Sorry I haven't posted in an age and the old DH section is gone (or have I missed it) Hope this is in the right section - anyway.
It's the Worlds this weekend, awesome. I was just checking over the offical UCI entry list.

Notice Peaty isn't on the list, however he IS going, says so on his twitter account, (although doesn't mention racing in fairness). Also PInkbike were doing a bit about how me might retire this year (they say that every year) and this will be his final Worlds (maybe).
Brendon Fairclough is on the list (admittedly with a 'X' for replacement next to it) although, his twitter says he's not going because he didn't make the cut.
Also it shows Sam Dale is on the list, despite being ranked 50th, to Brendon's 27th, and 27th isn't really a fair representation of his ability IMHO anyway, he's just not had a great first year on Scott.
So is Peaty racing?

Fairclough is injured apparently, hence why he is down as replacement, not sure he is fit to race but is on stand by if needed. Peaty will be racing for sure.0

Why isn't Hart racing??0

Peaty's definitely in it. Dirt just posted pics of him in full Union Jack outfit and bike. Looked surprisingly tasteful :shock:0

Yeah, Hart is out but unfortunately nobody else gets to take his place- it's the champion's place rather than a national place.Uncompromising extremist0

Peat lives for downhill, and is still fast, so I dont see him retiring anytime soon.0

I noticed Peaty saying on Twitter that he was number 135 because British cycling forgot to enter him!0
