Anyone up for some top three (well, top 2 for the girls) predictions for the pros - your choice:

Blokes
- Andreas Hestler
- Ben Cruz
- Fabien Barel
- Jérôme Clementz
- Marc Beaumont
- Mark Weir
- Nico Vouilloz
- Rowan Sorrell

Girls
- Tracy Moseley
- Anka Martin

I'll go with local knowledge and experience over youth and say:
1. Jérôme Clementz
2. Nicolas Vouilloz
3. Fabien Barel

and I'll go for Tracey to take the womens honours. Anyone else fancy a punt?

Seen as the route goes past Nico an Fabien's house's and Jérôme trains for 20hrs a week up there through the winter,they should be top 3.
rode there a few times my self an it's awsome riding but not for everyone, makes the mega avalanche look tame. 🙂

I would say fabien won't finish before nicolas, due to his injuries. So first nicolas, second fabien and third jerome, but you'll never know 😉

Good thing is, I'll be the very first one to know it, and that does kick asses...

3 frenchies got to be top 3. Hestler is an xc mincer 😛

My longshot is Mr Sorrell - he is pretty handy on a bike

I am going Weir. Fit, capable and determined. He has been waiting for this race all his life.

Should have put some money on that top three! 🙂 Costly last day for Nico though I got the impression he'll be back...

I think Ingrid should get a big shout out for coming 3rd woman and where was Rolf??? I thought he was coming back to ride it this year to have another stab at it?

I loved all the vids. Good job.
