i'm on the fence. would love to see the rat take the overall, but nothing would stoke me more than seeing hill pull out one of his legendary course smashing runs. lots of people could potentially take this one; it's going to be epic.

Claudio's runs are so wicked. It makes me laugh and gets me stoked to watch the actual race, all at the same time.

Totally agree.
1. Hill
2. Hart
3. Ratboy

That'd be fine by me.

I gotta pull for the Rat….he's totally exploded from his shell and put it all together this year, you can totally see how riding with Peaty and Greg has helped him learn how to throw down the power and precision, but he's kept that looseness and creativity that makes him really exciting to watch.

They should make it a three-way with Warner, Cunny and Claudio on all the RedBull broadcasts. Claudio was really good on the mic in Windham.

I'd like to see Bruni on the top spot finally, followed by Ratboy to take the series. Maybe get the Columbian Cartel, Marcel in there as well. Seems to be slightly off this season compared to last season, but laid down some solid CW runs, so I feel like he can keep the good riding going into this race. I can see Remi Thiron and Danny Hart on the podium as well

For broadcasting they need to axe Cunny and bring back Nigel Page to go along with Claudio and Robbie

Why slag free swag?:rolleyes:

ummm, as your doctor i recommend against riding with a scaphoid fracture.

I second that thought. Get Page back in the booth instead of Cunny, who's not that good. I guess Nigel is too busy with CRC/Nukeproof to commentate.

Yeah I figure his commitments to CRC keeps him outta the booth. Too bad for the sport and casual viewers.

I'd really like to see Jack Iles get a good finish in Jr.

Bit bummed Stevie Smith isn't in the line up this weekend. I'm betting he would do well on this course.

Love to see Hill win, with Ratboy taking the overall. I'd even be happy if Troy took the overall. Be nice to see Brendog step it up for a course he likes.

Definitely want Hill to win this one, just to show the last one wasn't the last one, and give us all a good reason to be amped over the off season to see what's possible for him next year. If either Ratboy or Troy took the overall I'd just be stoked to see a young gun take it.

peaty in practise. evidently there's some steep bits in there. is he back on 26's, or does he just make 650's look small?
