Far from demanding? Maybe not at the speeds us mortals ride. Spomer, can you get the photogs to put together another slideshow of bike compressions, is there a place on this track to see that?

Seems like a troll/joke. As others have pointed out, you can win without a chain, so why would a better pedaling bike be a good choice? There are always complaints about this track, but I find the live feed really good (way better than fort bill for example), the follow cam of Brendan and Troy a year or two ago was mint, and even without taking into account the amazing outlier runs of Gwin's chainless and tyreless attempts, some of the past runs of Smith and Vergier right on the knife's edge are great to rewatch.

Spomer you win some cake for this post. You guessed the 1-2 punch for the first race with a new winner all the way back in January! Similar to your more recent poll, only about 2% (45 votes) in this poll picked Amaury as their top choice. Huge congrats to him.
Post race discussion: I had picked Vergier and Moir as some of my top picks, but their teammates (Luca Shaw and Dean Lucas) came closer to it this weekend than they did! I bet Vergier and Shaw spent the drive home talking about what it is like to come second to Gwin. Again, I love thinking back to Gwin getting...

Worse when it's happening to a friend. Or anyone for that matter. The camera was put down between the crash sequence and portraits BTW. I scrambled to help until medic arrived (in seconds) What made it better to stomach, one of the many great race doctors Dr. Nico Thumbb (real name) - Chile’s best hand surgeon was right there and cleaned and stitched Anita up on site. All the doctors getting around the tracks on bikes. Legends.

Anybody noticed that Cam Zink isn't mentioned anywhere? Why is that so, for a top athlete on YT? Also, YT is one of at least four direct to customer brands in Germany that all have about the same price point. The Capra received a lot of praise despite having a rear suspension that nobody can use at full travel because of its huge progressivity. Pair that with the heave and cheap quality of the frame and I don't get it. (I had the first generation Capra for a few weeks)

Fair point, and the data supports this. Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's [extensive factory support]. So then to shift discussion slightly, who aside from Minnaar/Gwin will win this year? Wouldn't be surprised to see Danny do it again if he gets accustomed to his new bike quickly enough. Bruni has only won in Cairns but undoubtedly has what...
Fearon, great answer! Hadn't considered him until now. He's undoubtedly got the speed, just needs the magic combination of confidence, luck, weather etc on the given day. I know we don't know a ton about the new Croatian track, but perhaps it will be the key to a new winner. No advantage for the experienced who have raced some of...
