These guys are all well-rounded riders - they're not just strong in one event.

Some domestic riders, like myself, have ridden a lot of against those guys. But for many of the guys, it's a chance to show what they can do against some of the biggest names in the sport.

The new guys have stepped up to the same level we, the veteran riders, are at... We're all doing the same tricks and are at the same levels so it's going to be hard for the judges to differentiate everything.

Who is the strong? Not he who puts to testHis sinews with the strong and proves the best;But he who dwells where weaklings congregate,And never lets his splendid strength abate.

Our mental psyche has not been real strong. But I'll say the guys haven't given up on it. We're working hard and trying to make adjustments.

I don't know, we'll have to see. Daniel's (Ramsey) riding well and we have some other good riders … I'm not as consistent — I know that. But beyond that, I don't really know. I haven't been tested on any real climbs. I'm as much of a question mark as anyone out here.
