not sure just duplicating will do much good with our setup as our values are prob way different (they had gaetan vige at $280k and amaury at $240k. doesn't seem like an accurate real-world value). we'll basically be in the $1000/point potential range. no elite will be more than $250k and no junior more than $60k. if our value structure is lame after ft bill (don't think it will be), we'll adjust moving on, but most will have teams of 8 or 10 riders or more i'd imagine. anxiously awaiting official start list to get this thing going! looks like...

fyi, our fantasy league has soft-launched. rules, prizes etc are here with a "join league" button at the bottom. if you've already joined, you'll see "manage team" button instead. as soon as the official start list for fort bill comes in, we'll be rolling and you can start building a team. i'll create a fantasy-specific forum post, but all you hardcore race fans, LET'S GO! https://www.vitalmtb.com/fantasy

Great race, great coverage and press conference too. Bummer for Kailey Skelton, that was a brutal crash and she would have obviously won otherwise. The men were killing it too! I can’t wait for the world cups to start and see the American’s rip it up. I feel like this is the largest amount of talent we’ve ever had.

It's pretty close to the tyre, I'd guess it moves nicely out of the way under compression.

Soooo how easily can you just swap the gearbox for a motor?? We need more downhill e-bikes. Intense—be the change you want to see in the world.

I wasn’t looking for the race recap, I was looking to watch the race replay, without knowing who won. And the post race press conference ideally should be available right after the race broadcast weather live or a replay. I guess knowing the outcome of the race in advance of watching the actual race may not bother some, but I’m sure most people would rather find out the outcome while watching, regardless of what year it is. I totally understand and appreciate jacks response and I wasn’t trying to be a dick, just anxious and looking forward to watching the...

valid complaint. I think the excitement of us having the first press conference on this side of the pond may have overtaken our judgment and wanted to get it out ASAP because all parties were so pumped on it. but makes perfect sense.

the replay is quite an undertaking, but it will be out any minute now + it being the first race there were some growing pains with timing and things of that nature b ut in the future they will come out on the same day or we will be first unfortunately for you I'm afraid. Sponsors, teams, and fans, want us to have this out as soon as possible. Not to say that won't change in the future. Hope you can understand and appreciate the undertaking for media and staff for the first race of a brand new season. Just...

Are they going to have a race replay on YouTube? And why have the post race press conference before showing the race. Kind of a spoiler. I’ve intentionally been trying to not see the results so I can just watch the replay, but of course I’ve already been spoiled on the men’s race winner!

Nice build! It's certainly impressive how light it is, and it's clear you've crafted it to suit your personal tastes. Everyone's preferences are different, and it's great to see such diversity in bike setups. Personally, I lean towards 29ers with a long dropper, wider gearing, burly tires, and inserts, but that's just what works for me.

These are the e-bikes we all want - lots of travel, decent battery and 2-4kg lighter than what currently exisits. My Giant Reign E+1 in size XL weighs over 26kg! As a 100kg guy thats not so bad to ride but losing 4kg off that would be very nce.

This looks like a great bike. Probably really fun and capable. BUT I will never buy a bike with headset cable routing in any implementation
