I'm sure they'll confirm, but I'm fairly sure they've been to all the World Cups this year.  Branching out.

They were sleeping in a Canadian airport last time I heard...

it is that track for worlds, oh dear indeed. Was there even 80 riders in EM?



Considering it was mega pedally, i'm surpised rennie did so well, he did look like he was dying to sit down at the end though.


It would have been a syndicate 123 if peaty hadn't been blown off that last jump, he would probably be 2nd as his split was the same as rennies and i reckon he will have out-pedalled the austrailian.

A similar thing happened at the German round at Willingen a few years ago, Hill didn't get on with the course, his time reflected that.

so basically if he's good on the track then he's really good.

but if he's not that good, then he's pretty crap (for him)  Cheesy
