I hope Dak is not on gwin racing purely from a pay standpoint. Can’t imagine Aaron is in a position to offer our boy what he deserves

From how it ended with Gwin and later Dak it never seems like YT was interested in doing the "honorable" thing.

We’ll cover this on the pod in a few days, but the idea of Markus buying the company back isn’t all that surprising. One of the companies I consult for went through something similar: a private-equity exit gone wrong where the founder bought his business back from the PE firm for just 10% of the price he sold it for. Within a year, he had restored it to its former strength. The key difference here is Markus himself. He’s shown very little aptitude for running a sustainable business. While I don’t have all the financials, nothing suggests he can consistently...

Not gonna lie (and this comes from a trek hater). That thing is sick.

Nothing against Angel personally but he's gotten by many years in my opinion because of Martin's ties to every single one of the team's Angel has ridden for.

They did race together on Intense a couple seasons back. Quite possible that Gwin Racing doesn’t get a wildcard spot and maybe Aaron just uses his overall ranking in the top 50 to go to select races like he did this year. Can’t see why Dak would sign on given that uncertainty.

We should talk about chainstay length to celebrate

Isn't this the same crab layout as the older gen Rocky Mountain Altitude and Bird frames?

I have unofficial confirmation from a local shop that it's the new Bottle Rocket.

No, it does not. There are no 'sensors' measuring any sort of side loads from the chain or anything else. This is how these daft rumours about transmission come to be. You've just made a statement that isn't based on any facts at all. Did you just make up a guess at what you think it 'might' be doing or is that something you read elsewhere? Information on exactly how AXS Transmission works is freely available online from SRAM themselves.

A tale as old as time I fear...eth

I think wherever she ends up, she’ll be communicating mostly in French.

How sad. Since when did this forum become some kind of gossip column, bitching about pro riders who you don’t know personally and have probably never met? Stop this nonsense and just enjoy the spectacle. This season is becoming another classic. Hope it goes to the final round.

I can confirm Jackson was genuinely happy to win the World Championship

Pinkerton.

I find it hard to root against Jackson for a bunch of reasons: 1. He's obviously a generational talent on a bike. 2. He looks like he has fun every time he gets on the bike, whether it's practice, in a race or at the local dirt jumps. 3. (Maybe the most important to me) He seems to be stoked for everyone. He placed 16th in Les Gets and is reposting Ronan's winning run. He's almost always at the finish line, waiting to congratulate his competitors. He might be one of best riders on a bike, but he hypes up...
