this point.

Holy crap, we just had the biggest hail storm I have ever seen! Crazy. Everything from pelets to gold ball sized.
Hope you got insurance on the Rental!!!!
If it's wet I doubt it.
It doesn't have to be. I think people remind themselves when was the last time Minnaar won on a technical track. Pedaling power gives you imo almost no advantage on this trail. I can think of 3 spots of hard pedaling.
My bets are for all the techy guys and Greg as a consistent rider at the bottom spot of the podium.
1. Hill
2. Peat
3. Blenki
4. Gee
5. Greg
6. Matti
Go on then, I'll throw my hat in for this one:
1. Blenki
2. Hill
3. Peat
4. Minnaar
5. Barel (is he even racing this one with his knee?)
1. Blenki
2. Hill
3. Peat
4. Minnaar
5. Barel (is he even racing this one with his knee?)
He raced Ft. Bill with the knee brace on and got 15th place, only 3 seconds off 10th.
I hope hes racing this one...
I think Gee might be right up there actually this weekend... would be sweet for him to get another win under his belt. Wouldn't be surprised to see a solid performance from Brendon either, though I don't think it's tech enough for him to be in with a chance of winning.
Unless it rains
