“ MoscoOne wrote: Katy couldnt fill in her forms properly.“ Making fun of a rider for having dyslexia, particularly when they have very recently addressed publicly that it’s a hard thing for them to be open about due to teasing and bullying, is just truly low behaviour and is not appropriate on this forum or anywhere else. If this is something you would do, or think is acceptable, please fuck off.

There’s no place for that attitude here, I suggest you quieten down or find positive things to say. Straight up, people are losing their livelihoods this year and they’re going to be in turmoil, put yourself in their shoes and be kind or keep your hate in that thick skull.

Luckily racing and results are more complex than your opinion

A couple of podiums and a few years ago a top five rider near on every race. Yeah, never a top rider…

It's officially official - Dak has joined Mondraker Factory Racing. Video interview and podcast are live now. We recorded this last week, so we will have to cover #frecklegate in the next podcast haha

This deserves its own thread, but unless you are looking at the contract first hand, take everything with a grain of salt. I've negotiated on behalf of a handful of professional athletes in adjacent sports as an "agent" (LOL) and I've also watched people flat lie about what they were making to feel better about themselves. I get it. Its a topic riddled with insecurity. While I'd wager there are more athletes making $100-200K+ than most think (I'm including influencer types and freeriders in this), its a terrible career choice in every sense of the word "choice". If I was...

I agree 100%. Ride and race for the enjoyment and the time with your kids. But sometimes it works out and its just a bonus on top of all the great time and learning you do with your kid.

Hello to all in this ' strengthen' chat and forum. Todd Schumlick from PerformX Training here. Great to see some you are interested in off-bike training, specifically strength training for MTB. I just had a friend fire me a message about this forum chat....so I came over and created an account! Reading through this chat, it looks like many of you have some great advice. This is definitely a good time of year to add some strength training, so that your fitness isn't too "one dimensional" (only developed on-bike). With the PROPER strength training program, you will not only improve...

I dont know anything about Dak, but Ryan has gotten his fastest times ever on the bike on runs he knows very well and can make good comparisons. Mondraker is keen to make the bike fast and and is making that a priority. So I think whomever is on the bike will do well.

50 people have said where Dak is going for the last 2 months and yet a bunch still don't get it. Amazing.

Thank you!

I live in Nice so am quite biased! Depends how much moving around you want to do but: Finale is obviously the go to for foreign bikers, a ton of companies operating shuttles straight from downtown, so the non-bikers can hang out near the beach, you guys can pedal to the uplift van which usually includes a guide (~50$ per person for the day). I have not actually ridden there, but Molini di Trioria looks amazing, it is halfway between Nice and Finale, you can stay in San Remo which is effectively the Italian Nice/Monaco with casinos and lots of...
