NOt sure, but I think they are in a super inconvenient location from what I remember from last year.

yeh there in the middle of the track so it makes it incovenient for lifts and stuff like that. also there's less spectators because they usually gather at the finish area.

Comparing the helmets for MTB racers and moto-X racers, which one is safest and more durable? My guess is Moto-X, right!?! Then The running speed, which one is faster? Moto-X, right? But when doing drops, I think they both racers can do the same with their bikes respectively, from 10' to 30' or even 50' a reliable MTB DH frame can achieve that task I believe. Then how come a DH helmet can cost more than what Moto-X racers usually wear? I have no idea. Just because the weight is significantly lower? But then it's not as safe as Moto-X's. Especially when doing DH, do you really notice about the weight for less than 3 or 4 minutes run?

Couldn't agree more. Love Peaty, but that track at La Bresse suited him to a tee. This is more more suited to Sam's style, but Gee took it last year, so who knows.

Wait george-93 you are trying to say that sam hill wins things because of stupid stuff? Not that he's one of the best riders out there today? Yet you have Sam Hill as your personal POD? Think you need to be more intelligent in your postings

melonhead1145 (May 16, 2009 at 3:13)

Sam Hill's amazing but Peaty is better, as Cedric Gracia said one "Peaty doesn't get older, he just gets faster"

timlake (May 16, 2009 at 4:43)

I can't really see how you can say that Peaty is better than Sam. Sam's a much better all round rider. Also, NorCalNomad, I don't think he's saying Sam win's because of stupid stuff. I think he's saying that for some stupid reason, HE thinks Sam will win, kinda of an English thing to say...
