As I recall Maribor is a more challenging course technically (please correct me if I'm wrong) which may favour riders like Sam Hill and Gee Atherton. And Mick Hannah seems to be able to ride any course and let's not forget the amazing season Peaty is having. Who will take Maribor?

I think Sam Hill's due.

World Cup racing action in Slovenia. Was a greasy track too much for the top riders in the world?

I do not think the track was too much. Just the pro's trying to push it's limits.
Crazy race. Gee's crash… wow! Hill right there in his element. the syndicate still there. And Steve Smith. What can you say.
Just the best year of racing in a while.
Props to Barel, I didn't see that coming after SA.

Wow, great win for Barel with his knee strapped up like that.Good to see Leov in top five.

Anyone else think Hill is starting to sound like a whineing child when he dosn't win?
