BTW who is the highest paid DHer around right now? It's odd how most other sports show contracts publicly but I've never seen them in MTB, maybe due to the swankly funded media coverage.

Brian Lopes and Steve Peat are neck and neck...sam hill is not even close to their numbers.

one man in austria believed it to be a good idea to sell Sam Hill's urine...we know this beverage as red bull

2nd overall no doubt which of course is nothing anyone here can criticize. It just doesn't seem like he has that extra gear any more when it comes to the finals or maybe Hill is just that damn good.

Peaty is always a contender for the win. I don't think he's lost anything in terms of speed.

Imagine what Sams gonna be like in his late 20's early 30's after he's had time to 'mature as a racer'.

That Steve is still top of his game at 33? is testament to his skill and fitness. Secretly, I'm hoping Steve will win the World Champs even though I'm a paid up member of the Sam Hill Fan Club.

I think Sam will pull a Nico or R.C. and run off to some motorsport. If he keeps it up he will be bored, quick.

Alex got 73rd. Not up there, but seeing as he is riding a different bike from every single other person on the mountain, he still gets props from me. Hopfully he can take care of his flat tires and start getting results.

'Had a chat with Minnar, he dislocated his shoulder in his race run, yes in his race run, he sat down popped it back in at the 3rd attempt whilst still racing and then used his muscle to hold it in, while still finishing second, incredible!'

much respect to Greg.

Oh right, I was under the impression that he dislocated his shoulder for the first time while walking the course at Champrey. I hadnt heard that it was an old injury from before that.

Greg is definitely the winner of the day. Without his shoulder problem he would have won by 15 seconds at least. When will Sam Hill quit?
