Maribor World Cup

[Kingswood]

I've been waiting for this week for a long time.

So Barel is out which is a major bummer, no news about Hill's recovery, Syndicate boys should be on carbon bikes with air shocks.

I am hoping Hill comes through with the win, and Kovarik is on the podium. Wouldn't be surprised if Gwin has a scorcher too.

Freecaster = http://freecaster.tv/live/mtb/1011046/uci-mtb-world-cup-dhi-1-maribor

I just paid for the broadcast with Paypal, all pretty simple and quick, cost me about $2.60 for the live feed and the replays later. Pretty sweet deal I think.
By the countdown on Freecaster it looks like things will kick in about 7pm Sunday night.


Some track photo's from Vital here:

and Shaun (mechanic) from ForTheRiders in Briso makes an appearance:

looks steep!

OMG that woods section looks bloody awesome. Just paid for the paycaster fee. It's seriously so little money, I can't believe anyone would ever have any complaints.

 

[Adrian]

I'll complain if it performs the same as when it was free.....

That said, can't wait. So much potential controversy and the season hasn't even started yet.

Thanks

[flamshmizer]

Not a good shot to be able to tell and with the shock not in the frame looks a little out of shape. Having said that Sven Martin said on vitalmtb that it's def not carbon.

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

 

[Nick53]

Looks like a hybrid of allu and carbon. You can see welds on it around the bottom bracket.

Looks like a completely redisgned bike actually. The rear linkage looks a lot slimmer and the way the shock is mounted looks different from the usual.
