Mick Hannah is a serious contender on that course buddy and little Troy has been killing it lately.That said , to see him a whole 10 seconds BEHIND Gwin who had a CRASH kinda shows how strong the champ is compares to others ...Gwin looks strong, but no other big gun was racing.
Really psyched for the race!
Yep, and Gwinn crashed and still won yesterday.mic hannah is not a "big gun"??? have you seen his past results on that course? he won qualifying last year and was looking strong for the finals and went down. did really well the time before also.

Jesus told Gwinn not to worry about the haters because he had alot of doubters too.
Haha, better talk to Mr. Gwin about that. He started it all!can we keep religion out of this please?
thanks in advance.
I was praying someone would say this.can we keep religion out of this please?
thanks in advance.
thank god, someone i agree withI was praying someone would say this.
ftfy.Oh God, are there going to be bad religious puns for this entire season?
Go to hell, I'm just trying to save the thread...Oh God, are there going to be bad religious puns for this entire thread?
i think i read it starts at 13:00 local time which is GMT +2.what time does the race go off? GMT that is
thanks.i think i read it starts at 13:00 local time which is GMT +2.
i think we're gonna see hart on the podium more often this year.I predict Minnaar podiums. and gwin wins. and gee's bike doesn't explode and he actually does pretty well. I'm expecting good things from hill this year, but I will be neither surprised or disappointed if they don't come through for him this race.
Actually, I'm going to apply that to the entire season. I'm predicting that the establishment will continue to be the establishment (gwin, minnaar, atherton, and hill for all the other races), and the "up and comers" who are about to dominate the establishment actually end up putting it off until next year, but make it clear with a few podiums here and there that "srsly guys, we mean business."
edit:
one more prediction: mick hannah will decimate the qualifying rounds, showing everybody how to properly prepare for the wrong race, consistently putting up 5-10 seconds on the competition, and then thinking they just take the best of for your two times.
last edit: I have mentally switched gwin and peat. Gwin is the establishment where peat used to be, and peat is the "up and comer that occasionally podiums"
thanks.
now, do i stay up till 5? or get up at 5?
yeah, i will admit that I'm not as certain on hill v hart. Hart is the only one I see as a potential podium regular (that I didn't list), and hill is the only "establishment" that I'm not 100% confident in.i think we're gonna see hart on the podium more often this year.

and I'll mention that I only count gee as establishment if he isn't running tubeless. That guy is way to hard on bicycles to run tubeless.
nah, everybody is feeling great about it after it worked out so well having nobody attend otter last year.does no one else have a weird feeling because the otter is not the first thing of the season....
word!I hopre it won't be like last year. It was a pretty boring season with gwin gwinning all the time...
Hill's actually got him beat 4 to 3.Also, they say you get good at what you practice. Minnaar will get 2nd overall, as he has had the most practice of anybody doing that.
