While the World Cup circus is on pause and the world's top riders are locked down, we've been rewatching old races and classic mountain bike DVDs and nerding out about whether the rainbow curse is real or not... and many of you are likely doing the same. To put all that World Cup DH knowledge to use, we're running DH Fantasy Trivia while we wait for DH racing to start back up.
These trivia quizzes WILL count towards the overall DH Fantasy League, so if you're all all-time World Cup nerd (or just have a knack for guessing!) you could be the lucky person who gets to design a custom
Project One Trek Slash carbon frame to bring home kitted out with Rockshox suspension and SRAM components!
Each trivia round will feature 15 questions and the first one will run 10 days, from
Wednesday May 13th at 10am PST through Sunday, May 24th at 11:59pm PST and will have feature prizing for the overall Top Nerd. Once racing resumes (fingers crossed!), we'll continue with the regular Fantasy DH League and combine the points from Fantasy Trivia with Fantasy DH for a total of 9 rounds and crown the overall Fantasy Downhill Champion and present the Grand prize of a complete bike!
Sound good? Let's get started. But first, here's what's at stake:
Grand PrizeSeason OverallAt the end of the season the overall Fantasy Downhill Champion will get to design a custom
Trek Project One Slash Carbon to bring home kitted out with a

IMPORTANT: To maximize your chances to win the Grand Prize Custom Project One Trek Slash Carbon with SRAM and Rockshox components, we recommend you play all rounds of DH Fantasy Trivia ahead of the DH Fantasy season. There will be 9 rounds in total. You will want to maximize your points score for all 9 trivia rounds and races to win the prize bike. If racing is unable to resume, the winner of the bike will be decided by DH Fantasy Trivia alone. The theme of this first round is, you guessed it, opening rounds. Good luck!
The Fantasy Downhill League is Presented by Trek.
Good Luck!

How many opening round World Cup DH races have Trek athletes won?
- only elite men/women, or juniors too?
How many times has the winner of the opening round gone on to win the overall?
- only elite men/women, or juniors too? Vali Höll is an example.
Who was the first Trek athlete to podium at a World Cup DH?
- podium with three or five people?
Which manufacturer's hat did the winner of the opening round in 2010 wear on the podium?
- she was wearing a white hat and he was wearing a black hat, but he took it off for the national anthem and then put it back on. What about the word manufacturer? Does this mean that Red Bull, Pinkbike, and NASA aren't manufacturers, but sponsors?

I'm out, fill it out your self and grant your self or your "buddy" a new bike. It did not matter what colour of underwear I wore when I graduated, I guess some people didn't graduate at all.
Its not geeky at all.

That's easy! The answer has to have Loris' name in it!
