If you don't know it
and
If you are interested in racing at the highest level
then
You should look up RedBull's TV coverage online. I'd give you the link, but it's so easy to find on Google I won't even bother.
This weekend was South Africa's World Cup. Christian Downhiller Aaron Gwin came in 2nd while Greg Minaar won. Tracey Hannah (Mick Hannah's sister, btw) won the women's downhill. (What IS it with these brother/sister dh teams?-- cf. the Athertons).
On the XC side, Emily Batty of Canada came in 2nd- a major, life-changing result for her. Maja W. (a long, long name that's not on the tip of my tongue) from Poland won for the women, while Nino Schurter from Switzerland won for the men. Bit of a bad day for the No. American men. I believe the highest ranked was... um... let's see...Canada's Geoff Kabush in 37th. Now, if you know about racing, that's actually not as bad as it sounds, but Kabush has won a world cup before, so you know he's not too psyched on this one. Top USA rider? Sam Schultz in 42nd.
So, that's the latest there. At least memorize these names if you're going to watch MTB in London 2012!
