Thanks, edited again for Beaumont in 2006. Leave it to the diehard fans to have a better memory of races over two decades ago than any resource on the UCI website, cheers guys. I see Shaw as more of a podium threat than a top stepper, at least at this time. Similar to how someone else described Moir. Loris has...

I watch the hell out of BCPov. He might not be the most charismatic dude out there but the trails are amazing and it's filmed well.

Who will be the next first time World Cup winner? Most recent winners who are still actively racing (in order based on the year they got their first win), this is mostly to display how rare a new winner is!: 2001: Goat Minnaar 2004: Gee Atherton [i]2005: Sam Hill (including him since he raced one world cup last season, and...

fun house Started a new thread Let's Nerd out on World Champs History

With Gwin being so dominant during the World Cups over the past several years, but always being slightly off the mark during the World Champs, I was curious to see how many seasons had concluded with a rider claiming both honours: a double World Cup Champion and World Champion. The answer: Not many and not often (at least for Men's)...

Remember when the schedule was released for this year and there were only 6 races planned? I guess we are somewhat lucky there is a race at all.

Before we're 100% onto Leogang, out of curiosity will there be a Vital Ft. W race recap video like you did for Lourdes? I sent that one around to some family and casual fans. Increase the tribe.

fun house Added a comment about feature WINNING BIKE: Alexandre Fayolle's Polygon DH9

Also want to point out that before the conditions were terrible, and some of the top riders were only really wind affected at the top (pre rain), none of them could put a dent in Fayolle's bottom section. It wasn't like they were losing time at the top but then clawing it back in the bottom half were they were more unaffected. Fure sure Vergier/Bruni/Hart/Gwin/Minnaar/Brosnan would have been likely to match or best that time, but his run was sick regardless. Too bad it wasn't part of the live broadcast.
