We should actually ban people posting the other account on here. Its funny when you stumble on it organically. But i had the same reaction here, scrolled right past.
wyn masters is a treasure to the human race.
please lord protect him for all time.
Enduro practice day edit, dry and dusty, but the weather sure is cooperating for now:
Neko has been working with another fellow that has a QR code signage for timing and the POV video that maybe allowing them to do their own timing.
Or maybe like myself and using the Garmin timing gates to create splits down the course for analysis
All of the custom Demo paint jobs this weekend. Jordan William's takes the top step for me

Hey @sspomer, can you ask Rick (politely) to get some photos of the new Fox Suspension service truck? Pinkbike had one photo of the interior that looks bewilderingly large for a "truck." Would love to get a better idea of what kind of mega-whip the mechanics are rolling around in these days.

Looks like Yeti ended up with the YT race truck.
The railing and curved awning give it away.
all they had to do was add an E and an I haha
The anti-CCLTV
I forgot... they also ended up with the YT race team manager.
Free team manager with truck? Free truck with team manager?
I'm sure they got a deal one way or another. 🤣
What a Switch!
First clip I've seen of Loic's crash...
What the heck were they doing to the saddle?
Pure speculation question. That seams like an odd place for Loic to lose it.
I wonder if his fork malfunctioned again.
It’s so dusty wouldn’t take much to go down like that
it looked like a little torch or something like that. I wonder if it's softening the plastic molding or something.
From what's being said in french, it is a torch and he's reshaping the saddle
Qualifying underway, starting with Women Elite Q1.
Live results: https://live.ucimtbworldseries.com/
Vali Höll is the only woman to beat yesterday's fastest timed training time.
She goes P1 in Q1 a full 4 seconds ahead of 2nd place Myriam Nicole.
Seagrave, Scarsi, J. Hastings: DNS
What the heck? Jackson now shown as DSQ in Q1?
I have to assume they got some rain since yesterday’s timed training, because the only Elite rider to beat yesterday’s top training times is Vali Höll.
At Korea, all the women and men riders who qualified through Q1 had better times than the fastest timed training times.
Is it raining in Loudenvielle? Trying to make sense of these qualifying times
It seems like the timing system has gone off the rails (or a red flag at the bottom of the course for the junior women).
A bunch of elite men getting reruns now, after the junior women apparently.
Q1 results are in: https://www.vitalmtb.com/features/results-loudenvielle-downhill-world-cup-elite-qualifying. Plenty of drama and lots of fast riders will be out to get it right in Q2.
Aletha goes fastest on the Junior Women re-run (by about 5.5 seconds) and Rosa Zierl goes 2nd.
