<b>Stage 4, Tihi O Tawa, is not steep in gradient and although a little pedally in places, it has tons of flow with mellow turns and natural root rollers. Not much braking and flat-out most of the time. Oh and it's pretty, too. T-Mo on the gas. Trail builder Rob Metz in the audio.</b> -Sven Martin

<b>Martin Maes at the bottom of Stage 4. It's a tough one to predict this weekend. The forest is so thick that you only see glimpses of riders. It's anybody's race to win. </b> -Sven Martin

<b>Jamie Nicoll riding with busted fingers. Jamie is a strong, stubborn beast. I doubt he even feels a thing or much less cares. Not a man to make excuses. Fabien Barel discusses the terrain in audio.</b> -Sven Martin

That Sean McCaroll shot is rad. Steeze in the forest when none is required. For the love of it.
