Yup, they had a new Enduro almost entirely ready to go. Charlie had one to test in NZ and the bike just wasn't good enough to bring to production so they were forced to scrap it. Charlie's Stumpys are stock travel. At least they were up to this year. He was even on a 160mm lyrik last year but like all the sram athletes this year was contractually obligated to be on full flight attendant and the proto zeb

Between Cruz trolling, having the good news for Kolb, and Stupid Sexy Flanders, this is the best page of online bullshittery I've read in a while.

AARGH, Stupid sexy Kolb! 😖

Does this mean we’ll have to see Kolb in sexy speedsuits next year, too? Or are they only doing that with Jackson?

She would qualify to race anyways. She doesn’t need a team for anything but a paycheck

You guys might get a kick out of this. I was checking the live timing for the Lake Placid Q2 and was so psyched to see this. My first thought was, "How great would it be if they're all in the finals?" followed by "Minnaar must be loving this." So, I immediately took a screen shot, figuring it would be cool to post it that day. Still, despite how it turned out, it's a good memory.

I liked when you had folks decked out in Sherlock Holmes outfits, that's dedication to the craft. How long were you planning it 😂

Not making fun, joining in the fun! 🙌

He's been off canyon for years. He was on GT until it shit the bed earlier this year. He is just using old frames he has ATM.

if finn leaves I hope he goes to Orbea... just so we can hear everyone's feelings and opinions about that (bonus points for a lot more screen in screen shots of partners during a race run)

As good as Danny is, I don't think it's going to trend up for him anymore at world cups, sadly. Same goes for all the Norco elite males, I think they really need to sign someone that at least makes finals regularly and be a consistent top 10 threat. The next year both Alrans, Asa, Taylor, and Oli are moving up to elite, I imagine they'll take at least 3-4 spots consistently of the top 30, and maybe all 5 on a good day. Rude needs to find his form again, same goes for Finn. It's going to be really...

I mentioned this in the thread previously but 99% sure Danny is on a 2 year contract.

I think it will be a very interesting off-season. Many riders who were unlucky this season will probably stay on the track. The new UCI rules are not good for the majority of riders, especially since there is no feeder series. I assume that riders ranked below 22nd will have a very difficult time. Greenland, Hatton, Hart, Wilson are some of the ones I'm worried about. Wilson has a team, just like Gwin. But both riding and managing seem difficult to me today. Kerr is good, but his injury has ruined his season. There will be a big shake-up and...

I wish he would just quietly exit stage left.

Whole industry ignores him except when he podiums. I’d be willing to bet had he continued to podium after vds someone would’ve taken a chance. But his results haven’t been much to write home about outside of one weather affected race. And I imagine the majority of the Industry sighed a breath of relief when Troy took him off the hot seat. Ultimately even in a small sport like mtb if you can produce enough and shut up, people will start looking the other way. But ultimately there’s too many riders who are equally skilled without all the baggage. And...

Did anybody discuss the silly Daprela statement already? I know it's a dead horse but I just thought it was a laughably bad statement and wanted others opinions on how it shakes out for his career (ie, are things going to get better or worse): " Statement The end of the season is approaching, and I’ve really enjoyed each of the World Cup rounds despite some minor physical issues. However, it’s high time the false rumors I’ve been subjected to for the past two years stop circulating in the cycling community. All of this is unfounded. I hope to be...

OO on Trek would be sick. I think the Session is a pretty solid bike, and they need someone in the upper rankings like Loris used to be. Pairing him with Lachie would be pretty rad and make for at least two contenders week in, week out. I'm not sure about their current contract situation, but they've got three guys who have made only 2-3 finals appearances each this season (Hauser, Davis, Walker).

OO seems like he could win four races with trek factory racing. No idea why but that seems like a great fit!

Missed the last 3 races I think with a pretty bad concussion. He'd qualified for finals for the previous couple of races after some bad luck in qualifying early on in the season . That whole Trek team has had an up and down year with injuries and crashes but also podiums .
