In ski racing we were always told to get up and finish your run if you fell or missed a gate because of this exact situation. You may get lucky and have something happen further down the course that results in a rerun. IMO Hattie 100% deserved a rerun regardless of how her run was going up until that point

it's a "jump signal" using the same marker that indicates course barrier lines. jump signals should be red or diff color as to not be confused with course barriers.

I’ve never seen anything like this, why didn’t they let Hattie rerun the race? 🤔

Another jump further up the track is marked the same. B line to the side of the jump with pole markers on each side of the lip. On this one its a lot more clear the B line is still in.

awesome, thank you for the clarification! crazy that the same marker could be used to dictate multiple items on course (warning for a jump edge or the outside of the actual track).

Noticed that the demo has a free-wheeling pulley on the crank, haven’t seen this in any of the other shots. Maybe I missed it… Waiting on more details about the brakes. Between the new hopes and these I really want to see what gets released first. Hard to imagine that the project black brakes are actually Brembo. I have a Brembo MC on my track bike and this design aesthetic doesn’t scream Brembo at all. My 2c is it’s a specialized design ripping off TRP Smile Just like Lewis stole Trickstuffs patents lol.

Can we get a Vital Pre-Race podcast? I feel like I'm lost without it.

they just venmo me $2.79 per deletion. it's very rare we get asked to take anything down and in 16 years of being at vital, i don't remember any leaning/pressure from brands "if you don't do X, we'll hold back from working with you." just because something was here and goes away doesn't always mean we deleted it. we delete if asked by a brand b/c someone that shouldn't have had the info/photos/videos leaked the info/photos/videos or if an NDA was clearly broken. we don't delete if a product is out in public, if someone was careless with their hiding...
