Apparently they were running so hot at the bottom of a run that the stickers had blistered....

This is an awesome bike, i sore it when i did a race at Innerliethen and he was there, it weighs about 42lbs (they weighed it at the race), also Sharkyboy, its not a Commencal animal its just the 2009 Commencal supreme DH prototype, Animal are just the Atherton teams sponsors.
Also the 40s are custom painted white and have custom stansions (nickel plated i think) but the 2009 40s will all be white instead of the usual grey.
