Yeah I meant in comparison to these pictures.
Nothing young Sambo can't make short work of.I like how they have painted all the roots in that wooded section. It's not like the roots arnt slippery enough. Little bit of moisture on those and it'll be a giant slip 'n' slide.
Well he holds a good record there...

I'd be very surprised if Sam doesn't win here. I think last year the pressure of the overall got to him. He's had some of his biggest margin victories here in the past - just hope he finds that sweet spot between being a bit too cautious (Bromont) and going too hard (Andorra).
I have to say that if doesn't win here but wins the overall, I kind of think the points system needs to be looked at. Minaar has had a consistent year (except for Mont Saint Anne) and won three World Cups. Wouldn't seem fair to win that many races but lose the overall if Sam only wins one (that said, I'm hoping Sam smokes everyone).
Reckon Peaty will do well. Historically it's not a great track for him but he'll just be stoked to be finally riding in the rainbows and will probably be nice and relaxed.

Your logic is flawed there, obviously Sam would be far more consistent if he won the overall with only winning one race whereas if Greg had won three...
And to my knowledge the WC is all about consistency...

mate I don't disagree, but I reckon to date, Minaar has had a better, more consistent year. They've both had a 'bin' round as has Peaty and Atherton, but I reckon Minaar has combined consistency with a lot of wins.

You're also ignoring the qualifying points.

Ah, yeah good point.
Mate I'm definitely behind Sam, although I have to say that Peaty is my all-time favourite rider. Don't worry, young Sammy is getting plenty of support and I fully expect to see him atop the podium this weekend.
