30 women in finals would be a little silly. I just checked Poland and Les Gets results and there were 31 and 33 women in Q1 respectively. So basically everyone would qualify minus one or two riders? I'm not sure that many women would help the category? Surely some sort of competitiveness is needed to push riders. Maybe 20 in finals, especially if all these fast junior girls come trough.

2/25/2026 5:12pm Over the years I have been to 2 x World Champs in Australia (Canberra and Cairns) which where both ticketed. Leogang in 2014 was free to enter but is now ticketed. Val Di Sole in 2017 was ticketed and the World Champs will be ticketed. Lenzerheide in 2025 was ticketed.

Went to La Thuile and MSA last year. Both were ticketed for just around the finish line and of course you’ll need to a ticket if you want to take the gondola but you could just walk up and watch trackside. For MSA it was tix below the finish line, from the finish line up was free.

2/24/2026 2:01pm Went to Lenzerheidi in 2025 and the whole event was ticketed from Friday - Sunday, this did include access on the gondola on the DH days. Thursday practice was free to enter however if you wanted to access the DH course via the gondola you needed to purchase a ticket for that. There was a VIP area (at a cost)...

Apologies if this is too far off topic, but Escape Collective just announced they're now cash-flow neutral (they've been running a deficit since they launched). Pretty impressive when you consider how much high-quality content they put out and and doubly so that it's funded entirely by member subscriptions.

Nope. 100% identical track, the kids are just that fast. There’s some solid talent in Aus, but the path to Europe is hard and expensive.

From all the interviews I’ve seen everyone seemed relieved that the event was canceled.

2/2/2026 2:40am When Red Bull is the promotor who has the power to influence who is invited its not that insane. Amaury Pierron, Loris Vergier, Luca Shaw, Thibaut Dapréla and Sam Hill 10 years ago all would have given it a shake but haven't been seen at Hardline.

2/2/2026 2:33am Came to say the same thing. Sam is a legend, however he is pretty quiet on the socials, does the odd race, man of few words, isnt proactively chasing media and doing the moto life with his sons. Not really what a brand would be looking for in an ambassador.
