I'd say they all ride great and each of them can win. Hill won World cup, can say he's the best, he rides smooth and fast dh and to me his riding looks like every course was easy for him and not demanding too much effort and technique, that's amazing...but guys like Peat, Rennie, Kovarik, Minar, Lehikoinen, Athertons, they all do a great job out there and are an inspiration to not pro riders...

My vote goes Barel for favourite, but right now I think Sam Hill is the best.

SAM HILL, definitely!!! Tons of style!
Steve Peat is amazing too. but I liked his riding style much more when he was in Orange. Why did you switch, Steve??? (I know it, I konw it)

Considering his age, Peaty owns everybody when he has his two feet(dh), I like this guy! Sam Hill Doesn't care to blow shit up and for 4x- cedric Gracia was a beast but now I would say.....euhm.- I really dont know !:P I think 4x Su***

its got to be peaty maybe not in tems of position but hes been around so long and is still very quick
but barels dedication to the sport is unbelivible hes a machine
so its peaty for favourite and barel (if hes on form) is the best

I personnaly think right now its obvious that Sam Hill is the fastest... like the guy is a f*ckin freight train, unstoppable... but theres still racers that deserve props like Peat, Gracia, Barel, etc... But what i see a lact of is one of the greatest racers of all time... John Tomac, this guy races the kamikazi and whips all the little kids like theyre nothing... we're talking about a dude that is well into his 40s' and he can take the skilled young guns... Anyways a slight comment for that "emubritish" prick... you got something against the french keep it to yourself!!!! theres no place for ignorant comments like that!!!! PEACE!

true but don't forget gee atherton who is ranked higher than cedric in both 4X and DH

Gee is 7th in 4X and 3rd in DH
