 Maybe Graves should have raced this as well, just for something else to destroy
  • 12 0
 He certainly destroyed the elite xc field - even on broken forks...
  • 4 0
 as scruzman says, graves won the elite xc race with the final lap or so with rigid forks. the man's a beast.
  • 5 0
 he went from lap 3 of 7 to the finish with the rigid forks, solid effort haha
  • 5 0
 Graves probably would have won it on his 29" XCO Hardtail, he was just being nice and didn't want to put the other guys through that

 No Sam Hill, or the Hannahs?
  • 16 0
 Sam had knee surgery right after the end of the wc season, not sure about the hannahs.
  • 24 0
 But Hill's son is already doing good in the u19 category!
(... Just kidding)
  • 6 0
 I can hardly wait for Sik Mik's kids to go up against Sam's in the future
  • 2 0
 Sam's too busy teaching Bam. He's the future of MTB.

 Hannah's were in their home state of Queensland doing other stuff I believe
  • 2 0
 Hannah's (or at least Tracy) are over in Queenstown for this part of the off season.

 Shit. It was Queenstown that I read! Close enough!
  • 2 0
 Tracey is in Queenstown and Mick was out filming at the Cairns world cup track on Sunday.

 Well i guess we know who's going to win the Cairns World Cup then.

 i miss kovarik ! why troy without sponsors? is there no shop with puky bikes or so? just kidding...but why no sponsors?
  • 3 0
 he is sponsored they just didnt write it for some reason
  • 2 0
 sponsored by specialized factory. not S Australia.
  • 2 0
 Possibly something similar to 2012-2013 where they stopped being monster-energy specialised and some of the team's sponsors were changing but hadn't been announced yet.

 The Heat Connor was referring to for anyone interested, day one of practice was off due to the temp reaching 47 (116.6F), day two was 39 (102.2) with only riders and Marshall's allowed on track, luckily the weekend dropped down to about 28 (82.4).

 Anyone who hasn't watched the Kona video of the race, crimmins 1st in U19 lost his chain about half way down, still only 4 sec off first place elite.....so keen to see this kid at the worldcups this season.

 Was there an earthquake or is that just seriously bassy wind around 50 seconds?
  • 1 0
 there was an earthquake here about 2 weeks ago...but that is just a northerly blowing up the gully.
  • 1 0
 Really!? Was it bad? I watched this again on my ipod and it sounds normal, I had it plugged into a big subwoofer the first time and got some ridiculous bass out of it

 crazy hot up (down?) here last week. Cooled down a bit for XCO and DH race days, but it was so hot, no spectators were allowed in the bike park due to the bushfire risk. Unfortunately some nutjobs and lightning strikes have caused some pretty bad fires here, putting lots of homes at risk.

 What was the rider start interval? Getting bunched up like that... Well, makes for some great racing actually.

 Are there any Australian built mountain bikes?
  • 2 0
 BILT and Deubel are the only two I'm aware of.
  • 2 0
 Yep the 2up. Versatile all mountain frame that can be built up as a burly xc bike or even a light weight gravity machine
