Well considering that’s not a rumor and they are talking about racing expectations it could be argued this a as appropriate as the rumors thread.

You forget they are Swiss and Scott skis is not far from where they leave.

I’m not hating, but Sam Hill is 39 years old. Hasn't it been more than a decade since he won a UCI DH? Why are we talking about what his program is when everyone is cutting budgets? #flatpedalswinsmedals

Benoît trolling us..

My 403b make 28% last year What’s that about our economy doing poorly?

Its interesting to note the tariff talk has died down over the last few weeks. I can only assume they have done more modelling and realised people don't want to pay more for groceries, and acknowledge that it was a large part in the Democrats losing, and if they don't control groceries prices they'll suffer the same fate. The tariff threat could be just a ploy for Trump's administration to get its way internationally with a stick based approach. I still think they'll do something about solar panels that may trigger the trade war. The US has been left in...

Well it's 8.25am January 1 in Sydney, I have a belting hangover. Expecting to see 300 post with new signings, rumours confirmed, ratboy to ride a 3 shocked cannondale. Instead we get Sam Hill riding for his local shop. back to bed

Rocky is off Rocky.

Rob Warner commentary

This write-up is a long one that starts with some snark. Sorry. Here's the thing about words: They mean whatever they mean in the context of their use. To quote Run DMC: "Not bad meaning bad but bad meaning good." Just because a word looks a lot like much of "endurance" and a given definition of the word outlined it as "a ... race ... to test endurance" doesn't mean that the mtb race discipline named "Enduro" has to directly reflect the English word enduro to the nth degree. If we're being strict about words does it have to test...

Enduro doesn’t need investment from governing bodies. Nor governing bodies at all, just people with bikes who want to ride a bunch of sick trails with timers. Enduro is a mindset, professional enduro is dead but it was doomed from the start.

Enduro is not dead. World Cup enduro is dead, enduro was and always will be for the common folk like us.

Might be known already, but posting since it's news to me. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DEM9YQjsne0/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link… COMMENCAL SCHWALBE by S-AGENCY is over. 2024 has been the last season of this project. Three years of World Cup races, long weeks of teamwork and great vibes - We poured all our passion into it and we are really proud of what we built with this amazing group of people - that was true teamwork. Thanks to all the riders, staff and sponsors involved on this aventure. Here’s to the future! #youngfastfearless 🤍 @commencalbikes @schwalbetires 📹 @diego_manero_

Honestly, I think you're right and it should go back to weekend recap/limited livestream of key sections/stage. It should emulate grassroots enduro racing and focus on riding destinations where fans can easily get to watching parts of the stages or have a grand fanzone. I think there's also a lot of potential to use WC enduro as a feeding series for WC DH, as it would be at the top level (above the new continental series) but more accessible to new riders. Ultimately though, UCI isn't going to lift a finger to fix the format and neither will WB so...

I guess that means the awful drawn-by-a-child aesthetic is continuing into 2025. Really hoped that would not be the case.
