I am really getting sick of hearing about how he's the second coming. He won ONE RACE. Yeah it was a great run but there have been people in every other sport who have had one good round or one good race or one good game and have done nothing beyond that. I'm not saying that this is Danny Hart but i still think he has a long way to go before he it's a shoe in that he's on the podium every race.

Maybe you're just jelly because he stole the limelight from the first yank to win a world cup in over a decade....

Not jealous, but yeah I do think Gwin is lightyears ahead of Hart. And I'm not saying that as an American, I'm saying that as a rider of Trek and as a fan. He's the best, no doubt.

I think it'll be really interesting to see if the pressure breaks Gwin next season, Gee did the same thing a while back but he cracked the season after.

Gwin reminds me of Hill when he started, he'd just go flat out and either smoke it or stack.

Sam did the same thing as Danny in 2010, weak season, but won the World champion. The weather was also the same.

I don't think Sam Hill will make much noise this season, and only in part because of him. With all these carbon fiber bikes coming out, I just don't know if he'll be able to keep up on the demo...

Specialized will release a S-works demo in carbon for the pro riders.
But it wont matter, Sam is to chubby for racing Razz

Alot of the top riders aren't on the podium every race. But in terms of riding Hart has showed a great deal of skill, did you see the run at Fort Bill that was FAST! In Champery he won by 11 seconds while throwing a massive whip at the end all at 20 years old, it's pretty impressive.

I think Danny will be on the podium next season, but the problem with youngGUNS is experience.
They tend to crash.....
Everyone can do 1 insane good run, but delivering race after race is the hard part. So im very impressed by Minaard and Gwin last season.
