Source? I'm really curious.

I think he also tried to race in Schladming 08 or 09. Can't remember.

Given that DonDon just spent a week with him in Cabo Verde, I'm assuming his source is the proverbial horses mouth...

This was Nico's final WC race. Quite a few cool bits in here, including a future Mondraker engineer and a 17 year old Sam Hill.

And just for a bit of perspective on how dominating he was, Vouilloz retiring at the end of this race would be like Sam Hill and Gee both calling it a career at the end of 2011.

thanks for posting that... so cool.

1; He's French.

what's your point? I agree with the rest of what you wrote, but I don't understand this... are you saying french people have less "star potential"?

Too bad. I was kinda hoping he was spiking out of his ass and Nico will start in some of the euro WCs


As for French having no star power - CG.

American driven media and sport.

Aussies, Kiwis, Brits, Yanks.

Yes, i'm saying that i think it will be harder for you if you speak with a French accent.

Edit: As for CG - where is he? What's he doing? The CG brigade? Designing tires for Panaracer LOL.

That's because he is not a top rider anymore and is not racing as much as before. Between 2000 and 2008 he was everywhere. Easily one of the most recognisable riders both in the DH scene as well as by the sister pants jump scene.

Sorry, but Nico will not be racing world cups. He will be at some but wont be racing. This is not to say he would not be able to still podium at one, especially Labresse style, but he wont be racing. Sad but true.

Bummed to hear this. I'd like to see just one more Peaty/Nico showdown.
