If you guys still think this is AI here is some other spy shots from today look at nina’s bike

Also, update on #frecklegate. He's playing hard to get.

It's sad reading nonsense like this. The same wheels won him a World Cup a few weeks ago. Mondraker on the same wheels got 4th & 5th in this race. Mondraker runs the same tires as all 3 of the men's overall podium.

received this PR last week and figured i'd put it here for dissection. enjoy. EX-STROMER CEO LAUNCHES VIIALA TO DISRUPT E-BIKE INDUSTRY Introducing a new era of e-mobility: space-age technology meets ultra performance VALAIS, Switzerland (October 9, 2025) – Two visionaries from completely different sectors are joining forces to redefine the future of e-mobility. Tomi Viiala, former Co-CEO of Stromer, and François-Henri Bennahmias, former CEO of watchmaker Audemars Piguet, have announced the launch of Viiala Bikes—a premium e-bike brand that combines breakthrough technology, bold design, and uncompromising performance. “Viiala’s business plan is not about following the market,” says Viiala, “it’s...

Spotted in MSA

@matvaillancourt1 posted this photo in 2025 team rumors thread. "spotted in MSA" - is it real? with teams having to be selected in the next month, stands to reason they'd get photoshoots done in MSA before everyone goes home.

There were a couple of clues in the live feed. As Kolb was climbing onto the stage whilst passing the race winning V10, Neko says " Is that his bike or Jacksons?", to which Rik replies "Careful!". In the interview Andi was asked why he was so happy to see Jackson beat Bruni. He gave a very diplomatic answer, which prompted Rik to say something like "He handled that question just as well as he handled his bike today". So I think Kolb to Syndicate is the done deal.

They are just trolling both Yeti jr riders are future teammates for next year. Nothing said they couldn't have been current teammates sharing the podium too🤣🤣

No - biggest story is someone wearing shorts in Quebec on October 11.

Vali went through with it and raced in shorts.

That’s why I was curious how many riders have gone to a “significant” numbers (5+ or however you want to define that) without qualifying this year. It makes to go try and qualify for a WC or 2 if it happens to be in your country or nearby and you can get a federation jersey, enjoy the experience and see how it goes. Traveling to every WC without qualifying is where doing well at Conti races or CW is probably better.

here is the latest b practice pods in youtube or audio form (or it's on the homepage too)

It would be interesting to go back and look at how many elite men and women have actually qualified for a final this year. Maybe 50 men, 20-25 women? Would also be interesting to see how many elite riders have been to at least 5 world cups without qualifying. The riders who are spending the money to go a significant number of world cups without ever even qualifying are the group that could benefit from a program like Dante’s doing USDH or IXS
