😮😮😮

We're 2 weeks out from the whiteface race. Haven't seen very much at all about the track other than a handful of social media shots.

...surely Derailleurment

Huge problem on those World Cup bikes that never get rebuilt

that track looks so difficult and so rough on wheels/tires! are they (well dak at least) now gapping over the thread-the-needle rock? dak at 2:18

From Jackson's preview, is this the narrowest section of track ever? I mean it's like 2 feet wide over a blind crest with the poles hidden behind one of those tough blocks. Seems like it is designed to get someone DQ'd. I don't think the two poles directly behind the block were there for trackwalk.

Freeracing ain't dead! Yeah Theo!

And this is why shops never throw anything away.

How does everyone want to celebrate once we hit 1000 pages on the thread? I was thinking maybe we could all go to Chilis and share a Triple Dipper. lmk.

I know a lot of people like to cr*p all over UCI, but I think changing to the Q1/Q2 thing and doing away with the Protected status have contributed to making this an incredibly exciting season. Now, if they (by they, I mean the broadcasters) would just consider streaming the Elite qualifying rounds and Youtubing the Junior finals next season .... I'm really amped for this week's race and the last 2 races.

Asa just signed a 3 year contract this spring with FW. Speaking of FW, woof. Those updated team rankings. I though junior got the same points at elite? Angel being out all season and Anna just coming back from injury is rough.

Fucking LLMs will be instrumental for accelerated enshittification of absolutely everything.

@grok is this real?

@ron_goldstone, congratulations for raising an upstanding young man who is behaving in a manner that I find very impressive for someone his age and with the amount of attention and pressure he lives with. Jackson is a fantastic ambassador for the sport and true professional. He is also incredibly fast and his racecraft is phenomenal. His POV track previews are my favorite. The future of DH is bright with the latest generation to step onto the podium. This season ain't over yet! So far it has been fantastic to see so many contenders for the win. The field is stacked...
