Durango is hosting world champs in 2030, and most likely a world cup in 2029 from what I remember.

def partying, not political 💩

rumors are there could be additional races dropped into the existing calendar (hypothetically a DH in the SLC area and XC in vancouver area, making the last two rounds doubles). let's hope so!

Little birdie told me the SK promoter embazzled money. Government froze payments until investigation is complete. Warner Bros. and even some racers are still awaiting their bag…

I think you misspelled ‘cold’.

Rosa has signed a long term with Cube.

I hope not, besides being absolutely atrocious looking, that Scott DH bike looks like it is awful. Benoit, Dak and Jess seem to have fallen off a bit since joining that team.

Peizerat is the skier

Do we know if she will actually be racing DH next year? Wyn had some discussions with her where she wasn’t sure if she would. She’s at the top of alpine ski racing too, and if she decides to go into elite with that sport then there won’t be time for DH. AFAIK ski racers are paid more so that might be a tough decision.

All good questions but Pom Pon is not retiring yet.

And props to her being open about it. Her results in 2024 were phenomenal and showed her talent.

That one hits hard. Props to her and endless props also to her dad for fighting for his daughter.

Ella Svegby has shared her battle with anorexia and why she hasn't raced over the last two years, signing off with a planned comeback to racing next season.

Sorry to re derail the topic (not actually sorry). The top quintile for France, for total household consumption (all income, benefits, & public benefits) is about $49,000 USD. The 2nd highest quintile is about $38,000 USD. The average household income for the LOWEST quintile in the United States is $35,000 a year. The second lowest is $50,000, slightly higher than France's top quintile. This is the quintile that includes all French millionaires and billionaires. Keep in mind that the average household size in the United States is larger than France too. The average price of gasoline in France, converted to...

Ah yeah while we're at it let's give them a power couple name like Fahnee

In his defense, getting paid for any amount of time vs not getting paid sounds pretty good even if leaves you in a position where you're somewhat unsure.

I've been sponsored by "Your Mom" for almost 2 decades & promoters never leave my team off the results sheet. Since she started backing me, it's been very rewarding for both parties.

The riders are NOT earning more due to the WB deal. Overall they are getting the much the same, while as the teams have to fork out more to even be present there will be less riders getting paid moving forward. The UCI is getting paid vastly more, but that increase is NOT translating into more money from the UCI into mountain biking. It's a con job by a bloated corpulent and corrupt organization frankly.
