 I kinda want Mitch to win. Not because I like his bike, but because I think the pinkbike aftermath would be funny. Plus he's a cool dude.

 Yea I'd love to see the hate!

 the internet would implode

 id like to see him win because apparently he is getting a lot of guff and BS from the ppl on his bike/wheel choice

 Is it me or does Mik's chainring look freaking massive?

 how come some guys are running some short ass travel bikes ?

one of the original uci rules of downhill states you must have atleast like 7.5''s of travel so how come they are getting away with basically mountain bikes not downhill bikes? FTW MAYURN !!!!

 @kiwibraaap He is running a 40 tooth chainring!

 Its a shame the one race of the year where you can go all out and get as patriotic as possible and not everyone does it, its that there choice or the team managers I wonder.

On another note the UCI banned skin suits as they gave the sport of DH a bad look, now if Mitch Ropelato's bike is not doing that then I don't know what will. Until I see 27.5 or 29" wheels win on a track like Val Di Sole or Vallnord I do not want to see them. So happy to see Santa Cruz and Chain Reaction keeping it real!!! Big travel and normal wheels.

 probably to give minnaar a better chance of winning
  • 17 2
 Its all about the variation. if the champs were held on super steep techy tracks each year then it wouldn't give riders like Graves and Hannah a chance to shine. goes both ways, if the champs were held on tracks like PMB each year then you wouldn't see riders like Hill, Hart, Blinky etc do well. Thats my theory anyway.

 Anyone notice Mitch's cassette? Looks like he's planning on climbing some hills mid run...

 Mitch doesn't need no shuttle ^

 Mitch Who ? riding a crap bike is the only way he will get any attention, I always thought Minnaar being on the UCI was a bad move hence the reason the SA even got a world cup race but hopefully the enduro bike gets to him as much as skin suits did and he gets them banned! Looking forward to the negative probs on this one.

 I hope he or sam hill wins. They have the sickest bikes

 I know timed training isn't everything (or anything for that matter), but Mitch is second to Stevie. He's been using 29ers on mellower tracks for probably over a year now. If it works for him, why not?

 "mitch who?" mitch ropelato that's who. if you're good enough to be on specialized's factory dh team you're pretty f*ckin good that and the fact he's won alot of shit, maybe not a world cup but he's more versatile than most world cup dh riders

 Sam hill also said last year that he doesnt consider this a proper downhill tarck because there is so much pedalling.

 Internet would disappear into a black hole if that Ghey f*****g XC bike wins a DH world Chumps, thats what the champs would turn into, not good for South Africa as a DH rep!
But bloody heck Jared Graves pinning it on a SB66 as well.

 Ther not xc bikes.....they are enduro style bikes. And enduro trails are just as gnarly! This track is not even gnarly, its just fast and pedally.

 in my eyes the are mountain bikes not downhill bikes if you want to race a downhill race then you must have atleast a 7'' travel frame its one of the original rules these new style 650b bullshit gay ass 29ers sweepstake mofo shit is annoying, keep it real or just fuck off all together with you ''enduro bikes'' have we forgotten they are just AM bikes enduro is just a new marketing name shitting hell this is more pathetic than twerking
  • 7 0
 I just read the uci rules for Dh.
It says no Lycra or tight fitting clothing, but nothing about wheel size or how much suspension travel you have to have, so as there ain't any skinsuits, they can ride whatever type of mountain bike they want!
Maybe the new wheel sizes and short travel bikes will shine through?
After all, if it wins races, people will buy it.

 @ wsxzaqe1: His mechanic said he's running an XX1 cassette so he can get the benefit of the 10 tooth on the rear from what I remember

 Minnaar is current World Champ, has 3 Word Cup overall titles to his name, has been racing for years. Surely he does not benefit from racing a "flat" course more or less than anyone else. He has proven himself on all the tracks all around the world. May the best athlete win tomorrow. One life!!

 @heavyp Mitch got second innfront of gee yeah I think he might get some attention
  • 2 3
 The original Commencal DH bike only had 7 inches of travel so how come the Athertons(and warlier riders) were allowed to use them?
  • 5 2
 @elanto....you know nothing!!! Do you own an enduro style bike?...or even an AM bike? Nope!!!!! So shhhhhhht!!!!! No talking!!!
  • 8 1
 Elanto, DH racing existed long before 7" of travel was ever even an idea, so WTF "original" rules are you talking about? A DH bike is a "mountain bike" ya silly goof!

 I can see why Mitch is running that bike but its a bit sad that people have to consider riding enduro bikes on a supposedly dh course. I would like to see the UCI use gnarly courses such as champery, schaldming, val di sole, vallnord and others including fort bill and MSA. But then again, the UCI don't like doing things logically...

 calling it now, it is not the bike , it is the rider.... to me it is going to be the top three and the after,, Smith 1st. Hannah 2nd, and Hill Third with Gee comeing in at 4th and if he does it again and he might just take it all the one and only Minar... got a feeling but I am still pulling for Stevie Boy Smith to take it all and take the next two final races of the DH series this year. If not both than One cause I still have faith in Samuel I will crush anything Hill....The End..Any bets///

I mean not disrespect for the Queen...I will say that Peaty with be in the top 10..He always has a bitchin looking frame every Worlds...Last year he had the Flag on there in Gold flake I think...

 I'd like to see Hill or Smith crush it and win, but part of me wants Graves to own everybody by 6 seconds or more. He's been a monster all season in the EWS. I bet the final stage at the Whistler EWS round was more demanding than the SA DH course and its only 1/4 the distance. He had over 20 seconds into Barel and 30 seconds into Jerome on that stage. Graves got my vote for this one. He's got the skills and the fitness to dominate.

Local dude Louis Hamiltons bike props for getting pic in PB bro, looks sick and dialled, Banshee sic as do the Doctor Evil boi's on the undead, Bulldogs Trek, even Hills bike in Wallaby jersey colours sorta pops and looks cough cough AB fan choking saying this looks sic.

 If dropper posts are needed...Not a true DH course. If riders decide to use non-DH bikes because they feel a true DH bike is too much, (such as Spec. 29 Enduro, and other Enduro type bikes)...not a true DH course.

According to the UCI bank account, it is a true DH Course
