I worry about the wrist and Danny did well enough to make me regret my decision to chose Remi, but Stevie Smith killed it at round one and jumps ahead of Danny to become Remi’s replacement. At 200k the former World Cup series winner is a bargain. Stevie… welcome to Ron Swansons Bacon. Remi, this isn’t personal, hand in your badge and your gun on your way out.

Emanuel Pombo at 50k gets a solid 6/10. He qualified and came 47^th getting some decent points. However, he was at an enduro race this weekend so I’m not sure if he is making the trip to Australia. You need to update your Instagram with some travelling pictures Emanuel!

I need to be prepared for each scenario, so if he isn’t racing this weekend I’m going to go with a 75k racer, probably a young Australian in the hope that he has a once in a lifetime run at home. I don’t know whom yet, I’ll decide on Friday (Ed’s note: due to the time difference it will be too late by then Tim!). If Pombo does go, Emyr (3/10 – didn’t qualify) will be replaced with a 50k Aussie.

It’s not too late to join the Dirt Fantasy League here. There are still spot prizes available at every round and we’ve set up a league for everyone who missed the first round here. The spot prize for Cairns is a signed Trek Factory Racing DH jersey.

A note for racers: Don’t take any of this personally, it’s dog-eat-dog in the world of fantasy sports, I love you all really.

If I’ve talked you up and you do badly I haven’t cursed you, but if you think I have please complain to the Editor!
