@Between The Tape Simulated Racer from Andorra is live - https://www.vitalmtb.com/features/simulated-racer-was-it-palazzaris-rac… Some really cool insights into what could have been for Davide Palazzari had he not crashed in the last split. It's also crazy how little time was actually left on the track this weekend. Enjoy!

It would be fascinating to find out how many teams actually do something like simulate a perfect run!

So when Jackson told Loic "that run was PERFECT"... This lil maple syrup demon was actually telling the truth and understood Bruni left almost no time on the track. General compliment... Or he actually memorizes the simulated perfect run from tt/Q splits to have a goal to shoot for. I choose to believe the latter for fun lol

What a race! I only caught the last 10 men due to the time change but I'm so happy to have seen Jackson then Loic battle it out. So happy for Loic, he said last week he wanted to put a stop to Jackson's run and he came out clutch

Bolt-in ballast weights seem like a solid guess. Good spot for them, easy win. Why not? I doubt it’s for stiffness though. Those forgings are pretty burly, and adding a brace there wouldn’t change frame stiffness all that much. Plus the lower link pivot is already acting as a good brace. Technically possible, but probably not the intent. Could just be there to hold a cover. Maybe to cap off the gravy boat for full gravy-like mud conditions? What I’m more curious about is the bolt on the headtube and the one on the non-drive leg around the shock. Accelerometer...

Go squeeze some playdo and you'll see the hand makes a bulge in the middle. Might just work on grips.

I too worry about rider safety and wonder if the overall winners will be those that are able to dial it back just a little bit to finish the season consistently and injury free. I think this has always been the case to some extent, but the combination of factors you mentioned just amplifies this even more. Formula 1 went through some safety changes and I wonder if the same thing can happen in Downhill (I am presuming riders would also like this to be the case).

I'm curious, do you think it is justified because of the high variability we are seeing in the results (e.g., lot's of top names not qualifying)?

Cool article. It's interesting how the changed format (and this kind of data) seem to strongly justify the move to get rid of protected riders. Hopefully it's not "too" competitive, and we wind up with everyone in the top ten out on injury by October.

6/29/2025 10:37pm While I wouldn't be able to include racers outside of Finals where the data is contingent on their final time or rank, I've made a note to try and expand some of the other analyses out to see if I can include more racers. At the very least, I can publish simulated rank tables for the whole field. Maybe I...
