Bro I was around it in the 90's/early 2000's, You wanted outside sponsors? Holy shit companies were literally throwing money at teams. The sports identity wasn't what I would call professional at all lol. It's just swings and roundabouts, back then MTB was the coolest thing since Kriss Kross and Baggy Jean shorts. What a time to be alive. Our time will come again.

I think it's illegal to use bald eagle units for a Metric country bro! interesting that some of the DH/Enduro are on the same weekend, Masters brothers, Antoine Vidal etc will have to make up their mind as to which one to race. Knowing Wyn, he will somehow do both the mad unit!

I've made this handy info graphic to explain the UCI in a nutshell, thanks for attending my TED talk.

Warner won't be unemployed. He's already said he is working with Red Bull next year, my guess is he is on a contract with them for X number of years. He does other commentary work apart from DH and XC like X-fighters

A few big names don’t even qualify in the top 30 as is.. at this rate they’ll need to consider bringing back 4x to give the rest of the riders something to do. £20k on top of what the teams already pay, the cost of accommodation and travel…. They’ll be a few heads on the chopping board come the end of the season.

Was anyone else impressed with Fort Bill last week and just how many riders were vocal about concussion related injuries that led them to not compete? That's a bug step forward in our sport

I hope not, GMBN presenters are unwatchable for me

if you drop it to 30 riders you cant have protected riders IMO. imagine this, your a young Aussie/Kiwi, you save up hard for 2 years to live the dream in a Ford Transit van and eating nothing but Service station food and drinking cheap Czech beer for 4 months of summer. Your bike has cracks in the bottom bracket junction, the tyres are bald, your derailleur is making some fucked up noises, but you picture that young Sam Hill, Nathan Rennie or Masters brothers and think "I can do that too" suddenly, your chance of qualifying halves, you have...

They will- 1.Up the min UCI points to race at WC events. 2.Only allow UCi registered trade teams. 3.Stop national governing bodies getting wildcard entrants. 4.Slash number of qualifying riders. 5.Award races to the highest bidder regardless of the suitability of the venue (especially seeing as they want multi discipline venues to save money) This will be justified by saying "that WC represents the highest pinnacle of the sport, catering for the best athletes and these changes will allow us to present the best racing we have ever seen.....So shut up peasants, we own it now,so stop whinging or fuck...
