Izabela Yankova out w/ head injury. Crappy way to start the season but glad she' (and the big S) are taking it seriously

Someone pointed out Moi Moi TV has rights to that naming.

I do propose a t-shirt for him that has EVERY pun & anagram that's been associated with him the past 3 seasons that looks like a concert T-shirt.  Front can be the Moonraker cartoon/movie/OnlyFans that @tstep designed and back can be the list of names laid out like tour cities.

What about back and up sweep? High bars can come with a larger angle on both that, in case of backsweep, actually moves the hands back again, again shortening the reach. Substantially, in the range of 30 to 40 mm compared to a standard backsweep of 8 degrees.

Heard the main reason Dak signed with mondraker is cause they are making him a signature handlebar, with 65mm rise and a crossbar.

High-stack Dak is back! I think at this point he's just trying to get his bike to do a Carolina Squat.

Honestly though, I think he's got a point. Inspired by him, I've lately been trying a taller stack of stem spacers + high-rise bars and it honestly feels amazing. So much confidence. Dak really might be onto something.

Any chance these are just old clips and photos? It appears as though he is still wearing the Intense branded Thor gear, and those look like TRP brakes? Possibly an M1 under there in pre production form from last winter?

Looks like Fontana Gwin wasn’t in Fontana last race. Don’t know if that helps

Man with innovative microphones one of the lucky few to stay on the same bike for another 3 years?
