I'm not from, nor have I been to the UK, but I sure am damn proud for them. That machine and kit serve their colors better than anything I've ever seen before. Naturally, it's for the greatest rider of the last couple of decades and the best ambassador for the sport. Looking forward to seeing that thing fly!

When you see people retiring with comments about how they just feel like they can't deal with the speed of modern DH, that just makes what Peaty's doing even more incredible. GO PEATY!

Seriously. I can recall several times where it seemed like he was starting to get left behind only to come right back and be a threat week-in and week-out. While I'd be surprised if he pulls it off again, I sure wouldn't be shocked.

Exactly, wouldn't shock me a bit. I'd sure love to see him on a few more podiums!
