I go back to who I consider the G.O.A.T. "Nico Vouilloz" and why. Nico just simply dominated both in Juniors and Elites when he raced. But talking fitness and pedaling. Go back and watch vids of Nico's race runs. Where other racers may have coasted, and some might have put in a couple pedals in between turns Nico would get in 5,6 maybe even 7 good hard strokes in. Needles you mention Ronan did that double in the lower woods. But he skipped that little double higher up and stayed on the ground and got a couple extra strokes in. I would like to see even a flatter and longer start than Poland just to see who really has the power, lungs and heart.

Then Greg wins if it is just pedaling :) Jokes aside. Nico is a legend. Have so much respect for him. He was almost ahead of the time, wasn't he?
