 I love the fact that riders are using different types of bikes and wheel sizes. I think it really spices things up.
  • 5 2
 So true!!!
  • 9 2
 True... 26 has nothing to lose and it would be quite funny if 605B's bubble burst over the course of the season (at least for DH). Really funny to hear Claudio rip on Mitch for the 29er during his course preview Smile

 I would love to see minnar take the win on a 26 inch dh bike just to put an end to all this BS.
  • 12 4
 Yes, I would also like to see a podium full of 26" Smile

 Cant wait for Sam to podium and his ex team mate gwin to be there right beside him.

 I think it was Gee at Rd 1 of BDS who said he aint going back to a 26" wheel....... Whether you like it or not its here to stay people, so move on!!

 Just cause 650b is there it doesnt mean you have to use it - fact is theyre just using what they can to win, like brendog said there was a time when they were wishing for 9" of travel, now its bigger wheels and less travel, but theres a much broader range of tracks on this years circuit, something to test everyone. Wait for Windham, the real test will be there for the big wheels, tight, technical and short. If youre happy on 26" stick with it, if you wanna try 650b then go nuts.

 Ha...and gee also finished 8th at the bds and qualified 18th yesterday...lol.....say what????!!!!!
So i wouldnt be to quick say that. Plus this track is different, its pedally, hence why guys are running lighter and bigger wheeled bikes. Theres a 40 second pedal section

 Yes, it's going to be a great season for DH. I hope we get to see Gee have another baby tantrum over Stevie Smith!!!
  • 4 2
 well gee doesn't have much to worry about right now smith isn't even riding in the first two races due to injury.

 "Everyones tryin to look for a line but there isnt one anyway, you just gotta ride it." Haha. Good job whoever built the rock garden.

 PMB is certainly becoming a "proper" DH track these days! Maybe not old-school, straight line down a mountainside, but between the new rock gardens with no preferred line, some of the highest top speeds of the entire UCI circuit, and plenty of gratuitous airtime, the racers look to be liking it. +100 to the builders.

 I was expecting Aaron to come back big, but Gee in 15th place and Manon Carpenter 9sec+ this was not my vision :o
I thing it will be an exiting world cup to watch

 Gee crashed and Rachel is sick. Nonetheless it's sick for both to be at the top for quails
  • 2 0
 Wow that's nice to know thank's bro for the info. It's not nice that rachel is sick, or that Gee crashed, it's nice because there is a good reason, I hope rachel will feel better tomorrow and that gee will stay on his bike Smile
  • 2 0
 Yeah I agree, especially cause Manon was still 9 seconds up, which is typically how much Rachel is up by. So Rachel might have some hardcore competition for once lol

 Whenever I watch WC runs I can't help thinking that the GT under Gee and the various V-10's just look so smooth and dialled where others looked slightly short and awkward... of course the rider on top also helps Wink

 Por que se ven muchos corredores con horquilla de una Platina a que se debe? si alguien me puede explicar

For many runners with a fork to Platina are owed? if someone can explain me

 Los dos años anteriores la pista no era tan técnica, no había tanta piedra en la pista y no consideraban necesario una bici de DH propiamente, incluso se llegaron a quejar de que había mucho tramo de pedaleo. Por esas razones algunos usan bicis de Enduro y otros de DH.

 Anyone know what knee brace Greg M is using? Can't believe he's back on pace so soon after busting his ACL - the man's a machine!

 Nothing beats launching an entire rock garden. By the way that big rock garden would give Maribor a run for its money
