Richie Rude is maybe the biggest unknown in this weekends race. His Junior DH World Champion stripes make it clear that he has the raw pace, and he's certainly not lacking strength. Yet he's a monster among men and many of the riders who have crossed to enduro, like Graves and Barel, have had to shed a lot of their weight to gain endurance for the long stages. So the question is whether his muscularity will be a help or a hinderance come race day?
