 strait would have been a fair bit lower down if it didn't start raining when he finished his run- is part of racing but still....a bit lucky proper good race even so

 Hill doesn't have the leaders jersey to whoever said that, peaty has it! and rightly so - hill is 4th with Hannah in 2nd

 thats an awsome top 20 right there

 Kyle Strait! yeah! I think he suprised everyone with that result. and go peaty! finally got it.
  • 7 3
 I think Kyle got lucky with the weather changing right after his run, but it was a good run by him. So stoked for Peaty tho, its been a while since he was on top of the podium.
  • 3 0
 He may have gotten a tad lucky, but still. Its good to see all of his hard work is paying off, who knows he might even crack a top 10 this year, that would be awsome.
  • 2 0
 It was a good run but the rain I think helped the top guys. From what I saw in the earlier runs some of the guys were having some difficulties hooking up in certain sections. We'll see if Kyle is really on it next race.
  • 2 1
 Yeah it's sick to see an American near the top ten, and 2 in the top 15. It would be dialed to see Strait get back into more racing.

 there is a video on vimeo, where he says he is getting back into it

 i agree but when did strait go downhill?
  • 0 1
 red bull made him do some last year 'cause he was partying too much, but he seems to have stuck at it
  • 1 0
 Red Bull didn't make him do the races. He wanted to. If they wanted him to race he'd still be sponsored by Red Bull.
  • 2 0
 he raced for a while, 05 and 06 i think... and some others every now and then but now hes back, nice!

 Yeeah go Peaty! Been a while since he graced the top step, hopefully we'll see him up there a few more times this year (and maybe one special time in September, but that would be speculating)

 One Canadian in the top 20? Can anybody explain that to me?
  • 2 0
 Why yes I can...unfortunately it's because the Brits and Aussies are better.

 Haha, hell yeah!

 Here in Canada the bikers take partying a bit too seriously. We have some of the best mountains in the world but for some reason we only have 1 decent racer. Eventually you may see a Canadian on top, but then again Australia and GB are really the power houses in the sport.
