redrook (Sep 17, 2009 at 15:18)

Practice is completely different from racing, Brendan has never beat Sam, and I don't think he'll win this one.

jlspecialized (Sep 17, 2009 at 15:26)

Yeah, But locking to the video Brendan looks the most fastest today definitely. Even that, in the race brendam could brake a little more to hill overtake him, and win the world cup!

Look for Ben Reid to do well here too.

These are the standings i found.. they might be right :/

3 PEAT Steve 1150
4 ATHERTON Gee 1078
5 HANNAH Michael 929

The-Hoff (Sep 17, 2009 at 13:12)

I just checked it and i think yours are over all World ranking and mine are the World Cup standings... hope that helps

+ 1

w-e-w (Sep 17, 2009 at 13:14)

that's world ranking... which (I think) includes all UCI points and is different than the World Cup Overall series.

The World Cup Overall standings are..

1 Hill 1219
2 Minnaar 1203
3 Peat 1150
4 Atherton 1078
5 Hannah 929

I don't know what the deal is with French cycling websites, but the UCI and the Tour de France sites are enigmatic, to say the least!

+ 1

SeanTheSheep (Sep 17, 2009 at 13:16)

Yeah, mtb-dre's standings are the overall world rankings. The overall world cup rankings are posted on rotorburn.com... Sam hill's still in the lead, though it'd be nice to see peaty pull off the come from behind victory to take the worlds and the world cup overall.

do u think peaty with retire from racing if he takes this win as he'll finish on a high note with both wins?? and the world champs was the one thing he wanted to do before finishing.

Shoe2190 (Sep 17, 2009 at 15:20)

If he wins the world cup hes only 1 wc overall behind nico (hell have 4 nico 5 if i remeber rightly) so i doubt he will retire he will want equal.

fraserogden (Sep 17, 2009 at 13:49)

stikmanglaspell (Sep 17, 2009 at 13:59)

I hope Brendan can keep it together mentally, I watched him practice there last year (was fastest guy by far) and by the looks of him on the video, this is his track again.

Peaty is not retiring, wether he is last here or wins by 20 seconds.

dillon425 (Sep 17, 2009 at 21:34)

oh no doubt brendan has always had sick style he just reminds me alot of blinky in this vid with all the wheelying out of corners and super loose style that blinky has always had

+ 1

erbissell (Sep 17, 2009 at 23:25)

yeah blinky likes to pull the front up out of corners. they both ride really wild. as rob warner says: "not afraid to let it hang out"
