 Mitch seems to be a little too much in the shadow of the two "big dogs".
Some people may find that motivating, but to others that's discouraging

 He is going to become the next Brendog, heaps of talent, second page results.... awesome vids though!

 Am I the only one that is excited that Sam hill got 2nd? Want this guy to come back and dominate but great to see Troy finally get one under his belt. Well deserved !

 He is in the shadows because he hasn't got the results those guys have.
If he is finding it discouraging he needs to speak to who ever he works with mentally to get him in his own head space and in race zone. Most his results are in the 30-50th places still at world cups with a few in the top 20. His got the talent but maybe just not enough seasoning and hard training years under his belt?

Who knows but I hope to see him up there one day.

 I don't own a demo, but I'm glad this is happening so everyone can shut up about the Demo and Specialized ruining Gwin.
That's 2/3 for Specialized, 1/2 for the Demo. Looking pretty good if you ask me.
Now its time for Stevie Smith to come back and dominate a round or two.

 2/3 + 1/2 is not 1, your argument is invalid

 Why no mention of Mitch Ropelato, did he not qualify for finals
  • 4 1
 He did but he's said a couple times himself he rode below his normal self. Prolly didn't want to put his result in the video cause he wasn't stoked on it ya know?

 Is it just me or does Gwyns race jersey appear really really tight to anyone else? I'm not saying lycra-tight, yet...
  • 2 0
 it's not so much his normal jersey as it is the leader's jersey on top of his normal jersey.
  • 2 0
 He just trains so hard he's buff as hell hahaha
