I just don't think it's okay to say junior men are allowed to make that decision, but junior women aren't. The top eight junior women would have placed within the top 15 elite women in Val di Sole...
UCI just announced in the Rider Communications that the road gap is closed for the Junior women in DH this weekend, B-line only. Its open for Elite M and W and junior men. i thought this was 2025? Why not let the girls decide for them selves whether they want to take the B-line or not.
I'm all for karma catching up on those who deserve it. Daves summary is spot on BTW. lemon gets it. " If you're innocent you don't typically pay off the victim and threatened publications with legal consequences if they report on anything."
Long time wc photographer D ave Trumpore left this comment on pinkbike in relation to Daprella not being included in any photos. " if you punch someone in the face and don't get charged with assault that doesn't mean you didn't punch them in the face... and often times money buys silence ;-)" supporting the allegations and rumours of a payout/ threat of legal action to sites. Is quite saddening to see allegations of such a nature be so easily brushed under the rug with money even in the small world of mtb.
Can we make a forum thread where people complain about edit music, its guaranteed every single time sleeper post something that isnt 20-40 year old generic rock and metal. Let sleeper be a creative. As a big metal guy, this slaps.
