Grassroots doesn't feel grassroots when a race day ends up costing close to $100+. As a parent, it's also hard to justify an 8 hour day to ride 5k feet with all the waiting around between stages. I'm squarely a mid-pack Expert, but taking away the full course from Expert was a bummer. Enduro isn't downhill, managing fatigue throughout the day is part of the game. In other words, a relatively easy day out for a lot of waiting around and money spent doesn't math.

Practice day on Saturday. Race on Sunday. Having the races on Saturday means you have to take off work at least all of Friday unless you know the course. So if you want to make it more accessible, or encourage people to travel to new places, not having to take days off work is a great place to start.

Liaison times that are awkward but manageable and adhere to any penalties that are incurred. Stages with small climbs or fire road sprints between sections to get away from the dh-lite that (uk) enduro had become

Insane that Madeline Lloyd, who is either 13 or recently 14 had the fastest Women's time of the day, besting Jenna Hastings by 0.6 seconds. Calling it now, Maddie Lloyd for Junior World Champ in Durango 2030 (if the category still exists. If not, then elite world champ).

The staff will be the "chaperone", we have other women is the crew too. Zoé is feeling safe and she is safe. No question about that.

just curious - in this context did "highest selling" mean total number of units sold, or percentage of inventory sold?

Wait what? Hardline is UCI sanctioned?

Using seeding results isn’t a given and it’s up to the organization to tell the riders what will happen in case of cancellation. Seems like this wasn’t done. Seeding isn’t the same as qualifying, it’s more like timed training, and you would never use those results as finals

Matters very much and I’m in Canada. Heading over to see Ireland vs Wales in a few weeks.

Her girlfriend is Mathilde Gremaud, a Swiss freeskier (defending Olympic champion). So it makes sense that she is present at the event.

The fact it's on at the same time as the opening ceremony and week one of the Winter Olympics is also quite the joke hhahaha

Not to be a Karen. But WBD and UCI get consistent blame for killing enduro. But here we have some killer news, with world champs at THE iconic enduro venue and it has not made the slightest impact on here, the pink place or social media. Maybe Enduro is just settling into its post birth and boom place?

Full 27 or mullet? Because 29/32 mullet is still mullet

Obviously, it's the cousin of Boaty McBoatface

Probably the 2-Chainz "Super Enduro/DH" e-bike.

5010 (and Tallboy) both listed as "-2025" whereas other bikes are "-Present." Edit: ...and Chameleon listed as "-2024."
