The Sanitised Specialized PR version
Not sorted on the bike, didn't like the track, not ready, everyone else was on their game.
Gee fastest in qualification at Val di Sole, Gwin second.

Then Stevie, Brook, Sam and Danny.
This could be even better than last weekend's race.
Live now...

I knew last week was too good to be true. My top 3 all went down today.
Good stuff from the Athertons , at least ONE of my team got a podium again .Cheers Stevie!
Well I am pretty happy I had both the Atherton's in my team for both races.
wow, I'm second!
Well done being first of the losers 😉
Worst week ever.
The P45s are gonna be flying thick and fast before Vallnord.
Who's got Sam Hill in their team then?
He just went quickest in qualifying. Then Greg, then Gee.
Well don't I look stupid swapping out Hill for McDonald after round 2 and then missing McDonald's injury in the break. Not too bad over all though. Villegas earned his keep this week and Carpenter was strong, as usual.
I had a "steady" scoring round from all my riders, not earth shattering, but I am now a few places further up the league than I was, I'm tempted to leave the team as is for MSA, especially as I've got Stevie Smith and I reckon he'll pull out all the stops for his home round, and he's the 2nd placed man overall after Gee, I may even leave the team for the World Champs...
I notice they've changed the format a tad from the last couple of years where you nominated one rider who's score would be doubled at the World champs any more, I quite liked that as it tended to mix the table up a little, especially if there were some unexpected results, now it's just another round, I think the top of the tables will probably stay more or less as they are now...
How many people have ditched Gwin by now?
I'd love to see Hill (not in my fantasy team) clamber up a couple of places into the top 3 by the end of the season (He's curently holding 5th and he's which is where he finished last season) and leave Gwin (who displaced him from Specialized) floundering in 11th... That'd learn the buggers!!!
Another poor week for me. My swapping Danny Hart for Steve Smith wasn't a [i]bad[/i] move I guess, but I only found out Brook was hurt too late.
Tempting to sub Hill in, as I'm rooting for him anyway and he's won at MSA before. Hmmm.
I imagine with MSA being a bit less technical that we'll see a more "normal" podium. There's just so many strong contenders now though. It's bloody brilliant.
Stevie's looking good in timed practice...

Feels like its wide open this round.
Don't forget to tweak your teams before the big finale this weekend.
I've managed to creep back up to 4th from a mid-table start, using my astounding tactical nous - so there's still all to play for.
Just joined! After an awesome first round I tailed off a bit, not least because I keep forgetting to change my team...
Just noticed the STW league is top of the Private Leagues league for the Enduro, but 12 for the DH. Must try harder next year 😛
I'm fourth or fifth overall in the Dirt Fantasy Enduro - tantalisingly close to winning a new Pike!
I think the league championship is cumulative points, not averaged against number of teams. So the bigger leagues have an instant advantage.
So, how did everyone do? I came in 335th overall and 5th in the STW league 😀
265th overall, 4th in stw league.
But I won my mates' league at least.
Came second in STW league! What do I win?
16th in the stw league
