After a short break since the last world cup the riders, teams, officials, photographers and everyone else involved has reconvened in picturesque Switzerland for round 5. We were here last year so we knew what to expect, the track is riding dry and fast. There is no denying the chatter around the fact some of the wild, big, wide open corners have been changed to smoother berms (bike park is the term we have heard). Regardless times will be tight and we arein for a good race, remember last year Greg Minnaar claimed an all time overall record 18th world cup win here and Dean Lucas climbed onto the podium in 3rd.
