I never heard of this until this year. Maybe there is something to it considering how all of the Champs did at Hangtown. Who will get over the "hangover" first.


Funny, I don't remember RC ever getting a hangover, but oh well.


RV=3RD
BARCIA=13TH
TICKLE=9TH

Besides the fact that RV will win races, lets look at the other two...

Barcia will be top 5 - top 7 from now on, BUT I honestly dont see the kid winning or dominating like people think he will.At most 2 national wins this year, and they will be east coast rounds if he wins any.

Tickle will be top 5 at best, he will finish top 10 Im sure every round, but he seems to lack the natural ability or willingness to push it...hard worker for sure, but I dont ever see him winning a national, not even on a PC..

just my opinion

Maybe the media commitments are more intense than in previous years, I don't know.


Seems like Barcia uses too much energy slamming through bumps and throwing his bike around that much. He's fun to watch, but to keep that up for 30+2 is a lot. He can get away with that is SX since it's such a sprint, but outdoors........

It think Tickle has a moto or two in him this year.


I expect RV to be back fer sure.

RVs symptoms that he describe on How Was Your Weekend with TW did sound an awful lot like a hangover

Their "programs" are not designed to peak until mid season.....

They are at 73%.....

They are letting the race come to them....

Just a few from over the years.

Yes thats true but how many had that much pressure on them to win? And some just plain handle it better (as in Reed)
