Its so good that Sam Hill finally won a WC this year, but Gwin's result is more impressive I think.

Go Peaty... 2nd is good. Just 4 points away. 2 more rounds to go. Hill was just unstopable since the qualy. He blast it off. My bets for the overall: Peaty 1st, Hill 2nd and Minnar 3rd (yeah, u can tell I'm a fan for Peat).

sam through the rock garden was absolutely unreal. All of the top riders looked good through there, but he was at a completely different level. It's pretty incredible how fast that guy can ride, and its pretty sweet to see him hold it together for a big win. It also moves him to the top spot in the overall, by only 5 points....its gonna be one hell of a finish to the season, let me tell ya.

Also, props to steve smith for yet another stellar result this season. I'm pretty sure he has yet to qualify or finish out of the top 10 this year? Pretty damn impressive if you ask me! Would love to see him make the podium for the first time, on home soil....maybe bromont?
