So with the first race this weekend I'm pretty excited. Going to take an Rdo Monday so I can stay up and have a few beers.

My predictions for the year are Sam Hill to be the rider to beat. If he has a good run this weekend and does not bin it I think he will do well. Bruni and brosnan will be big threats. Fearon will be a top ten regular. Ratboy a big threat also. Fairclough is an unknown but this years tracks could suit him. Gwinn and smith will be up there also. Gee will be top five at best

As far as I gather SC does not have team status for not following UCI rules about their jerseys not being identical in colour and design. I believe there is a write up on PB about it, if not quick google will explain it better, all in all I think the UCI should be a little more flexible

Well I'm not one to judge, nor do I know the exact ruling but in my eyes I kinda figure it's lame. Like come on one of the winningest teams, one of the most recognized teams, one of the crowd favourites in all of UCI Dh Racing doesn't have team status haha. I hope that Minnaar or Ratty win everything right to the end of seasoN just to give another jab to the UCI.

Yep. Really don't understand what is in the UCI decision-maker's mind. This sport is small-scaled enough and now they give us this. I think same riding suit colors for riders from one same team is acceptable enough.

Can't wait for the race!!! Gee and Gwin should put down some good times early on and then wait and see what the rest of the pack can do. Neko and Brendog in the top 10 quails!
