Yeah, that's the feeling I had reading the Dirtfish article. It could backfire spectacularly. Last year they ended up with humble pie for dinner on Sunday, after all their pre-event hype / team photos / PR activity... same in Japan too. Kalle seems to thrive under pressure, and has proven himself to be able to deliver, but last year he was trying pretty hard and still couldn't manage. I hope at least we'll have a close fight...
