Interesting that on such a wet day that the riders that were on it made it through for the most part. 5 of the racers that were in the 21-30 spots for q1 made though in q2. Danny and Finn were 32 & 37th but had good first splits. So Joe Breeden, max a and Pinkerton made the biggest jumps in Q2. Roger Viera and Charlie Hatton got the short end as they were both a couple spots outside in Q1 and q2

If only they had some kind of matching colored course tape type product on hand 🤔

Looks like they realized the poles were not enough of a visual indicator in at least one section.

Domi M4. Mineral oil all but confirmed?

Yeti’s new pits be like…

Angel gets a paycheck, gets to keep racing, and I would imagine helps with developing the next Aventon ebike. What's the problem?

I was listening to a road biking podcast recently. One of the guests on the podcast is currently a DS for a bigger team and used to be a world tour rider. One of the things that came up in discussion is how absolutely insane the new generation of riders are. They are SO fast. They are SO good in their training. They are SO dialed in their nutrition and recovery. The guest made a point to bring up an interesting-to-me factoid: They can't let the younger riders anywhere near the big-name riders during team training rides. None of them...

Tech Rumors and innovation

Legit had me checking today's date... I'm kinda speechless. I'll let the experts weigh in on this... Bombshell (also is that ai or just a very bored press writer... spearhead a comprehensive content offensive? Angel re-read that contract they MIGHT be sending you to the front lines idk brother)

Great question. To your point, I think the cannibalism is worse than that, because instead of wanting multiple pedal bikes for different sorts of pedal days with granular differences between each model, one ebike is pretty much fine for everything. In the past, as a MTB pedaler, I would have loved to have at least three mountain bikes: a long travel enduro bike, a shorter travel trail bike, and maybe a hardtail or XC bike. Maybe more. If I wanted to give up on pedaling and get an ebike instead, I don't need two ebikes. For ebikers who want to...

Remi's line, 5:32, is sick as hell. Not sure if its faster but that was cool as hell.

Details forthcoming but looks like the Ride Companion crew are going to do a watch along with Rob Warner.

the ski runs must be natural occurring fields…..
