Predictions, gang? As usual, I get it wrong every tiime but I note VDS continues to be Loic's least favourite track & I would love to see Jess Blewitt translate her quali & semis form to a podium.
Not been to Les Gets for the dh but I used to do ski seasons in the alps. My view, you'll love it. Beautiful surroundings, good food & drink, everything is really expensive & the locals are doing you a favour taking your money! You'll have a ball.
He's not doing great is he? I held out high hopes for him over the past couple of seasons but he caught Covid last year i think & hasn't really got back to his best since. IIRC he also looped out off camera at Leogang last year trying to manual on the motorway.
I mentioned Dialled a while back. Pity it's gone, it was a very enjoyable strand of race weeks with a cast of likeable characters, not least Shaffer & Jake. At a guess, Fox decided they didn't need the cost of it nor the marketing benefit. shame though, I could do with more of Jordi's world...
Interesting thing about what you say on Ethan. We all have our favourites but I can't ever remember seeing a race & thinking I wish someone else had won. Love that about the racing, they're pretty much all deserving & I'm usually pleased for whoever wins when you take into account the risks...
Early thoughts on the developing season, Bruni is still the danger man, Ronan Dunne is on fire & will be amongst it all season. Special big ups to Adam Brayton, mid pack fodder at best but put down a heater at Hardline & gapped the top section which NO ONE else managed, love me a secret line...
Got close up to a Wyte e lite yesterday. It was the 10k build but a very nice thing as it should be. Also bumped into Daryl Brown but that's another story.
Bosch are generally highly rated for user experience, Shimano have good reasons to avoid & Brose ties you to Spesh. No motors are trouble free, some are easier to own than others & manufacturers are never telling you the faliure rate, hence Bosch get well repped.
