Apologies for the political banter. Not psyched to see Gwin perpetually lit up just because he believes something that might go against the "norm" in bike culture. Back to the topic at hand, I think this outcome is the right outcome, despite how much of a gut punch it has to be to Austin. His time is coming, clearly. (and I hope he kills it in Maribor!) Sure would love to see Gwin pull something special out come race day in Italy this year.
