If I were a WC top 30 rider, knowing that Lolo has already wrapped up the overall, I’d be itching to get a slice of that sweet, sweet USOpen prize purse heading into the most questionable off season in memory. It will be very interesting to see how many euros/frenchies are on the start list.

What are the logistics of flying into the United States then immediately driving across the border to Canadadadaaaa?
Is it as straight forward as just flying into Canada from a foreign country?

As for WC racers, saw on IG where Luke MS is doing the Open. 

Not sure rider list but on the US Open prerace pod they said these teams were joining.  

Santa Cruz
Yeti
Atherton
FMD
pivot factory
Union
Frameworks
YT
Giant
intense
Norco
Canyon collective
Gwin/crestline
Forbidden 
Mondraker 


Could we see the first Asa battle against the elites?

The field last year wasn’t this stacked. It’s raining hard now at Killington but then 3 days of sun. The track should really shape up!

Right? He's won what, 10 elite World Cups and I don't know how many podiums, Jr, and Elite Worlds, Euro Champs...

One of the things I miss most about Dialed are the bits w/ Loris, really enjoyed hearing/seeing him talk about his racing and trainig and, to your point, it's not something he seems inclined to do on his own

Lake Placid XC course preview, seems they've tried to make it "fun" to ride as well as physically taxing. We'll see how it pans out when they put tires in the dirt...

That looks fun.  Maybe even with blood in your lungs and your heart in your throat fun...

Love when a 3 min "track preview" video is a few still shots of the course and some dude talking at the lens for 1.5 elapsed minutes time.

As a viewer from the comfort of my work from home office which is also my living room? Not really haha All the weather at WC's this year has made for some insane displays of bike handling skills, contrasted by the unlucky few who have got the short end of the stick with changing conditions. I kinda like the drama though. 

I think this weekend we are on track for consistent conditions as we build towards race day. Unless I just jinxed everyone....

It won’t be a mud race. Maybe for practice today, but only the new man made stuff. The rest of the course is so worn in, I doubt it will be affected. That was the first significant rain up here in a long time. Been a dust bowl for a while now. Plus sun today, tomorrow and Sunday. Course should be perfect by Sunday, if not tomorrow.

Angel and Neko said on WynTV that Asa is not racing the US Open or MSA next weekend as he recovers from the crash in Loudenvielle. Bummer.

Is there somewhere showing the rider list for the US Open given it's this weekend? I tried to google it but couldn't find anything.

Would really like to see the start list for qualifying tomorrow.  I can't get there Sunday so I was going to check it out on Saturday and don't want to miss the top dogs in qualifying.

Course preview for this weekend with Needles and Luca. Wild how quickly the track has dried out.

Shout out to the US open organizers for putting the last names in alphabetical order so I can actually find athletes I am looking for.

Speaking of... Are they doing some kinda AirDH one off event or just classing Kaos differently within the same race?

Also, JACKSON? Bummed he was not healthy enough for worlds. But wondering if he's testing the waters to sus out an MSA return to defend his 'title'. What a cool event this is. Wish I was there.

They’re doing a freerider class for the DH race.
