Btw, the full race will be live and on demand on Red Bull TV. So wake up early or just watch the full race review but stay away from spoliers.

Ryan has trained a little with Cody Webb. The toughest parts for him will be Carl's Dinner and Green Hell. But I think he can finish and maybe get in top 10. Maybe. #deepfield

It would be cool to see him get a top 10 but I’ll be shocked if he finishes. I think this is Lettenbichlers year. Jarvis will be tough and consistent like always.

Hard to count out Jarvis as even at 44 he is still the best at the two most difficult places, Carl's Dinner and Green Hell. Jarvis won't get the start but he's won from second row.

I think your top 5 are Jarvis, Walker, Manni, Jonny and Taddy. But I'm not sure what order.

But thst still leaves Gomez, Webb, Roman and Young. So maybe top 15 for Sipes. That would be great if finishes on first try.

Last years event was awesome! Especially Green Hell - you know an obstacle is difficult when even the best in the world struggle. Can't imagine how bad it would have been for the 'mere mortals'.

Big props to Red Bull for showing the race live.

You forgot about Bolt. Manny and Billy are the future. Graham has a really good chance at winning and is recovering from his shoulder and rib injury. Sorry but I don’t see Sipes anywhere near top 15. Would be cool but I don’t think it’s realistic. There are no names out there racing with way more hard enduro skills than Sipes.

The Silent Assassin owned this race. 44 years young! Manni, to his credit, was right on him at Die Grune Holle but that is where Grimbo won the race.

What an inspiration and talent.
