Here it is. If you’re entered this event you will already have seen the list, but because I’m guessing a bunch of you haven’t you need to check out what you’re missing being a part of.
The messed up thing is though, the name you most want to see on the list isn’t there. James ‘Dodzy” Dodds. As hyped as everyone is to ride these usually closed-to-the-public trails, there’s no forgetting what this event is in remembrance of, and that is Dodzy’s incredible life, and with that in mind I guarantee the vibe this weekend is going to be like no other event.
About that list though! The number of World Cup downhillers has doubled since we last saw it. With the addition of TWR’s rider Neko Mulally, Lapierre’s Loic Bruni and Sam Dale.
The only other thing worth mentioning is why is local favourite Jamie Nicoll racing in Masters 1 and not Open? I suppose if he wins he still wins right, regardless of category?

Here’s a WynTV clip from last summer showing the trail Bermed As, which will be part of the 3rd Enduro race stage on Sunday
I hope y’all have fun out there
Open men, is really Senior Men. There are category winners and then an overall winner. The fastest thirty or so from across categories will shuttle in the last group to make it fairer for all overall title contenders. Everyone else will be random. Its a fun a event, with a competitive edge… Its the spot prizes that everyones after anyway aye? Bring some cash for the coffee cart, ain’t no place to swipe your card where your going…..
That’s a stacked field!
