I would love to see a frame by frame for Thibault and Greg's runs. I bet they would look surprisingly different for having nearly identical results.

doesn't apply to vital too much as it's ebike XC, but a World Series race was just fully canceled. "Not possible to ensure successful execution of event." - wonder what that really means? is there really an interest in e-xc? ----------------------------------------------- Charade/Clermont-Ferrand Round canceled Monaco (P.ty), Thursday 31 August 2023 - The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) and WES Management regret to announce that the round of the 2023 UCI E-MTB Cross-country World Cup which was scheduled to take place in Charade/Clermont-Ferrand (France) on 30 September and 1st October, has been canceled.

adamdigby Added a comment about video BEST DH TRACK OF 2023?! Loudenvielle World Cup With Joe Breeden & Dakotah Norton
9/1/2023 7:02am
That looks absolutely awesome, compared to normal helmet cam previews, being able to see Dakota and his bike sliding and bouncing about really helps to show how cool and off camber the track is. The Andorra B Practice Podcast discussing brakes is quite good timing for this track; more oil, thicker everything, and more power seems like it would be sweet here, especially for us over 190lb people. It's amazing how many commenters on YouTube are saying that this course is a flow trail and possibly the worst world cup track ever.

I just thought was a blue and black finish on square framing when I saw the bike in another article. I really liked the color scheme, but now I’m intrigued over what might be behind the tape.

Having seen a lot of peculiar data visualizations in mtb media recently, it's refreshing to see someone present a clear question, use a data set that can shed some light on it, and pick one visualization that reasonably well supports the discussion they're trying to have

9/3/2023 5:23am At least last year top five overall are protected for finals plus the best five from this year which are not included in the last year protected riders, making only nine guys that are currently racing safe :/

8/28/2023 7:17am I’ve caught my pants on things too, the only difference i can think of is the opening of the shorts getting caught over the seat if you’re super tall, otherwise all the same problems can happen.

If you're catching shorts on your brake levers you have bigger problems.

8/28/2023 7:12am World Cup series points only go to 30th, Taylor Vernon got zero points for his Lenzerheide 31st place in finals. It’s a shame you can make finals and not earn any series points. UCI points go to 60th in finals per the rule book.

Ultimately, 10 years ago MTBs were effing terrible, yet most riders thought they were fantastic.Now those same riders think it can't possibly get any better, again. Coming from an MX background, it was extremely obvious to me what an ill fitting cluster f*ck my first '14 MTB was. Although a solid 75% better in 2023, they still have a ways to go just on the basics of geo.

Obviously a disaster with the weather but I did think camera coverage was night and day compared to fort William so that’s one small positive we can take from this weekend.

I'm bummed for Dakotah, he's trying not to slip and die while all Cedric can comment on is his bar height. Nobody ever mentions how low Matt Walker's bars are, they seem much more notable to me. Dahotah's bars really aren't crazy at all like Mickael Pascal's back in the day.

8/26/2023 6:19am The women’s race just finished and the flag behind the start hut during Vali’s start was being blown darn near straight, they’ve closed the road gap but it looked like wind still blew her a little awkward in corners.

Would be a shame if they just cancelled semis and let the top 60 race finals at every race

8/24/2023 5:11pm It should be noted that final runs award UCI ranking points to 60th (a hold over from years past as per the Annex 3 I noted in a poost further back in this thread) but as there is a maximum possibility of 40 riders allowed into a final (30 non-protected riders plus the 10 finals protected guys assuming they didn't...
