Just like that we’re already at the end of the World Cup race season. It’s been a good one and we’re down to the wire. Barring a big problem Gwin likely has it in the bag but we’ve seen some really cool shake ups this year. In any case, with Danny on a hot streak and Loic coming back to form so quickly from injury, it all comes down this loose, dusty and wild track.
