    Bucked at 35 MPH - wheeeee! Ski racers crash at 60mph in unpadded lycra suits with 6 ft. planks locked to their feet. Get up, shake it off, go ride boy!

    What happened to Gwin on the Time Training? Doesn't look good.

    GWin won this last year and crashed last race twice in qualies (he still won). Sunday will be good.

    It really doesn't matter for timed training, He could have stopped to look at the course.

    When it comes to Quali's then you'll see him do some work. That is when the pecking order is arranged.

    Try not to pay TOO much attention to Timed training. Some racers clearly don't do full runs at race speed.

    But to counter my point. If say, someone, like Danny Hart were to put the hurt on in Timed Training. You could use it as a very valuable indicator as to what is going to happen race day. Gotta root for the home town hero Gwinny, But I would like to see Danny win it too. Both are amazing riders!

    ...and Hart's the poster child for your fave brand of bike! That's why my money's on Richie Rude (OK, maybe not yet). Or, I could just claim any rider that Yeti found and developed (Gwin, Leov, Blenkinsop, Graves). Now that grouping would yield some good team results right there!

    Come to think of it, that might explain why every time I go by the Yeti tent, I hear Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" playing on an endless loop.

    LOL, true, but Danny is one hell of a rider. But hey, Yeti even said they are focused on developing riders. I don't think the budged is as big as trek's.
