The three team leaders will have the same chances. It depends on how the race unfolds. If it's a hard race and riders arrive one by one, that's better for us. We're hoping for a difficult and chaotic race.

There were three world champions during the 1990s that came from America. The U.S. riders do very well in Europe and there's probably as many followers of Fast Fridays outside of this country than there are in this country.

It's easy for me to establish an immediate rapport with riders ? I can hop in the pipe and ride, I've been there before. I do it for the same reason they do: the love of the sport. My goals are the same as theirs. I want for them what they want for themselves and that's the best that they can do.

It was going to be somebody's day, and I knew that one of us was going to have that day. We're all really strong riders and we're all really fit, but to have that podium ride or world championship everything has to come together.

It's the same theory that Lance Armstrong exploits whenever he's riding in the Tour de France. He's taking advantage of the draft created by other riders to reduce the amount of effort he has to make.

Eighty-seven-thousand riders may not be as many as other areas, but that's still 87,000 riders.

The best steep terrain in the USA is always reason to ride here. Top it with this year's snowfall, and you should already be on a plane. If that's not enough incentive, consider this: Jackson's iconic aerial tram, known for its access to Jackson's best (steepest, most advanced) terrain and the upper mountain, will be taken down in October. The resort has plans to get riders to the top, but it will likely be years before a new tram goes up.

Maybe there are no so many names as other years, but the level continues being high.

This is my first victory of the season. I basically tried to ride it the same way as I did last year. I tried to really make the difference in the second half or the final third of the race.

A mixed day really. Nicky started well but couldn't improve this afternoon when the team tried some new adjustments that didn't work too well. Max again seems to be having problems with his machine in the turns and we need to look at the data to see if we can all come up with a solution. It is all very close today. The top 14 riders are all within one second of each other but, we need to be higher.
