This morning as the sun rose, obscured from view, many of us may have had a notion of how things would pan out today. Jolanda Neff had the strength and skills to take the win, but not without a fight. That much proved true for many of us. The other side of the coin was whether or not Nino Schurter would walk away with an easy first win of the season. That proved not true. Jaroslav Kulhavey had other plans of how today would shake down. Needless to say, there was some very exciting racing in the woods of Nove Mesto today.

He currently lives out of a Ogio bag, and calls the road his home. Delorme works for Trek Bicycle, covering their MTB racing programs. He can usually be found laying in the dirt trackside, cracking jokes and saying things that make little to no sense. He enjoys capturing accessory moments and the journey every bit as much as catching the action shot. Irmo Keizer • Age: 36 • Years Shooting: 10 Irmo Keizer has been mountain biking since high school. Irmo loves nature, technical trails and landscapes and dislikes too many race lines and fire roads.

I want that trumpet for my Reverb... Then I saw someone running a Rocket Ron - on Xc race it's like running a Minion on Enduro race! I don't give a damn if those guys are running no droppers and no wide bars, but... those tyres in those conditions - They are Wizards! I give you sun salutations on my knees.
