It'll be cool to see Tom Isted in there.

He was an absolute legend at Darkfest!

Glad that Gee isn't in it this time. Don't think I could take the stress!

Would always love to see Bren in there. Mainly for the pre event videos with Ollie and Deaks.

There's something really great about UK riders bringing a touch of Blighty to what is such a 'MERCAN event.

Maybe Ollie and Deaks can do the behind the scenes for Tom Isted.

 

Good luck Tom

Hasn't he (twice) claimed he is retiring from rampage due to not getting a good score?

(a justified complaint especially last year but I just get annoyed at the click-farming)

He was on Andrew Neethlings podcast recently and talked about it. As he's retired from DH and got a guaranteed entry it seemed like it was a good thing to do to give his sponsors value and generate plenty of youtube content.

The whole format feels so stale now, how much longer can RB continue trotting this out year after year ?

I'd love to see Gee land his drop.  Maybe someone else will get the nod to put it in a line / take on Gees line?

Does seem to be not enough new talent though.

Not sure it's the format specifically but the same riders on the same terrain isn't setting the world on fire, trying to generate interest with old/established riders on new bikes feels like it's not got much to say.
