Danny's dad must've been having a Hart attack watching him come down. Long overdue for his first win [HTML_REMOVED] gets it!
Rob Warner; easy on the hair dye, brah!

Hahaha Warner with the hair and beard dye job, it looks hilarious.

Great race, it was awesome to see Hart finally pull one out. Also Finn Iles with 3 junior wins so far this season out of 4 races entered in his first junior year.

I'm liking the custom paint jobs and kits Specialized and the Syndicate are doing… always fun to drool over nice gear.

Stoked for Danny, winning two in a row. Incredible run from Bruni since it was his first race back from injury.

Loic is in 9th overall now. His performance cost Troy some points.

Ratboy seems to have fallen way off pace. Just from what I've seen of him on social media etc he's definatley not goofing around as much anymore. I'm willing to bet he knows this is his last season with SC with Peaty retired and his contract coming to an end.

Get him on a GT or Saracen with those other goobers. Also I really hope a factory team picks up Miranda Miller for 2017!

That was an entertaining race. Finn is close to locking down junior overall in his first sesaon, Rachel nearing a perfect season with another ridiculous margin and Bruni on the comeback. Gwin surely has the overall and will be gunning for world champs too, that's going to be an exciting race with him vs. Bruni back on pace.

Luca Shaw on Syndicate next year to replace Peaty? Impressive riding from the young guy. Not sure what's up with Bryceland, with his personality he doesn't seem like the kind of guy that can be successful from living in the gym and training harder, just needs to find the same mentality he had in 2014. Although I agree, doing fast plants and jibbing in the woods is not helpful for WCDH.

Bulldog is at least posting some ok results for GT. Wyn and Sam Dale are always hurt or finishing bottom 50.

If you go to Wyn's twitter/instagram page, there is footage of his bad crash this past weekend at MSA. At least with Wyn, there is advertising for GT from his track walk [HTML_REMOVED] Wheelie Wednesdays features.

Yeah he's a good guy to have for brand recognition and I will give him props as he took extra time coming back from a concussion earlier in the season and has been vocal about it on social media which is a good thing. I enjoy the WynTV banter too.

Is it just me or are WC races getting more repetitive/predictable/routine. I felt like in prior years there was like 1 of 10 guys who could potentially win any given race, whereas this year it always seems like only the last 3 guys down the hill are competitive. Does anyone else feel the same?

Good point… but I actually only started following in 2013 to be fair. I don't know I just felt that in other years all the times seemed to be a little bit tighter. This year a lot of the classic top guys (Gee Atherton, Josh Bryceland, etc.) don't seem to be doing as well. Also missing out on the excitement of cheering for Steve Smith (RIP).

speaking of Bryceland what's happened to him this year? i guess it's very hard to stay near the top. i have little sense from the media what's going on with him. did he have injuries or is he just not 'feeling it' or whatnot. i don't follow it closely but when a character like him isn't in the limelight and isn't competitive it's obvious. anyone have insight?
