Peat takes it again this year. Minaar's time on his Honda while not great looks close enough that he will be in the hunt this year.

If you look at it as 5 seconds behind Peat his time looks horrible but considering he was only 1 second behind Sam Hill and 2 seconds behind Gracia I think with more time on the bike and more tuning we might see some good stuff out of it.

I was just watching the 03 race last night, can't wait to see footage of the 04.

only 1 US racer? (Zink) Whats up with that?

 

[Kornphlake]

I think we should give cedric honorary citizenship.

 

[Eigil]

Yeah, I don't see that being a true test of the new Honda.

 

[crashing_sux]

While not a true test I think the only component people have major questions about is the tranny, the rest of the bike is pretty standard. From the footage I was watching it was a very pedally course.

Of course the tranny isn't going to be more efficient than a deraileur setup but many people were worried it would be much less efficient. If he's even in the ballpark on a pedally course then that at least hints towards the fact that it isn't going to be a major detriment.

Yeah, it's not conclusive of anything but I still find it interesting.

 

[RHmoto]

any link to see footage/pics?

Considering he lives in Canada now (at least part time), I don't know if he would take it haha

 

[dhtahoe]

Ok where am I going to put one of these on... I would love to promote an event like this here in the states.

Streets of San Francisco. We could have DH'ers jumping intersections like Steve McQueen and his Mustang in Bullit. How cool would that be?

Salivating at the possibilites.

Seriously doubt the permit would EVER be granted though.
