If they can put lights on every corner of the track why not cameras?

Goodman Santa Cruz posted a pretty brutal video of Pontvianne going down hard just before where Vieira crashed. Looked like his back end stepped out and he got shot right into the bank. Different causes for each crash for sure though. Can't see any track changes on that particular section that would make it more dangerous than last year... maybe...

You forgot that they dropped the elite women's field from 15 to 10 riders before putting it back up (and tried to spin it that they were doing something positive rather than just returning it to the RB numbers).

I think it’s time for more riders and teams to publicly air frustrations. Changes under redbull 80 to 60 (not sure Red Bull was even behind it) Protected riders after Aaron won dropping early. They simply wanted the best riders by standings on the broadcast. Changes under eso Paywall No protection Intro of semis live on YouTube Semis no longer broadcast Semis now a qualifying 2 replay. 60 to 30 men. Not sure we were even hitting the limits in the women’s field most races under redbull. 10 women to 15 women. Entirely new, complicated way of being able to...

if the rules and enforcement of the rules go out the window, then why compete? the wind got sucked out of enduro often b/c of the easy ability to cut the course without penalty. lack of basic rule enforcement is hardly a recipe for a sport to be taken as seriously as the olybet PR makes WC sound. crazy that world cup DH racing (what i thought was the most simple and objective form of MTB competition) has so much subjectivity lately. lack of consistency in course boundaries, the idea that because you crashed doesn't mean you deserve a re-run...

THIS. and it was kind of an underlying narrative in the recent B line podcast, where Dak just barely missed the inside pole or whatever... and chose to pull off and hike up. but if this is the officiating we can expect... and pulling off is probly guaranteed 0 or close to 0 points... the UCI has just plastered a banner to all riders that says 'send it and let god sort em out'. typically, integrity should be enough of a reward to stay inside the poles. but if cheaters get rewarded, then you've ruined the delicate balance of doing...

Haha good catch. Tires don't typically make things wet (that is unless you get really excited about casing technology and rubber compounds).

I don't want to sound disrespectful, because I love the fact that company representatives from Schwalbe and other brands are active in our humble Vital forums, providing useful info and clarification. But with all due respect... DAMPING
