DH WORLD CUP 2015 - follow the season here with predictions, laments and discussion!

[ajay]

Yeah word has it that she was looking reasonably quick, but not up to speed with the usual suspects, nor hitting all the big lines...

I never really payed much attention to her, but it's kinda cool having someone from the previous generation of racers throw down with the current crop, see how much difference 10 years makes.

 

[heavyp]

I know Sam and Aaron are quiet guys and I guess thats why when I saw this photo I actually said WOW.
I didn't think id ever see them together like this for some reason I hope they have massive respect for each other!

Legends!

 

[speedyjonzalas]

Anyone got any knowledge on the apparent fighting thats been going on?

I cant decide if its all nonsense or not.

Through various comments it seems either Ratboy or Dale got in a tiff with Atherton, and possibly Gwin vs Atherton recently as well?

I would have given it no thought but both Claudio and Wyn have made comments about it all - though possibly just to stir the net.

 

[Klips]

It featured on pinkbike too. In this day and age, the likelihood of a trackside altercation occurring with the rat pulling out his pork sword yet there being absolutely no documented evidence seems unlikely.

 

[indica]

Quallies are up.
Looks like Rock Jesus for the win.

 

[shake_rattle_and_ roll]

Yep. Surprising enough that he's put 2.2 into the rest of the field but there's also a pretty wide spread in the top 20 riders too.

 

[B Rabbit]

Yeah, I couldn't figure out if it was pinkbike taking the piss or it actually happened.

 

[johnny]

Track looks like it could use a light raining overnight.

Really fun ooking track and the camera coverage of the quals looks tops as well.

 

[shake_rattle_and_ roll]

7hrs til kick off. Stocked up on supplies for the morning- now to find somewhere to hide them so the better half doesn't swipe them on me.

 

[cjaty]

I can't remember exactly why I despised that idiot during the Global days but seeing her appear again at a world cup reminded me that she's a fucking wanker. The sport is better off without that trashbag getting press. She'd come last in any race but sadly, she'll get press just for being an annoying pullthrough.

Really hope she hasn't taken Someone's spot who actually deserves it

Not fighting this, but wouldn't the times determine who deserves a spot? Bring back Warner getting pissed and more loose units to my 4:30am television

Agreed, but I'm not sure any womens WC has ever been "full".:heh:

[hazza6542]

Yeow womens is on beer is cold good night ahead

 

[ajay]

Well... Rachel sure showed em whats up! :crazy:

Pretty cruddy presentation though, no dais, just stand in the dirt?

 

[hazza6542]

Rachel is dominating,

fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkk sam you poor bastard

 

[shake_rattle_and_ roll]

Rad to see Steve Smith back up to speed!

 

[ajay]

Looks like Troy crashed... but still into 5th!? Animal.

 

[shake_rattle_and_ roll]

Yep, TB OTB.

God dammit, the Gods are cruel on Loic- was wrapped that he was set to take down Vanilla Greg.
