Been thinking the same and I wouldn’t be surprised to see some teams/riders that are on the cusp each round of getting tv exposure to go the Crankworx route. Better chance at a pay day but more exposure. Hard to find comparative numbers but the Val di sole semi final had 94,000 views on YouTube compared to 350k for the...

Not sure what the ideal number for the women is based on current entries especially when you consider that 1/3 of the field is protected. That said at VDS there was 38 female entires going for 15 semi final spots so roughly 45 percent of the field qualified for semis compared to 186 men going for 60 slots - 33%...

I’ll be surprise if they pull it off. Track is going to be really soft judging by the videos of the rain today that riders are posting

Andorra was the race that had split pits but they were a few minutes apart. For creekside you most likely are looking at the village parking lots or function junction. Neither are great option when you factor in traffic. During the Olympics the general public couldn't drive past Squamish unless you were a resident with a pass or on a...

Would Snowshoe be a good EDR venue though? Sven Martin was speculating on Neethlings podcast that it would be an east coast venue that hosted an enduro race in that past like Burke or Sugarloaf. Not sure what DH at one of those would be like.

If the 1199 trail is going to be used as WC course I don’t see how it work. Creekside is too small to host the pit area and there isn’t really another spot close by.

GCN hasn’t even put out a recap show other than the highlights and click bait video on whether dh is too dangerous or not

Whistler has had riders testing the 1199 trail this week. Good looking course but it’s nothing like hardline but looks more like Val di Sole if anything. A few vids up on IG and Carter Krasney posted a top to bottom lap
For those interested and I think I got this right the men's protected riders are Semis Finn Iles, Loris Vergier, Andreas Kolb, Bernard Kerr, Laurie Greenland, Benoit Coulanges, Danny Hart, Greg Minnaar - all protected for semis for the whole season based on last years results Loic Bruni, Jackson Goldstone, Jordan Williams, Luca Shaw, Troy Brosnan,Thibault Daprela, Dak Norton, Charlie...
