Trek World Racing 2012 Team Lineup

 no

 Jealous much?

 we all know that its gunna be alot harder for gwin this year
with danny hart comfortably set in the wc now
fairclough on scott
brycland and hill are gunna be on form
and we've got no idea how the athertons are gunna do cause we dont know who they'll be riding for ..
santa cruz are gunna be good aswell
trek were on top of the carbon last year but you know that every other manufactorers gunna be pushing there bikes beyond cause now they've got a target to beat

 All the rumours have been true so far,so im guessing GT.

 for some reason i think ben reid and luke stroble are going to do very well this upcoming year.

 Stinkysmith- At the level these riders are riding at I doubt other manufacturers "pushing there bikes beyond cause now they've got a target to beat" would change anything. It does not matter much what bike these guys are on, there all world class athletes. It all comes down to which team is willing to spend the most money on your teams training and preparation. Dannys bike was not any faster than the trek 9.9, danny was the most prepared man on the mountain that day. Wherever the athertons end up they will be fast!

 i agree
but all the manufactorers want nothing more than a world cup win or championship
and all these riders want the same TO WIN if you dont then your not a world cup racer
but ill admit trek probably have the best training and that however all the teams will learn from them and how successfull they have been and use their techniques
and danny was faster because 1. hes english and we have near on nothing but rain ..so he is used to our conditions 2. he REALLY wanted a win cause he was soo close in some of the world cups and he knew the conditions and he took more risks to get it (logdrop ect) and they really paid off to be nearly 12 seconds ahead of world cup racers and he deffinatly deserved it ..
and like almost every other world cup gwin deserved it for all his hard training and that all im saying is that other riders and companies are coming and they're going to do whatever it takes to win .. even if its only one race

 I think Gwin will be even faster this year, given that he is still relatively new to the sport. First Tomac taught him everything he knew about DH and training, and now Myles will teach him a few more tricks. Plus he will be even stronger this year if he trained like he did last year.

I'm unfortunately expecting alot of injuries this year from some of the big name riders because they will be pushing so hard to keep up with him. There are so many riders out there hungry for world cup wins, but they don't really have the skills to keep up with Gwin. So they will push the limit a little too far and cause self inflicted carnage to themselves. I hate to do this but I'm making injury predictions. Hear me out before you give me negative props...The most likely guys to take themselves out are those who race on flat pedals. They know they have to make up time on Gwin in the technical sections cause he is killing them in the pedal sections. But their big problem is that Gwin is going just as fast as them in the technical sections, if not faster. So they have to ride way over their abilities in the technical sections and take insane risks if they want to have a shot at the win. I don't want to throw names around, but I'm talking about guys like Hill, Brosnan, Miami Bryce, and Bren-Dawg, those kind of riders. Maybe Steve Smith, he is still getting used to clips. God I hope I'm wrong about all this. But I think Gwin has gotten inside just about everyones head with his dominance in all conditions. Minnnar is just scratching his head, he doesn't know where he is going to find the speed to catch Gwin. Same with Gee A, except he is even more pissed cause he hasn't won in awhile. The only chance they have is if Gwin makes a mistake or crashes, it's like with James Stewart and supercross. Except that Gwin doesn't make many mistakes.

It's going to be an exciting season, especially with the DH1 series.

 @ Protour , I can see where your coming from,I think Gwin will definitly be faster but the point you made about no one being able to keep up with him will continue is were I dont agree.

Gwin had a great advantage this year.The element of surprise , because he didnt even win in 2010 so no one was expecting him to dominate this year so the top 10 just stuck to their normal routine because they were doing well with that and werent expecting anyone to destroy them,Especially Gee and greg.So Gwin knew No one would expect it so he trained harder than anyone and came out on top,But now its different.Now everyone is expecting the worst and will train hard until they collapse making sure no one will have a huge advantage again like Gwin.And the one who trains their hardest and more,like Gwin done this year,Will be the one that comes out on top.

 this is either hart or minaars year they know how gwins going to do so now they'll improve
now go out and try to ride half as good as any world cup racer ...

 @downhill340, I know gwin came out and smashed everyone, but I just cant imagine that the other world class riders were sitting around taking it easy. This is the best of the best competing, can these vetrans who have been going for many years really step it up that much? If they were not already pushing it to there best then I doubt they would be competing at this level.

 Im not saying they took it easy,Im just saying they might have done the little bit extra of fitness training , strength training and proper diet and conditioning as the year before to improve , but Gwin decided to do a f*cking alot more.

I just think the others expect it now so Gwin might not be as dominant next year.
Or if Gwin does come out on top next year by smashing everybody I will accept that he has more skill on a bike.

 i think everyone should stop predicting and let it happen

 you should put that in the good story basket. notice all of the people who are debating/ predicting it winter where we all live stop trolling and go out and ride sense its summer for you.

 and its fooking freezing haha

 I guess Gwin got new Teeth!!!!!!!! that will definatley give him a lead amongst the other racers, now that he can weight the front end better!!!!!!!!haha

 @protour, I agree. Look what happened to Rach Atherton 2 seasons ago. She pushed her self too hard to get on the podium and had a ton of serious injuries. I hope nothing like this happens to any riders this season, but I agree Gwin did dominate this last season. Danny did awesome at World Champs but didn't win anything the rest of the season. No doubt he's an amazing rider, but he still doesn't have that consistency that everyone wants to have. That race reminded me of Hill in '07 '08, had unbelievably fast times, but never was always consistent with them. That is one thing that Gwin has over everyone else in my book. He has a stupid amount of training and dedication and consistency. I think its gonna be one hell of a season.

 Have you thought about running for President, you'd be the first to cut the shit and get to the point...... just my 2 cents!!!!

 gimme the nmber food is getting shit this last week here!

 Spoil sports...

 That Neko kid will kill it.

 yeah, i hope he does. He is a world class rider, he is still managing to go to college to further his education, and on top of all that, he manages to keep his head on straight. I have all the respect in the world for that kid, and I hope his future just gets brighter and brighter.

 Agree totally his times at Nationals prove he can beat Gwin. He'll be a dark horse at world cup which will benefit him

 They won't fall for it because they've got it and it stops them falling.

 The money they get for wearing them stops them from falling.

 yeah true, but associating yourself with a company that's been charged with fraud and promoting the product they had to retract claims about is just dumb.

 And those bracelets don't work at giving you better balance or anything else (Myles has a white one) but they do pay something if you are sponsored.

 Trek Subaru since last year

 They're gonna be so higgggh

 Nevermind, looks like she's off on her own team, T-Mo racing. I don't blame her, she's proved herself, time to have some fun in some other disciplines. Looks like she's still riding Trek's though!

 Pornomo?

 ^^^ F yeah!
