All

I havent had a pro license since 1993, I am in!

I still have some shots on Vital from Maribor 2008 WC

A bit off topic, but I know when I weighed a few bikes of a few top US guys last year (enduro) most were above 35 pounds. I'm not top guy but even mine was between 35-40 with nothing crazy in either direction except DH tires. Now that enduro racing is basically just racing DH multiple times in a day, it should be no surprise most of us are running DH tires, sometimes even adding cushcore or similar. Add DH brakes, DH cockpit, a dropper...and yeah, its hard to keep things low, regardless of if your bike is a "DH"...

Minnaar’s brain broke when he saw that his 2019 all-carbon bike weighs 38 pounds. I predict more puzzling in the near future.

1. - Taking not one but TWO banned substances really starts to stretch the plausibility of 'accidental ingestion'. - RR and JG are sponsored by Ryno Power, who stake their whole business on supplying supplements to elite athletes who get regularly drug tested. Clearly, the Ryno Power supplements weren't tainted. Why were these guys taking other supplements containing the banned substances? 2. - These guys reaped the benefits of two PEDs, which taken on their own may only have marginal benefits but in tandem would prove significant. Remember that Rude only beat Dailly by about 5 seconds in the round...

POLE // CARBON Pick one, not both.

Can we get a poll to see who is the strongest at "_______" or "________?" Like who can do more pushups? Gee or Bruni? Can Loris win an arm wrestling match over Rachel Atherton? I don't know, but it would be rad to put a poll up and have the top two go at it after each world cup round. Winner gets a super valuable VitalMTB sticker.

Cecile and her husband Cedric run the Ravanel Racing team, they are sponsored by Commencal but not part of the Commencal Vallnord Factory Team. Cécile does get support from the factory team whenever she races world cups though.

Looks like you did?

Thank you! For some reason I thought it was Blanka or Sagat and not Randy Orton. Classic!

This is why the french are dominating mtb - they are all too busy riding while the rest of us are playing guessing games about internet rumors.

"He will be looking to getting a new one pretty soon" - When mentioning that this was Sams old frame. Really hope to see Sam do some world cups. Love the fact that Adam is running tubes. In the last podcast Rennie also said that he never got on with the tubeless setup. Cheers for the nonconformist!

Blenki to take a year out and focus on launching his own range of gloves.
