neimbc (Sep 13, 2013 at 5:35)

I paused it there and wondered how they just don't blow off the rim - amazing!

clarky78 (Sep 13, 2013 at 7:16)

nikifor88 FL (Sep 13, 2013 at 5:18)

hill manualing those bumps- dude has skillz

kes2903 (Sep 13, 2013 at 5:35)

Does anyone know the current standings situation? I know its close at the top, what I mean is for example if Stevie Smith comes first then what position must Gee finish in to win overall? Will Gee win overall as long as he finishes ahead of Stevie? Could anyone else nick it? Am I making sense??

Loony0 (Sep 13, 2013 at 5:44)

Here is the standings

dingus (Sep 13, 2013 at 5:46)

There's still another round next weekend remember, I don't think anyone can take the title this weekend.

kes2903 (Sep 13, 2013 at 5:47)

Cheers pal! Do you know how many points for 1st, how many for 2nd etc?

kes2903 (Sep 13, 2013 at 5:48)

Oh is there?? I thought this was the last round! Sweet! Where is it?

dingus (Sep 13, 2013 at 5:57)

Leogang. I think those standings above are the overall UCI rankings and include the World Champs, so not just the World cup. I can't seem to find an up to date World cup overall anywhere though. I think it's 200 for a win and 50 for 1st in qualifying.

dingus (Sep 13, 2013 at 6:02)

Just found them on the Dirt site, but only the top 8:

Atherton – 847
Smith – 727
Minnaar – 538
Hill – 509
Thirion – 430
Gwin – 417
Bruni – 408
Hart – 408

kes2903 (Sep 13, 2013 at 6:59)

Thats awesome cheers bro!

AdamChed (Sep 13, 2013 at 8:21)

not it^.. as if Gwin would be in 6th this year..

straight from the UCI site..

1 Gee ATHERTON - 1399
2 Steve SMITH - 1166
3 Greg MINNAAR - 1025
4 Michael HANNAH - 851
5 Loic BRUNI - 781
6 Samuel HILL - 762
7 Samuel BLENKINSOP - 754
8 Marcelo GUTIERREZ VILLEGAS - 743
9 Troy BROSNAN - 701
10 Rémi THIRION - 675

dingus (Sep 13, 2013 at 8:27)

Those rankings include other races too. There has only been 4 World Cups so far this year, with a maximum of 250 points available per round which means the most anyone could have at this stage of the season is 1000pts. So there is no way Gee can be on 1399pts from the World Cup alone.

Pininator (Sep 13, 2013 at 9:25)

Dingus posted the World Cup standings and AdamChed posted the UCI overall rankings. Two separate creatures altogether.

At this stage of the season (and considering Gee won quali's today for max points), Smith has the only realistic shot at overtaking Gee for the WC title. Sunday's results will tell us if it goes down to the wire at the last race at Leogang.

steve-miller (Sep 13, 2013 at 5:08)

Brendog's kit is soooo nice!

chair1films (Sep 13, 2013 at 18:23)

Same with brosnans color scheme..both are sick

dglobulator (Sep 13, 2013 at 7:16)

Nice shot at 1.32, tire almost rolling off the rim!

ajd327 (Sep 13, 2013 at 12:45)

I pleasure myself to Troy Brosnan's bike

skydiveblake (Sep 13, 2013 at 6:46)

That music was freakin horrible.

sino428 (Sep 13, 2013 at 9:20)

Yea some dubstep would have been awesome.

domseriouz (Sep 13, 2013 at 6:02)

Hahahaaa, love the end of the vid!

AlexBuza (Sep 13, 2013 at 9:55)

wtf ? look at the flying stone at 3:45

kerberos FL (Sep 13, 2013 at 5:02)

Dirt's choice of music gets even better every time, gotta LOVE Glasvegas!

dingus (Sep 13, 2013 at 5:25)

Said no one ever.

timbud (Sep 13, 2013 at 6:14)

Wait, what? This video is by Dirt?!!
Surely PinkBike would give them credit if that was true

yarno (Sep 13, 2013 at 5:14)

Psychopat (Sep 13, 2013 at 5:21)

That intro in the spa... What was he doing underwater? I meen to the other guy!

fingerbangextreme (Sep 13, 2013 at 5:22)

kovarik's riding didn't look super-aggressive enough to me

clarky78 (Sep 13, 2013 at 7:18)

Because that doesn't equal fast.

kolya (Sep 13, 2013 at 5:23)

The track is sick!

Flausy (Sep 13, 2013 at 5:53)

Sweet vid! Want to give that track a shot

char34 (Sep 13, 2013 at 5:39)

mtbrider do you mean snapierre

mcds828ski (Sep 13, 2013 at 12:47)

fucking shit song

llarrggee (Sep 13, 2013 at 13:50)

I was just about to say the same then I saw your post.

teamtool (Sep 13, 2013 at 14:38)

Same here!! Total shit

Pininator (Sep 13, 2013 at 16:05)

It could be worse...think dub-step. :/

mtbrider619 (Sep 13, 2013 at 5:13)

6:40 check the back end of that lapierre on slow-mo you'll be amazed

snomaster (Sep 13, 2013 at 11:49)

what happened there?

gclarida (Sep 13, 2013 at 9:14)

why does mpora ALWAYS have the worst music for there edits?

Pininator (Sep 13, 2013 at 16:05)

Since you asked, I'm going to go out on a limb and say they do it to drive you crazy.

kerberos FL (Sep 13, 2013 at 5:10)

Brosnan didn't look fluid to me. Gee was flying!

Below threshold threads are hidden

bman33 (Sep 13, 2013 at 7:37)

UCI please pay attention. Nobody appreciates South Africa!! (except maybe Minnar). It isn't a 2013 World Cup DH worthy course. It is behind a shopping center, no lift, no resort, not much tech, just big jumps.

Pininator (Sep 13, 2013 at 9:28)

Funny. The racers seem to like it for WC/DH...not so much World Champs, though. Not every course can be Val de Sol or Champery - variety is the key.

bman33 (Sep 13, 2013 at 9:37)

Most racers actually don't like it for WC/DH. Several racers in this video alone refer to it as not being a proper DH course. Read all the blogs, mags, etc. leading up to it. Most racers do not consider it a proper WC/DH course. I am all about variety and fast tracks. Is it fast and probably fun to ride? Sure. But the venue is garbage. It literally is behind a strip mall, not resort or lodging, or lift. The truck ride up is thru slums that look like they came out of a National Geographic mag, and there have to be armed guards to protect the place. It is a crap hole.

Pininator (Sep 13, 2013 at 10:49)

Maybe Obama will lobby Congress to take PMB off the map, since it's THAT horrible.
