Martin has only done 2/4 events and placed 4th and 9th in them, pretty good considering he’s had a more chill season.
Lets be honest - being a new parent is stressful and you want to be around to help too. Rude and Moir can train and race with that attachment. Not to mention COVID concerns.
I think Maes will be back in full form next year…if there is a next year.
Hill also had a year of and spent it with his family. I love the dude and he is a sick race and definitely has GOAT status multiple overalls in EWS, DH and multiple World Champs.
He’s allowed to have a crappy year, being at the pointy end of our sport is more then just skill, it’s a hell of a lot of conditioning and hard work.
