@sspomer would it be possible to get a link-checker integrated? "Thanks for your post, the link you are including has been posted 37 times in the last 2 weeks on pages X, Y, Z...., are you sure you want to post it again?"

Gwin to Frameworks! (Throwback 2023 rumors).

I’ll repeat my previous comment , congratulations to Bailey Goldstone on 3rd place this weekend, great to see a CDN on the podium

What does this mean? I can’t figure out the sentence structure, especially with the forced vagueness.

This year‘s thread giving me bad socioeconomic vibes.

Good move for Rivian.. They have pushed themselves as an outdoor adventure vehicle and sponsoring someone in the MTB world ties in to that. Even before this announcement, they were my pick if I had the funds to buy an EV..

I don't want to be a WB/Chis Ball/UCI apologist (you guys have already accused other users of being UCI plants in this thread), but can we compare the qualification criteria before the changes to what lawn dart and others are seemingly up in arms about now, in particular with reference to Rachel Atherton? Like, what was her path to race after a few years off under the previous system? Win a bunch of regional races and she's in? Functionally, is the current system harder than whatever she had to do before?

I wouldn't think Windrock can meet the uphill riders per hour requirements of a world cup.

I always considered this a "heard it on the bush telegraph" thread rather than a "make some shit up for my own entertainment" thread.

"heard that Wyn, or Gwin" Do you mean you literally overheard someone say *wyn was spotted on a hyper, and you weren't sure if they said Wyn, Gwin or any other -win name, presumably because you were hiding in the closet, covertly listening in to one side of a phone conversation, or perhaps even using one of those spy-radar listening device things? If so, that is the kind of team rumour I am here for.

Are people not literally looking back literally 1 page to see that this has already been covered?

Lets be honest, the difference between tuned boxxer and 40 is negligible, both are absolutely capable of winning races so I doubt performance is the answer, more likely its the money. Also dont forget the current itteration of Commecal team with Pierron and PomPom started on SRAM

With Trek's announcement today, it looks like #2 "Gwin back to Trek" fantasies have come to an end. Perhaps being a part owner of another bike company was a deal breaker. All eyes on you Dan Atherton.

Or perhaps it is because Finn was born in 1999.

And I thought the #99 was a Gretzky-thing...

Just giving a shout out to the moderators here. That guy……

They have the opportunity to do something very funny by poaching Wallace from Giant.

He's done all of that, and riders should be flocking to his team to get coached by him, but they haven't picked anyone up yet, that has to mean something.

I dunno man, the BK rep around Surrey is very murky to say the least… even without Jenna in the mix.

Ok ill say it with my chest then. It's Pivot. I like the brand and BK is a bad look for them. I want them to do well, but in my opinion, they have to get rid of him and his Baggage to succeed.
