Ahh well.... F*ckit, anythings better than hearing vuvuzelas!!

confirmed, lebron on canyon

Just like the UCI website.

US site still has every size available for Comp and Expert in both colorways.

Loris off Trek and on Muc-off/Commencal

I thought boost was the only mode!?!? The others are get home mode

On site facilities like bathrooms, water etc are all issues. Shuttles and parking would also be issue with spectators and large field of riders.

Yeah, started with Norba races back in the day, so I have been in the game for a while ;p. I totally agree with you that DH needs to stay weird and it's not like a stadium where your stuck next to the person. That said they just drown everything else out. From a rider perspective I don't mind it as much. It does feel cool coming into a wall of sound when you are riding.

Curious, have you been to a race? I've been to more than I probably should admit to and always loved the noise making machines of any kind, especially as a racer. Its fun. "...but if everyone brought a chainsaw..." Yeah, I know, they won't. As the above posted alluded to there is culture to it, and frankly you, me or anyone doesn't get to "decide the culture". Plus, IMO its a bit lame to try and halt something thats been around for well over a decade just because you don't like it. Its a collective thing, and I like the...

Last I heard the release of the range extender got pushed to spring 2025. We'll see if it gets pushed again. Seriously though, marking an E-bike above 45 lbs as a lightweight is a crazy amount of kool-aid from marketing. Keep it around 40 lbs or lower. There are full power, long travel options out there only 3-5 lbs heavier.

Here you go Pic in case the post gets deleted...

Damn looking at the top teams and ideal best team, looks like on rainy races you should just buy all the cheap guys and not risk any budget on riders over 100k! One suggestion for next year, is keep the same fantasy structure, just make wildcards more expensive to incite us to "bet" a little more on podium contenders and winners, rather than "diversifying our bonds" on the outliers. E.g. if Loic is around 200k make a regular finals qualifier around 150 (e.g. Minaar and Estaque) complete outliers have a lowest price of ~50k.

amaury's POV

He sure did. KT Taped that damn hand to the bar on a beast of a track in the wet. Commitment!!! Can see it his whole run, but really good at 4:12 https://youtu.be/0yY463qPEYk?si=dmTcqsHNNs8vbl1X&t=250

Put them in a hat, pull one for the win, then give everyone else a volume reducer as a token gesture.

k, i guess all set for tomorrow. looks like another exciting DH race where nobody is safe but... as its drying up the top riders are finding that consistency. also since spomer called out thirions value hes 99.99% crashing out in finals. insider trading! (puts on tin foil full face)

semi finals results/write-up. thankfully oisin protected (not really sure why with his 19 plate, but glad he is). anna newkirk and nina hoffmann also protected. weather looks.......#barf https://www.vitalmtb.com/news/news/results-elite-semi-finals-uci-mounta… remi thirion only $60k in fantasy!

Oisin and Ronan have surprised me with their consistency considering their riding is hectic!
