All

Can't remember which race, but it was on the WB broadcast for the final when Neko was the color commentary. something to the effect of "wow look at him charge that section, this guy won't take 'no' for an answer!"

That was solid gold.

What was the nail in the coffin for you? The Jenna thing? ply explain thx

Out of interest did you see Adam Brayton's track walk vid at the Wales event? At one point he mentioned a line where there was a gentleman's agreement the previous year, which he said BK then broke. 🤷‍♂️

I wouldn't read to much into it , he probably has just had enough. He's been on the circuit a long time and had some pretty big injuries and maybe he just wants a change . What ever happens this season is imagine PFR will be racing next year on wildcards at least . People seem to have taken against BK recently , can't think why 😁

I think his comments about hardline TAS being unfair really were the nail in the coffin for a lot of people

Just listened to the latest OTB . They have osin to Trek and apparently Trek wanted him to sign in the mid season transfer window but YT wouldn't release him which is pretty rubbish considering they can't or aren't paying him . Makes his own kit purchase protest pretty justified I reckon.

Rumours from Lake Placid that Greenland was spotted shopping and that Kolb might be going to Syndicate. Also sounds like the main rumour on Oisin right now is Trek? Maybe Dylan Maples to SCOTT if this is the case?

So far rumors wise for YT riders, Kolb = Scott. Vali = Commencal Les Orres. Have not really seen any rumors for Oisin, he would be a great addition to a team, consistent top 10 rider. Also, what about Jack Moir, he is a great addition for a brand solely for his YouTube, the results are a bonus and when healthy can win any enduro race.

lol. Spomer just fanning the fires. Related but unrelated - why is the 2025 thread pinned but not this one? Surly we can move on.

Mad props to Dak!

I hope Dak is not on gwin racing purely from a pay standpoint. Can’t imagine Aaron is in a position to offer our boy what he deserves

From how it ended with Gwin and later Dak it never seems like YT was interested in doing the "honorable" thing.

The 13-14 year age difference aside, the really problematic part for me is the fact that he was/is still her boss, and that relationship began when she was a teenager. If he was her teacher or coach at school and they started dating shortly after she graduated people would be up in arms. How is this any different?

Rumor has it Kolb has been riding around on a Scott..

Bruni’s partner is looking ready to pop & due in October. Will he miss the final rounds to be there for the birth and / or after?

I would have thought that top section would be tighter too, but yeah, the spreads are way larger. Gracey was over 3 seconds back in the middle of the track, and somehow made up 6 seconds later on. GoPro Bike recently posted a side by side of her and Vali on their YouTube channel and it's insane to see the difference at the top vs bottom.

it's interesting reece brings les gets into it b/c (from the coziness of the internet, having never been to either venue) that track seems really similar to loudenvielle in that it's high speed and mostly "just dirt," no obvious rocky tech sections like vds or msa. i also thought that by race day loudenvielle was an extremely technical ride. it wasn't wheel-eating rocks, but that first steep left hander that caught people out, that left that bode burke hovered through, and all the other razor thin lines meant skill, delicate braking and bike setup was hugely important. i even find...
