Not exactly an innovation per se; but Raaw has started offering the option to rent a toolbox full of all their adjustments included. You get it for two weeks so you can decide if any of those adjustments make sense before you buy. And, get a discount when you do decide to buy something afterwards. Pretty cool idea. https://raawmtb.com/en-us/collections/parts/products/raaw-factory-suppo…

here's b practice embedded

a little too early to start drinking eh

Does this mean we’ll have to see Kolb in sexy speedsuits next year, too? Or are they only doing that with Jackson?

Can almost guarantee the bike Nina is on is not a "V10 prototype" - it's likely the next version of the Nomad, which may do what many have been asking for, accommodate a dual crown fork. Seems crazy to me that the current version Nomad cannot handle a dual crown. Speaking from personal experience, having a dedicated downhill bike is hard to justify for 99% of riders. But what makes a ton of sense is an Enduro bike that can also run a dual crown fork and properly cover park duties. Much more utility. I don't think this has anything...

Not making fun, joining in the fun! 🙌

Makes me feel as though they made a vital account just so they could prod at us hahahaha

..or his contract goes through the end of the year and can't annouce he's off until then

He was on a trek ! Went on the lift with him . At the momet I tought he was already on that team

No, points stay with the team. It hasn’t been totally clear in yt’s situation but yes it looks like they vanish. She’ll contribute zero points at the start but will carry a team up the ranks by herself. She alone would have been ranked 14th in the team standings

4 riders...I stopped counting at 13. LMS only did 5 all week, but I've got some secret sauce to keep air in the wombat's tires😉. Point being that it's the nature of the track.

Yup, they had a new Enduro almost entirely ready to go. Charlie had one to test in NZ and the bike just wasn't good enough to bring to production so they were forced to scrap it. Charlie's Stumpys are stock travel. At least they were up to this year. He was even on a 160mm lyrik last year but like all the sram athletes this year was contractually obligated to be on full flight attendant and the proto zeb

Is lobegate the new frecklegate?

Kolb to Syndicate Loz to Orbea for the 3 redbull helmets on 1 team.

Would make sense. No chance Laurie is getting re-signed...

@matvaillancourt1 posted this photo in 2025 team rumors thread. "spotted in MSA" - is it real? with teams having to be selected in the next month, stands to reason they'd get photoshoots done in MSA before everyone goes home.

I thought Troy was signed up with Canyon till the end of next year, he signed for two more years during October 2024. https://www.instagram.com/p/DBRo6FRyJcU/

There were a couple of clues in the live feed. As Kolb was climbing onto the stage whilst passing the race winning V10, Neko says " Is that his bike or Jacksons?", to which Rik replies "Careful!". In the interview Andi was asked why he was so happy to see Jackson beat Bruni. He gave a very diplomatic answer, which prompted Rik to say something like "He handled that question just as well as he handled his bike today". So I think Kolb to Syndicate is the done deal.

I’m hearing rumours that Troy’s contract is up and may be having a bit of trouble renegotiating with canyon, that could possibly open up a spot for Andi who shared the podium with Luca…
