To start things off check out the sextet of vids I've just posted. Training, interviews and even a Fabien Barel update. Check that here...

Then this weekend you'll be able to soak it all in live on nsmb right here...

Now who's got a prediction? I'm feeling like Gee might just take it in Champery. Not a big risk I know. Any dissenting opinions?

Minnarre seems to be in a zone so I will go with that.
So tough to pick as this course suits alot of riders.
Atherton, Blinky, Gwin.
Should be a good race

course seems way easier and faster this time around. timed practice is almost 30 seconds faster than sam hill's qualifier last time, when he was 14 seconds faster than the next fastest qualifier. Unless it rains, this doesn't have the gnar factor it used to. It's still going to be amazing to watch, and I think it's going to be tight between gee atherton and fairclough. hopefully blenky can hold one together as well.

"Come race time I"m gonna be flat landing all of that shit!" :lol: I'm gonna root for Brendan but wouldn't be surprised if Blenky or Minnarr took it.

nobody is this dumb.

If Brendan doesn't crash it he'll smash it !

I wonder what Gee drinks? If I was betting on Peaty it would be Stellas. Let's say something local like Shaftebury.

And even if he does crash it'll be the most stylish crash ever

you'd be doing them a favour if you smuggle some homegrown craft brew down to c/r. great place, but they really need to be introduced to the noble hop. i seriously contemplated the viability of not coming home [HTML_REMOVED] setting up a nanobrewery on the beach. granted, the imperial goes down easy on those 45d days…
