A bit of shameless promotion, but hopefully it's relevant. I just put out a podcast episode where me and Alan Milway chat through all the 2025 team moves (confirmed and rumoured). Hopefully it's an interesting watch/listen. https://youtu.be/Mu0JAhGceB8 or https://www.downtimepodcast.com/team-moves-2025/ Clearly this forum gets a mention! Thanks to everyone here who keeps the rumour fire burning, I personally love it!

But how that is worded it just basically says if you are on a uci team you can’t become qualified to race thru the continental series but you are allowed to race them. It does not clarify who gets a qualification if those spots are taken by someone who is on a uci team or is already qualified on other grounds.

So if the talk of golden tickets rolling down is correct and they can go to riders from outside of the location of the continental races won't this put Antipodean racers at a disadvantage as their races are in the off season and likely to attract more riders from the Northern Hemisphere?

I just looked through the rulebook and nothing is stated about skipping over previously qualified racers to count so hopefully they amend the book to include that. Funny/complain worthy things I noticed in the rules: 30th in Elite mens final at a world cup earns you 30 UCI World Series points but 31 UCI MTB DHI points, this is sure...

I'm not sure (what the rule number is). Was told this last week by our national federation who had sought clarification from UCI Might be an amendment thats been made once potential scenarios were raised with them.

Which rule number is that specified?

Its better news than that. Apparently theres a rolldown. Where if a rider getting a top 5 already has qualification through their Elite team, the spots roll down. So from this one today (after the elite team status is finalised by UCI), elite men in 6th/7th/8th today (at a minimum) will end up Golden ticket spots. And some roll down in other categories too

Maybe not on the race run. But there were lots of broken mechs in practice and quali. Keeping the bike together during practice and maximizing that time (especially when its limited) is critical. Luca mentioned in the downtime podcast, how Fabien harps on the canyon crew for setting the bike down on the mech side because of this exact reason. Its all about removing variables.

Another great podcast! I would definitely race a vet class that isn’t just Cat 1 30+.

Everyone should be excited for the new trek rider. We didn’t talk about this on the podcast, but there’s a previous World Cup podium contender switching to enduro as well

Aaron finished 12th at Mt St Anne on a body, bike, and suspension parts he hadn’t had much time on after nearly two years off DH bikes because of injury. It was wet weather for the race and he had semi-finaled 7th so I think he very much has the speed and ability to return to top step with a...

If you think a World Cup team like FMD are going to risk an entire season on some old prototype frames from canyon or specialized you have been smoking that crack again.

We just gonna forget that Maes took the underperforming Frankenstein-e-bike you mention to a 20th place finish at one of his only DH races this year? can’t be that bad… can it? Orbea is too big a company to not have something in the works (that isn’t just a wild sans battery/motor).
