XCO and DHI should be in the same place. Splitting it up does not help.
Added reply in a thread Is straighter and faster really that bad for a World Cup track?

Funny, my question would be how would he have a bike sponsor? There are a ton of washed up used-to-bes that still want to ride their bike for a living. The return on investment isn't there for a guy who isn't racing or competing at the highest level and garnering the eyeballs to go...more

There are a lot o legitimate deals out there for people who don't race or don' have the results, but are awesome ambassadors for the sport. Because being a good racer doesn't make you by default the best ambassador. To be honest, the ”frameless post on Instagram feels a little bit...more
