Not making fun, joining in the fun! 🙌
Pure speculation..Would Norco be a good landing spot for 00?
I liked when you had folks decked out in Sherlock Holmes outfits, that's dedication to the craft. How long were you planning it 😂
I knew I was onto something.....
Well played... Well played..
i love everything about this. thanks!
I swear I saw him on the live broadcast on crutches? I don't have social media, was he hurt again? Poor dude has had such a rough go the last 2 years.
In the sleeperco shredit he had a pretty rough looking crash. He will get a bag of lucky charms taped to his downtube this offseason and go fast again
No idea other than hearing mention of it
Epically well done.
Nah it's trek for sure
Lucas Cruz leaving Norco Race Division. Good guy who has been hampered by injuries the past few years. Seems like he could benefit by doing the Crankworx/Continental/national races like his brother focused on this year.
Such a great group of people.
Hoping that Bodhi Kuhn has another year with Norco. He had a few ill timed crashes. Gutted he got p 21 in MSA q1.
You guys might get a kick out of this.
I was checking the live timing for the Lake Placid Q2 and was so psyched to see this. My first thought was, "How great would it be if they're all in the finals?" followed by "Minnaar must be loving this." So, I immediately took a screen shot, figuring it would be cool to post it that day. Still, despite how it turned out, it's a good memory.
Hunh. The UCI site for team points seems horked at the moment. But Kolb going to SC before the end of year accounting would take his points with him. Wonder if we'll see the other announce before the 28th.
I had been of the opinion that points moved with rider mid season until they were counted in October, even made a detailed post about it on another thread. But, being the contract compliance nerd I am, I read the whole rule book. You cannot add riders to a team mid season except during the transfer period defined each season (it was in July) and during the offseason transfer period. Offseason transfers explicitly do not count toward current season points. So, Kolb might be signed on SC but I do not think his points move with him since it is outside the mid season transfer window.
What’s off about the team points?
With respect to points what happens if Vali just forms her own brand new team? Would it force the UCI to confront the potential of not having this year's champion attending next year's races?
The YT scenario where a defunct team qualifies on paper but hard working riders loose out (or at least as I currently understand it)
YT is just going to disappear from the standings and everyone below moves up a spot. By all accounts Vali and Oisin have already signed with new teams.
It totally clear he is showing you the location of the virtual pivot location of a Santa Cruz bike through its travel
She would qualify to race anyways. She doesn’t need a team for anything but a paycheck
Damn.
Now that photo is definitely AI 🤣
It's business. Whatever is best for the team.
Does this mean we’ll have to see Kolb in sexy speedsuits next year, too? Or are they only doing that with Jackson?
It is not always about the money the vibe Asa has with Neko might just keep him there.
AARGH, Stupid sexy Kolb! 😖
Between Cruz trolling, having the good news for Kolb, and Stupid Sexy Flanders, this is the best page of online bullshittery I've read in a while.
