Or learning how to select an appropriate shirt

He’s the only guy on the team that’s won a world champs.. before his leg break he was right up there, won a round and he was the rider that other riders were begging spectators for footage of his line choice. Great ambassador for the sponsors and the sport…. If Trek don’t resign him, he’s not going sit of the shelf and gather dust that for sure.

I can see it in his eyes…recognize it from being a dumbshit myself. He’s blaming someone else, he knows he did it to himself. A last straw situation and they called his bluff. been there.

2011 was the old frecaster days. Redbull was in control while the cost or holding a world cup increased. Cant blame the ESO/Disco for Champery not biding.

Trek would never let him race with a different manufactures helmet. That would put them in breach of contract of their commitment to 100% which would most likely give 100% the right to request their investment back from Trek which is mostly like tens of thousands of dollars. Trek prioritized a title sponsor over Kade who was likely on his way out anyways and Kade prioritized RedBull. Cant really blame either party.

It's always been divide and conquer. Guys from all over the world forming a union would only be galvanized to join a union that offers them legitamite BENEFITS. Life insurance, health insurance, travel insurance, sports insurance, retirement. That's a lot of money to go into a pool to help take care of these guys later in life. We all know there a few intelligent management style figures in the sport who could co-ordinate it. But the only way to drive it is expose the revenues that UCI & Discovery/ESO make so that they know their fair share to demand a...

Imagine this. I'm your title sponsor. I'll pay you $100,000.00 USD to race. You can pick any production DH frame in the world to run. We will buy 10 of them, repaint them and put the "team name" on it. You still picking GT?

If someone told me that the cycle of DH coverage would go from pre-recorded "live" broadcasts of DH around the world by the Outdoor Life Network (OLN) then transition to MTV as we pushed into X-Games territory, then both...then nuked into oblivion & abandoned after the ripple effects of 9/11 then cobbled together via FreeCaster (can VitalMTB do the next podcast interview with the founder of it?) then grew thanks to clips of Warner going ape shlt to be bought and amplified by RedBull all while RedBull was being persecuted for crippling freeriders in the desert to now being an...

That makes no sense. You can still set a reminder to go and watch finals (which you now see more of the runs/track). The live show lasts about as long as it used too on RB You've no obligation to watch semis and it's on YouTube anyways. Not on GCN. Seems a lot of people are blow in fans who actually came for free entertainment? As per your last point uci are now less involved than before not more. Seems you are just making a scenario up in your head that doesn't exist in reality?

They posted a bunch of feed posts for each round, and Stories on race days. Not being able to see those posts in your feed is a result of social media algorithms. If you go to their account/profile you can see all the clips they've been posting through the year. Spoiler alert: it's more than 4.

I commented on every UCI enduro post I saw on instagram this year, and that was about 4 comments in total. I had no idea who was even leading half way through which I usually know to the minute. I couldn't care less this year. DH I was a bit more involved in because they bothered to post anything.

Moimoi TV is the only reason I even remember enduro exists.

Obviously, it depends on the contract, but I'd put better odds on there being zero leniency for him not being on/in the right equipment anywhere at a race site. As it's been said, TFR has a lot of resources, so getting a sponsor-correct helmet probably wouldn't have been that hard with their obligation to 100%. Redbull was "probably" but definitely possibly not okay with things. You'd imagine that in an extreme situation, a plain helmet with RB logos would suffice for them. Sponsor obligations are a lot less forgiving than you'd think. It's one thing to be using/trying something away...

The coverage has been great this year, especially with the addition of Youth Gone Wild. Thanks Guys!

Name another sport that has a top five podium? 5 podium is a joke. It’s gold silver bronze may as well have everyone as a winner and give them a medal like in kindergarten this is the last year with top5 podiums at a race round.

With all the tire debate going on, anyone noticed Bruni running Argotal's? Can't understand why as Specialized have a similar tire that is supposed to be real good.

No room 4 water bottle. that’s like cable tourism 4 me 🤷‍♀️
