So much boring shit No custom-geo, long travel hardtail mullet titanium gearbox bikes? (Nordest cycles btw) No TRP 2.3mm rotor brakes? Ebike/DH inspired. No DVO onyx love? There’s a coil for first 30% of travel..plus the ebike single crown version has 45% more bushing height than a fox 36..DVO is wayyyy ahead of the game. No Ochain love? The spider attachments that dramatically reduces pedal kickback on your bike...? (Won world cups this year) No RXR R-Pro air-inflated chest/spine guards? If you slam hard enough the guard will actually ‘blow off’ and act as a crumple zone...intelligent. Refined. No mention...

Gwin usually finishes higher than his quali times and he’s been getting faster every race this year. If I recall correctly, he qualified 10th last race and finished 4th in the race, so I’d put him in the top 10 easy unless he has a crash or mechanical.

Eddie doesn’t even have Gwin in the top 10? He must be smoking crack.

https://www.uci.org/inside-uci/about/mission-vision-values I don't see promote soda in their mission ;-) I agree anyway that blaming UCI won't help ... well maybe they could be a bit less greedy to give a chance at some regions. There's more to blame on USA cycling for failing at providing robust national and regional racing. It's insane that a state like California doesn't have several USA cycling chapters promoting racing in the state. It's all on the shoulder of private promoters. Finally, we the riders are also the one to blame. We are consumers but we are not giving back much, we rarely pay...

Nice! Though I don’t get why you put enve logos on the wheels eventhough they’re not enve... same with the handlebars.

To me this is clear cut DQ. Spomer, I second or two before your screen grab you can see the top of the pool bend under the rear wheel and come out on the right side of his bike (i.e. rear tire was completely outside the pole). He also totally blows up the tape between the pole he hit and pole above it with the rear tire. That's OB. It's not like he hit the pole with his bars and the tape broke. It was the his rear wheel that's on the ground. I agree with others saying I don't...

In any other sport that has boundaries, (Football) out is out. It doesn't matter if it is intentional or not. I get that it is unfortunate to be dq'd for a fraction of a second out but the rules are what they are. Can you imagine people cutting poles like the one at Leogang that would give clear advantage. It has already been said but, you can't just pick and choose when to enforce rules. My hope is that this was simply missed by whoever has a say.

Definitely a DQ if the UCI want to be consistent with their rulings, Bernard tried to argue this as he was DQ'd years ago for something similar, but the UCI Comm argues it wasn't intentional. Bernard gives his thoughts in my WynTV up later tonight.

do you guys not see his tires to the left side of the pole in that screen grab? riders can smash through the pole with body and bars all they want, but tires can't break around the point of where the pole is in the ground. angel's do. if that pole was shin-high there wouldn't be a debate, would there? if this was between poles and he brought tires back inside, no issue either, but he's outside the pole, on the pole. the other rule in play here is the protest time period, which is now over apparently. so that...

This is a clear cut DQ. You can't pick and chose when to apply rules and he clearly was on the left side of the tape.

a rider's intention is never a deciding factor. this would be a dq in a slalom run for sure.

Yeah, I’m not buying it. There is nothing especially light on that build to make it 32lbs.

I agree on the fender. I hate those things. Proper fitted and curved fenders like mud huggers look and function much better.
