All

Still a few loose ends, but looks like this thread is pretty much wrapped up. And you know what that means? Time to head over to Vital MX for Supercross Season! If anything can top Gwin to Frameworks, it's the 2026 SX team changes. Tomac to KTM, Sexton to Kawi, Roczen & El Hombre kick starting it together on Suzukis, Bam Bam on a Ducati, brand new Yamahas for the Coopers, and Jett to possibly miss the entire SX series. It's going to be nuts on Saturday! 🤘

I'm not even from the USA and I'm stoked as hell for this!

Aaron Gwin on Frameworks is official. We have some cool pics from test camp and exclusive interviews with Gwin, Neko, and Aaron's mechanic, James McAllister here - https://www.vitalmtb.com/features/aaron-gwin-joins-frameworks-racing-tr… #USDH

Good lord this thread is cooked

Their enduro team was done last year but they graciously kept me on board for this year with my contract having another year on it. Sounds obvious of course, but the bike industry isn't always so giving. The DH team took me in and I had a blast all year long, which was the main reason for doing DH at the end of the year. I just wanted to hang out with the team some more, and who wouldn't take the chance to race World Cup DH while they can. As for next year, stay tuned.

enough product talk in team rumors.

So much chat about Dak, he’s 33, has had 5 podiums in his career (UCI DH) not exactly lighting the world on fire. Lets face it we love him because he’s an under dog and his comeback this year was awesome BUT, his injury was his own fault messing about on pit bikes at his home, if you are a big team and your rider injures themselves like that messing about on pit bikes you’d be asking questions. Before coming at me saying all DH racers ride moto in the off season yes I know but a pit bike is...

I’m sorry, but Daprela doesn’t ‘deserve’ anything. Racing at a World Cup level is a privilege not a right. It’s beyond just being fast, you also need to have certain aspects of professionalism and be enjoyable to be around. Regardless of what actually happened in the ‘incident’, his continued behavior in the aftermath is uncouth and any team should be hesitant for that alone.

Your UCI MTB WC Suspension sponsor will not be showing up with a 10x20 at two WC in the same continent they are based out of.....

Weather looks better than that forecast. Rain may hold off until Sunday night. It’s hot but cooling down

What bugs me most is how much he talks over his guests. Let your guest get out an entire sentence before jumping in and completely derailing the conversation, it's annoying af.

I haven't listened to this particular podcast yet, but Andrew neethling is a fooking idiot. He's never not putting his foot in his mouth. Like constantly stomping his own footb down his throat. I only listen to his drivel for milway and Sven. It's remarkable how out to lunch he is given his relatively illustrious DH career?

Fine if you feel that way, but I try to ask for riders opinions on the current state of the sport and also anything happening inside so people from the outside can learn more, Finns response was great and a lot people enjoyed his opinions. I interview riders who are doing well in the race, on race day my video is to tell the story of the race. I can't make a judgement on a case where no one actually knows the full story, and we never will it seems, so until then I will interview the riders who performed...

That was solid gold.

Can't remember which race, but it was on the WB broadcast for the final when Neko was the color commentary. something to the effect of "wow look at him charge that section, this guy won't take 'no' for an answer!"

Lawlor followed Finn, Lachie and Danny around Leogang for this episode of The Weekend.

1. it was addressed in this forum hours after it happened with the link to the carlson trackwalk video saying the b zone is around the jump in track and the timing banner being the course limit. 2. countless number of podcasts and people you just mentioned above talked about it after it was sorted here. the answers were out there days ago. doesn't change the fact course labeling was bush-league, but it's done and gone. all we can do is see how loudenvielle is laid out.

As far as polegate goes. Course tape works well.

Brother... Do their pit chairs have tiny Ohlins coils that actually function on the base? lmao
