I want to congratulate Vital and Lawlor on the best content to come out of round 1. I hope to see this continute with a rotating cast of riders at every round. By following the riders over the course of a weekend the story lines come to the front and you see the drama play out from the riders point of view. 👏🏼

Except there was at least one other jump on the track where the B line and main lines were split by a pole. Having inconsistent course markings is a recipe for misinterpretation and ambiguity.

Isn't this a valid justification for a rerun?

And I am impressed with Oisins result on regular non-mud tyres. He was running Kryptotals front and back on a track that definitely warranted mud or at least intermediate spikes… What a talent

So does the team get some kind of remboursement as they have paid to enter an event, a series and been "taken for a ride"?

I miss the five rider podiums. Also I think Hattie should have got a rerun. Its a no exceptions rule, every racer gets a clear course. If we start playing favorites why even have rules.

I know there are a ton of Neko fanboys in here--I'm one of them. But he cannot be left alone in the booth with just Rick. Once Josh left the booth the energy and excitement level just dropped off. I was feeling the lack of energy (towards the latter half of the men's finals), and my wife also made a comment about how the commentary turned very low energy. Neko's commentary itself is great, in terms of knowledge, but Neko is a very chill/cool dude by his nature. He doesn't 'hype' or get fired up like Josh, which is helpful...

there's a dedicated thread to what you guys are discussing. use the search, find it and talk there.

Fort William race report: Successful premiere! The iXS European Downhill Cup made its first stop on the legendary World Cup course in Fort William. Wind, rain and one of the toughest tracks in the world demanded everything from the field of riders. In the end, Great Britain's Harriet Harnden and Charlie Hatton triumphed in a weekend that is guaranteed to be one to remember. Friday - The first impression Blue skies, sun, clouds - and plenty of wind: that's how Fort William welcomed the riders on training Friday.

This little guy does well. Lasts 2 or 3 seasons before it dies or gets lost. Little velcro on the bar and back of the strap helps retention.
