So yes, I'm doing exactly the same title as Fort Bill's but with Maribor Razz


4X tomorrow should be awesome, 15.45 BST on Freecaster, be online!

Jared G says he's giving the DH a miss so he's not tired from Q'ing for the 4X, said he wants to wrap up the series haha.

One thing that struck me after watching the Dirt TV vid from the pits today is everybody is saying it's really hot and fast, now that is what a WC should be like, nearly ever race form the States I've ever watch it's been sunny, hot, fast and dusty. Just something to think about.

Hopefully the 4x will be more entertaining than in fort william. but sounds like it could be a bit of a shocker of a weekend if it pisses it down. Also, fast shouldn't be what all world cups are about. Sure it's good having one real quick track like maribor on the calender but technical ability is a big factor in downhill. In the states they have fast tracks but no title challengers as they never get to hone their technical skills unlike people like gee and sam that grow up riding technical trails on small hills. If you want to go watch fast bikes going in straight lines watch motocross.
