    well having 2 riders on the podium isnt a bad start!! Gwin barely made the top 20!! :shock:

    Can see a few changes as yet again one of my racers wasn't even there :roll:

    Still can see Stevie and Bulldog bringing in some decent points, my bets for a three way overall title battle between them and Gee.

    Wow, not bad considering 1 rider got a DNF and another didn't race :roll:

    It won't last :lol:

    Bloody Gwin ! He mullered everything in sight last year and goes to bits as soon as I choose the barsteward. At least Rachel came up trumps for me...

    Where can I find out details about riders? 2 of mine got 0 points, making me think they didn't race :?
    It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

    I've swapped out dan stanbridge for nico vink. I'm sticking with Matt simmonds. Only bad luck meant he didn't place last week.

    Quali done in Val di Sol!! seems Gwin has gone to a large demo from a medium after Fort Bill, looks to be working! Stevie and Bulldog in the top 5 again, looking like a good weekend for my team!

    What the hell has happened to Mitch Ropelato?! I was sure he'd be top 20 for suree this season, but hasn't qualified! :shock: He may be changed, likewise Kintner, just not bringing in the big points. Will wait and see, but I can't see past Rach in the women's DH, she's on fire!

    Could potentially be another good week for team CWNT, Gee and Rach smashing the back out of it in qualifying. Neethling 15th, and Ben Reid in 52nd.

    Just hoping Gwin gets aids or something to slow him down.

    Rachel Atherton is a no brainer. While the top few men you can argue about and potentially lose points, Rach is just smashing the field.

    Was hoping Minnaar would do better, as I have had to dump him for Gee ;-).

    Yeah, a couple of the big guns from last week stacked it. I've done pretty well though, just a pity about Buchanan.

    Another solid result for my guys. 1st male, 1st female, and Ben Reid is doing well as one of my cheap picks finishing 41st. I predict big things for that boy!

    What happened to Needles though? He absolutely smashed qualifying (despite his MASSIVE OTB in qualifying) but somehow got a DNS.

    Needles smashed himself big time in practise this morning, suspected broken/fractured ribs, they interviewed him before the start and he wanted to have a go but the team stopped him. Apparently it was a huge crash, lucky to walk away from it!

    Dammit.

    However, I just had a second look at the results, and spotted my $75k rank outsider pick of Guillaume CAUVIN finished 20th!!!!

    If Needles had managed to not break himself this morning, reckon I'd be up near the top of the overall standings after this round.

    Not too bad for me. Manon let me down though only 7th :lol:

    Me too on Manon, but I'm sticking with her (for now)

    Brook looked so fast. I reckon he would have won it if he hadn't crashed. You could kind of see the crash coming though, he was totally on the edge.

    Results wise, one win, one seventh, then minors for Brook and Kurtz

    Brook woulda won for sure if he'd have stayed on the bike, he'll take a win this year for sure. Healing vibes to Taylor Vernon, he had a huge stack in the juniors, there's a video on pinkbike, but it's not for the faint hearted, his screams sent shivers down my spine, so Christ knows how his back feels! :shock: awful, awful crash and thankfully afaik he's ok!
