Ita's timing is thenthathionally bad
...................I reckon the pending cyclone will have something to do with that. It's a bit of a worry actually, cyclones don't tend to go by without harming anything. Here's hoping it weakens before it hits the shore and keeps the area safe. I'd hate to see the event called off and more so, to see people's homes damaged.
I don't see this one slowing down in a hurry. Fortunately it looks like it will cross land in a pretty isolated area before heading south, still with a fair kick in the tail. For the event, we are a lucky it is coming now and not next week. At least on the current modelling venue and track prep can continue by Monday or Tuesday of next week ready for the arrival of teams after Easter. Some of the marquees that have already gone up are coming back down today / tomorrow.
Lets hope for those up there that the damage is minimal.

Hopefully Ita doesn't.
Looks to be a good one, hopefully it doesn't swing too far south beofre it crosses.
I found out what track pietermartizburg reminds me of
Willingen

jumps, not much downhill.
SA is the same its pedaling, jumps and a little bit of downhill. Its the modern updated version but its still that track that shouldn't be there and is not really worthy of wc races.

Yep, good luck and be safe up there. 170k winds in Cairns is not going to be kind to any trail. Hope it turns out better than predicted:encouragement: for everyone and everywhere as well as every trail.

Great, cheers dude!
Why choose a wheels size?
We might as well put restrictions on bar width too than. wheel size is just another option for riders. if it is faster it will naturally over take, if it is not well we will have both options available. There is the argument though for those riders who are not high enough to warrant a team creating a custom frame, if they only have 26 available it is unfair if the larger size is the 'choice' for that track and rider.
Manufacturers are going 650b anyway so no doubt we will soon have bike that are either 650b or both 26 and 650b compatible.
