Affordable alloy? Sight A1 is 6100 € on their site for Slovenia. In 2020 the same model (same gear, Ultimate suspension, 2022 stuff on the 2023 model too!!, Code RSC, GX drivetrain) was just over 4000 or roughly 4500 € at most. So that's a ~35 % price increase in 3 years...

So, it's the same price as a Bikeyoke and is a Bikeyoke. The only thing Manitou had to do right, was the lever, which they didn't. Hmm... sounds like a weak effort from M.

Definitely not.. The step into elite can be difficult, remember Finn was that wonder kid and its taken him a good minute to get himself sorted in elite. Conditions (both weather and track) are often different when the juniors race compared to those top 5 guys in elite.. Not discrediting either of their talents at all but there's more that goes into it for sure, however I'd love to see them both step up and smash it!

Why do you want the sport to be more professional? Having a bunch of crazy people slamming beers and holding chainsaws and airhorns WFO inches from the track is badass. If you want professional go to a tennis match.

The fact that SRAM made a proprietary derailleur hanger that is also backwards compatible to be used as a “regular” hanger is admirable. These are the kinds of “new standards” I can get behind.

Few points to consider here. First, the bike community seems to really want an F1 style world cup circuit. Something that spans the globe, features more races than we currently have, is covered extensively and is fun to watch. You know what that takes? Money. A lot of money. Second, there seems to be perpetual bitching and moaning about the poor pay, lack of healthcare, etc for all racers at the highest level (well, almost all racers). This is especially true on the women's side. You know what this takes to fix? Yup. Money. Go to any big race, look...

I think it's illegal to use bald eagle units for a Metric country bro! interesting that some of the DH/Enduro are on the same weekend, Masters brothers, Antoine Vidal etc will have to make up their mind as to which one to race. Knowing Wyn, he will somehow do both the mad unit!

just got confirmation, Loic is on course this morning for practice before qualifying in MSA. stoked!

I know aesthetics are subjective, but that Trek just isn't doing it for me. It looks like a lovechild between a GT and a Niner. Considering most of their bikes over the last few years have been fairly simplistic with clean straight lines it's taking my brain a minute to adjust to this one. I know the Trek engineers are much smarter than me and there is a thought-out reason for every aspect of the bike. Maybe it will grow on me...

i took the statement as greg being closer to the UCI and not being as into the union idea as others, but assumption on my part. could there be some red bull athlete worry behind the union too (loic's movement)? i DO NOT think red bull limits exposure of non-red bull athletes in the broadcast and even their editorial features, but red bull athletes get a lot of exposure because the broadcast is controlled by red bull (POVs, thumbnails all over youtube and the red bull site, social media posts etc). i don't know how contracts are worked out, but...
