Full podcast episode with Rob coming in a couple of weeks!

Sick to see Gwin mixing it up at the top of the results sheet.

Mack Manietta with a 2:32 in Jr 15-16! Less than two tenths back from Ronan Dunne, definitely a name to watch.

Ummm...we just gonna ignore that @owl-x threatened @bulletbass man with a "menzie simulator by mail" threat with the sole goal of making him more appreciate of the struggle of female downhillers? 🤣 I mean...y'all get on me for my random unintelligible posts but we're gonna just walk right past that kook show?

Nice memory. 2019 was quite a high-level edition. Win in class with making the decisive pass in the last hour I think. Top 10 overall was good. We can discuss about crossover by message, no problem. Good thing is MTB riders/engineers are already giving some ideas for sportscar too :-)

We hope so :-) There is a lot of smart people in DH so maybe they already tried what we have in mind. Will see but it's an interesting and quite exciting for us.

With the motorsport experience, Do you guys think you can bring something specific from that background to DH that is not already being done at World Cup level in DH?

I was at the rolex 24 in 2019 when you guys got your first win. That was such an incredible year for the race, some of the heaviest hitting lineups at the rolex in the last 10 years were at their best that year. If I recall correctly, you guys were only a few places off of the overall podium in your lmp2 car. I digress, pretty cool to see you guys engaging in other forms of racing. It would be really interesting to get some feedback from you all about what things crossover from one to the other. Some...

:-) Well, has a French, I can only say that the best cheese is French and near my hometown. Budget wise, full focus on material, components. I mean, we will not have a mega hospitality in Season 1 or the most beautiful set up of the paddock. We want to do things in the good way but it's performance/sporting first. Again like we do in motorsport : we are not the biggest team, but last year we fought with Corvette factory team, beat Porsche, BMW factory teams etc. Dont get me wrong, I am not saying we will bit the...

This is why we did not want too many French riders at the beginning. The team is American : the team principal, Elton Julian, is American/Ecuadorian. We have a workshop in Concord (North Carolina), with the GT racing cars, two trucks etc. Team also has one workshop in Barcelona, which is our base when we race in Europe, also with some race cars, truck, tools. DS always had this international culture : in the crew we have some Portuguese OR Brazilian engineers, Portuguese, Spanish or English mechanics etc. Yes I am French and living in the Alps between races, but...

DragonSpeed is doing sportscar/endurance racing since about 15 years. 24 Hours of Mans (1 class win), 24 Hours of Daytona (3 class wins) and other major races (+ 3 participations at Indy 500). European Champion in Prototype, doint World Endurance Championship, last year runner-up in GT Pro (USA) with a Ferrari, this year with a new Corvette Z06 GT3.R. Why MTB DH. The team principal (former pro driver) and myself, we are passionnate about MTB DH first (I did at low level when I was younger). Then, of course, all the technical aspects - suspension, brakes, tires... - and all...

Norco had me when they revamped the Norco Race Division with finger painting portraits. Just so completely different than any other team on the circuit. Now Brage and (fingers super crossed) Tippie? Norco is killing it.

Too close to a normal long travel enduro bike to make sense to me. 60nM / 350W assist is my lower threshold for assist if I’m buying an eeb. Ideally for me would be 70nm / 450W with range that could do 5k-6k vert that weighs 45lbs

Let's be honest here. Barring any accidents, the podium is going to be a variation of Jackson, Ronan and Asa.

You should definitely go for DH practices, because then you’ll be able to see the practices and race day. Because nobody on the planet (especially one with a username on vital mtb forums) would be able to watch practice and leave. You will stay. You will quit your job and leave your family if need be, but you will watch finals. Cmonbro
