Frameworks - Fox Racing

Santa Cruz Syndicate - Fox Racing
The Union - Fox Racing
Dorval AM / Commencal - Troy Lee Designs
Poll
Actually like Loic's this go around. I'm usually not a huge fan of what him and Finn are in. Always love the simplicity of the Union but I'll give it up to Loic for this one. Really cool pants. Is it like another anniversary for the Stumpy or maybe a lil joke about winning Leogang? lol
First time I've thought about Laurie Greenland all year. Any clues as to why he isnt top of the heap per usual ?
The beginning of the year the kits were uggo, improvements all around! I have to mention them as a whole because I called it an ugly kit year. silly old me who has one kit for the year anymore?
Frameworks - Fox Racing, Classic looking race kit not too much, on the verge of too little in a good way. The yellow over pale yellow looks great, even if the pants look a little tight.
Luca Shaw - Troy Lee Designs, Also a classic DH/moto kit the fit looking tailored without being a onesie. if I was as fit as Luca I would wear it grocery shopping.
Greg Minnaar - Fox Racing, Greg's kit is a refreshing color way makes me think muted gravedigger, matching shoes might be the winner for me.
Loic Bruni - Specialized, I think it scores extra points for me because the spez kits have been boring to ugly for quite a while now. the 70's color, pant texture and TRD vibe makes up for the white socks pulled up with cholo shorts and what should be chopos slippers. only missing the extra extra long belt end, IYKYK.
Trek Factory Racing - 100%, classic red got to stick with what's corporate, I mean what works, I don't expect anything more from Waterloo
Santa Cruz Syndicate - Fox Racing, I like the same same but different that syndicate has been doing for a long time now, it reminds me of a toned down version or the TLD power rangers kit of yesteryear. I giggled at Greenland's 3rd pic doing his best impression of Mcadoo after the Detroit main.
The Union - Fox Racing, under stated graphic, but unlike Frameworks being at the cliff edge, this one is over the understated cliff. (would that make it a curb?)
Dorval AM / Commencal - Troy Lee Designs, I appreciated the constant use of the Dorval & blue, they have mixed it up but kept a classic looking race kit that share enough to recognize from year to year.
TLDR - Minnaar even if he loses a 10th or 3 because his kit is flapping like the Jolly Roger behind the digger itself, the shoes match no contest.
Sounds like similar health and fatigue issues as last year :/ He's had splits throughout the season that are top 10 though. His pace is surely there, just needs to be 100%
Unmatched impressions of each kit, I thoroughly enjoyed the read. But the question remains—which did you vote for???
in conclusion Minnaar was my vote and because I posted first then voted I was surprised to see he was mid pack.
