sspomer a friend told me Sven isn't covering the world cups. Is there truth in this statement?

he shouldn't be your friend anymore b/c sven is at lourdes ready to pounce : ) he's doing all EWS too, so there may be a conflict here or there, but he's on it as usual.

sspomer I "was" that friend of the sizzler known on here as mshuster. I could've sworn I read something about Sven not covering the world cups and only doing the EWS this year. It wasn't presented as a fact regardless. Looking forward to the slideshows and glad to hear it! Bring on this epic race season!

I'm a social media trog, so this may already be out there, but any news on Ragot (Mondraker site hasn't been updated since the announcement she "might" be back for '16) or PomPom? Thought I read somewhere that PomPom had a bum shoulder and would likey miss this one.

yeah, pompon is out : ( scroll down on link below. johan added the pic a little bit ago w/ some info

i have audio going into the slideshow that's being built right now for that update...will be a few hours still.

no idea on ragot. considering she "retired", this would be a gnarly race to go at casually.

I read elsewhere on the supplemental and inferior mtb webscape that the crc team including Sam Hill are wearing leatt helments. So moto-y.

Looking forward to the trackwalk slideshow. I want to hear from Sam and Stevie and Danny. And someone strap a live go pro on Eddie Masters. Need to know what he is up to at ALL TIMES.

I hope for good things for Eddie this season both on the new bike and behind the camera.
