The 2012 World Cup is fast approaching and Dirt are running their Fantasy League again this year.

Full details and registration here:

http://dirtmountainbikes.uat.fantasyleague.com/

Northern's Numpties are assembled and all ready to race (hopefully - might have been an idea to check on injuries before launching in but never mind)

As we did last year (http://www.essexhertsmtb.co.uk/mountain-bike-chat/dirt-fantasy-downhill-t578.html?hilit=fantasy%20league#p5373) I've set up a Essexhertsmtb mini league as well (PIN to enter is 29).

Seem to recall that Beth won the Essexhertsmtb league last year and also did rather well in the whole thing - 12th wasn't it?.....oh, and by the way the prize, if you do win the whole thing, is a rather lovely looking Trek Slash 8

are you trying to be strategic & match specific riders to specific tracks?

Karve - are you constructing some form of algorithm for your team selection?

We have 8 runners and rides for the Essexhertsmtb mini-league so far......

.... 1st race is 17-18 March - Pietermaritzburg - think it will still have the long pedally middle section so should be a good indication of who's put the hard work in over the off season ... who's the smart money on for the overall win this year?

Ive constructed a distributed computing program to analyse the split times on all tracks from the last 10 years. Its currently crunching the numbers, and mapping in all variations in atmospheric pressure, precipitation, loam consistency, number of ti bolts, snugness of racing outfits and wind tunnel testing to give me my predicted best team for this year. I need a couple more weeks to gather the results. :ugeek:

Failing that ill pick the riders who do the biggest whips :high5: like I did last year

Another Pietermaritzburg track preview here- showing off some of the gaps and step downs:

Also results from Australian National DH champs here - usually a good indication of which of the Aussies are 'on it' at the start of the season:
