I've been itching to try Shimano levers with the DB8 calipers. I think it'd be a neat thing to try.

Cuz when a friend gives you the levers and keeps the calipers you end up with the levers and not the calipers

Huge thanks for bringing this level of commitment to DH racing!!!

Shark attack jack. Back to WCDH for frameworks next season. Wins worlds. BOOM SHACKA LACKA

He’s had dji on his jerseys for a year.

Since you guys are talking about Sam Hill, this is pretty timely - a brand new mini documentary on the man himself!

:-) Well, has a French, I can only say that the best cheese is French and near my hometown. Budget wise, full focus on material, components. I mean, we will not have a mega hospitality in Season 1 or the most beautiful set up of the paddock. We want to do things in the good way but it's performance/sporting first. Again like we do in motorsport : we are not the biggest team, but last year we fought with Corvette factory team, beat Porsche, BMW factory teams etc. Dont get me wrong, I am not saying we will bit the...

Um doing Hardline is about the most pro biker thing you can do.

Much better taste and less painful hangover.

The staff will be the "chaperone", we have other women is the crew too. Zoé is feeling safe and she is safe. No question about that.

@sspomer isn't there another thread for this exhausting debate?

No problem, I didn't take your message as aggressive. I have to say I was expecting more "sporting" questions, like who is DragonSpeed, why a sportscars racing team is coming to DH, what are our goals etc. Regarding Thibaut, we discussed about this with him and the partners. You can imagine I am not the only one to be convinced and to decide. We chose the riders together, and the partners are happy with all of our 4 riders, including Thibaut. We had no potential sponsor that said "no" because he is on. Thibaut brings performance, I think we all...

How is the mood in the team regarding Daprelas allegations and departure from other teams in recent seasons? do you feel comfortable having younger female racers around someone with SA accusations?

You sure about that? Seems like you are making a culture fight out of a discussion that has nothing to do with anything with the us. One might think you’re American yourself. fans would love a Sam Hill good bye tour. Hope monster and mondy get him out there a bit more the coming years.

dude what are you doing? Sam Hill! Pick another target!

Yeah- I just got curious after this Jack Moir video: https://youtu.be/Kj7WuJ6d_vs?si=paQbx0AjeF3yviJc Mostly want to test short bike vs long bike. When I do the testing- will try to normalize tires and swap the fork/front wheel between bikes to keep everything as similar as possible. Here are the numbers:

What’s weird is this tiny little corner of the internet sort of proves its own argument regarding Sam Hill. He may be, results wise, past it; but there’s still plenty of fans who love him and are interested in who is (or isn’t) sponsoring him even if that is limited to 2 races a year and a few instagram photos. Trading on past performance rather than current social media savvy, yes, but a right he has imo 100% earned. There is going to be a point where the support tapers off and he gets forgotten but he’s not there yet...

Its micro marketing and not meant to be a global marketing campaign i would guess. Clearly doesnt move the needle as much as lets say sponsoring an athlete like vali, but will probably also just cost a fraction. I have no clue, but could be that trp doesnt sell as good in germany, hence give a guy from germany a couple of the brakes and he might help sales there. This guy is well known around here, but not only because he does youtube. I have seen him doing comunity stuff like shaping dirtjumps in free acces areas with local...

ex top40-50 rider turned influencer. can ride a bike properly unlike others and is quite well known in the german speaking hemisphere
