amaury's POV

He sure did. KT Taped that damn hand to the bar on a beast of a track in the wet. Commitment!!! Can see it his whole run, but really good at 4:12 https://youtu.be/0yY463qPEYk?si=dmTcqsHNNs8vbl1X&t=250

From the ZF motor interview… hopefully it will hit the shelves soon (kryptotal super soft enduro casing)

good lord... the ed masters footage in the slop corner where all the fans were was outrageous. absolute slapstick. felt like the mud race where Ricky Carmichael lapped the entire field. not even sure the timestamp as its just premiering now lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ojHNwBiIR0

Meanwhile in the Specialized pits:

Put them in a hat, pull one for the win, then give everyone else a volume reducer as a token gesture.

we'll see how many burner accounts are made to make a fantasy team w/ the exact results as today's semis and qualis HAHAHA. can you split a fork 15 ways?

Rider reactions after semi-finals today - BK's quote: "I hate semi-finals, worst thing ever invented..."

Looks like DVO has a new Onyx dual crown incoming. I’m assuming 38mm stanchions, but skeptical those crowns will be production? Unless it’s an e-bike/moto specific crown. Certainly looks interesting especially with the conversations about Loic running a split crown.

Got to see the new Schwalbe Assegai/Kryptotal type tyre at Eurobike today on a random bike that it probably should not have been on. Knobs look bigger generally to me, though I could not check side by side with the Maxxis/Conti equivalent. Looks like it should be a good addition to the Schwalbe range.

Neko goes over Gen 2 of the enduro bike. Orders opening later in the summer.

Just saw on the PB article that there’s no routing option for a cable drive train on the new stumpy. What the fuck is wrong with these people.

Glad I could help. Probably the only time my Polish skills will be of use beyond Polish borders. 😅 I was up on the mountain today taking in the action. Good times.

...which looks like its going to be insane 😳

The coverage is only part of the issues with UCI/WBD Enduro is being sidelined, geographic spread of events is shocking, rider numbers are being cut, privateers being priced out of racing, etc.. I'm in Scotland and ESO bought out our national series then canned it without explanation, and have ignored any questions about it. The Tweed Valley EWS round had a five year contract in place with landowners and they canned that after two years. They also screwed local riders by halting a major trail development to run the XC World Champs on the site, then bulldozed what they'd built...
