Has any team ever had both junior and elite women world champion? In any case absolutely amazing day for Commencal Schwalbe female squad with that perfect score!
Once Jackson's sister showed up and surprised him in the pits, after that heartfelt hug, it was pretty much over for all the other senior men's racers.
I think she deserves a cut of his winnings, just like his mechanic.
I'll just post a link here, rather than embedding the video, because even though it's on Youtube I expect it will get deleted. Also, the audio is horrendous.
Still, if you want to see poetry in motion and you haven't seen his run, the video is apparently from the broadcast and is excellent quality.
I was so confused looking for him in the live timing and then couldn’t find him forever on the quali list until I finally scrolled to bottom and saw DSQ. Since he’d finished originally with a time, I guess it was a DSQ after review.
played this video for some friends tonight (who ride but don’t follow the sport) and they couldn’t believe the insane speed. You know it’s steep when it looks steep on the POV.
Same thing, but for non-Instagram users:

Wayman absolute heater. Nearly tire knob for tire knob with Ollie. Great run!
Your NEW Junior World Champion - Tilly Boadle!
With a brief cameo by the ever so shy team owner!
lol are the boys abandoning the hot seat due to the sun and Juan the Man is just vibing up there throwing shakas to the camera
Let's hear a few comments from our 2 new Junior World Champs.
well I avoided Lachie mostly due to budget constraint for fantasy and looks like i may eat crow. absolutely delivering on his qualy time.
What is happening between sector 1 and 2? Seems to be the place where some big names got into trouble

Did they show Jrs? I couldn't find them on UCI YT
They weren’t broadcasted
Jackson’s POV. Hit the ludicrous speed button

Elite men highlights:
Elite women highlights:
Wow, that looked like a great race to watch. Thanks UCI, for paywalling it--ya suck!
Top four men within 1.5 second, all under 22 years old. Jonty coming up next year. The sport is NOT slowing down.
Good interviews in this Fast AF* debrief. It's pretty clear how much a World Champs title means to these riders.
Was easy to watch from Japan on Youtube.
