Dan Hugo - Flume Trail, Lake Tahoe, NevadaIt is time for Xterra World Championships on Maui in Hawaii. Now I have my predictions on how this race will unfold but being Maui it is full of outside factors that are virtually impossible to plan for. You can put in place your best strategy for technical malfunction but the course offers a buffet of obstacles that can break the best athletes preparations.
Dan Hugo has been the revelation of the 2008 USA Xterra Series. He placed 2nd overall in the series and 2nd in all the races he entered except for the final in Incline Village where he finished 4th. Dan goes into the World Championship as one of the clear favourites for the overall win and with that the possible start of a new era in the sport. Conrad Stoltz, a longtime friend, is the master of this event and he will always be the man to beat on any given day but even more so on Maui. Conrad has won this event 3 times, more than anyone in history, and will be wearing race #1 for tomorrows race. He wants a 4th win and he has the ability to win this race by minutes.
