im a big sam hill fan as well and i think he is one of the most talented riders on technical stuff. all i wanna know is did he give it his all? did he put enough work into it to win or did he just not want to try so much because he doesn't like the track?
Stromlo is a power track, the riders that do best on it are all the bigger riders that have more strength than Sam like Rennie, Peat, Kovarik, Atherton etc. beccause it's so pedally.
