2018 World Cup discussion

Or what Loris pulled off

Will have to re-look at a GoPro run of that section. I thought it was the man made bike park part. Hard to recall what could have gained or lost so much time in one small section. Either way Loris nailed it. Great racing.

Was another great race, just watched replay.

Don't usually watch too much XC but Gunn-Rita Dahle just won her 30th World Cup race and she is a month older than me, both inspiring and depressing.

If it's a good course somke XC races can be enjoyable to watch.

For example, the Paris Roubaix was pretty good last night

And some could be good fun to race too, the BC bike race would be stupid amounts of fun.

Awesome race. Loved it

So good to see Vergier get one under his belt, he was totally pinned in that run. Could it be the stepping stone into more wins and riding with some stripes even?

I reckon so. Seal is broken. Same with Shaw once he nails a race run. Peirron is a new man with a bit of confidence in the tank.
Along with Greenwood, there’s going to be some fantastic new names genuinely pushing for every podium in the coming years.

Greenland perhaps?

Who the fuck is Greenwood?

Greenland when he has a boner....

Doh. WTF autocorrect? What is a greenwood even? Greenhouse maybe....

Greenland is definitely one to watch, although his riding style gives me a hunch that he's going to be seeing a fair amount of injury recovery time in his career.

I love watching him for this reason. Like Hart when he’s pinning it. I think it’s just his style, and aside from a small near miss on the weekend, looks in control of the chaos.
Finn is knocking on the door too. Juniors success doesn’t always transfer to elite success, but he’s clearly got an axe to grind and looking fast.

Finn was amazing. He was in the hot seat for what, an hour? And a fifth place at a World Cup in his first year racing Elite Men is not too shabby at all!

 

[moorey]

Absolutely. I reckon he has the temperament to go all the way, based on what I’ve seen of him off the bike.

 

[Spike-X]

I've only seen the one interview on the RedBullTV telecast, but he came across like an absolute professional.

Easily the best team vids around:

You aren’t biased at all, of course though

It’s Greg’s hair.
