She had a crash before the guy was on course. No rerun is the right call. Clean run before the guy and re run certainly needed. IMO.

super cool POV with Brake Ace data laid over top - Dante Silva and Tyler Ervin on Telonics - figured it goes best in this thread.

So stoked to see a proper enduro race and good coverage of it! Warning, mini essay on the state of Enduro ahead! I know the that downhill is more spectacular, and it’s certainly easier to cover, but there is something about proper enduro that really draws me in. One aspect is definitely that it’s more relatable — it’s the kind of riding and racing that I do. I can easily imagine just how fried they feel after 4 big days, or a after completing a long taxing stage where you’re just hanging on. But even moreso, it’s the narrative of...

Personally I think there are plenty of storylines and content for a boots on the ground live audio only or desk show punctuated with clips/media/info from roving reporters. Just need to see what Bex Barona managed by herself on Instagram this past wee end to believe it could work. Honestly if you got the right host/hosts I would just listen/watch them chatting shit about the live timing results rather than refreshing the stupid page myself.

2nd (and final) day racing highlights:

After watching the recap from day one, it looks like Rudeau switched to a 36, so I guess the answer is that he we wanted a little less travel and a lighter fork. I can’t post the screenshot I took for some reason but you can see it pretty clearly at 14:45 in the recap video. On another note, I’ve been really encouraged by the coverage so far this year! The practice highlights, and particularly the day one recap with interviews at the end of the day, feel like they do a much better job of capturing the vibe of...

0.3 seconds over 48 minutes of racing is 0.01 PERCENT difference in time, that is unbelievable. I cannot wait for the next rounds have in store.

Onboard with Jacko for the first day of racing -

I've just start mixing up my own sealant. Particulates I'm using are bio-glitter and natural rubber bits/shavings (taking advantage of offcuts from work, I use a 36grit roloc sanding disc and turn the offcuts into shavings). Did some test punctures on a random tyre with a tube in it by injecting the mix through the schrader valve. I then poked a 2mm nail through the tyre and tube and it sealed instantly. I then upped the ante and sliced a 6mm gash through the tyre and tube which it sealed up also.

I’ve been in Finale this past week on vacation, and it’s rained everyday. Not a ton, but enough to make some trails slippery, while others were tacky and perfect. The weather has changed every day (currently it’s sprinkling and cloudy), but it looks like it will warm up over the weekend and be drier. It doesn’t take too much sun to dry up a lot of trails, but there always seems to be some slick turns and puddles when you least expect it. The trails that are being raced on above Pietra have been closed all week. But I know...

yeah I've thrown in Sawdust and kids glitter, not sure if it made a difference, but when I changed tyres it looked like I'd been at a strip club.

https://ucimtbworldseries.com/news/warner-bros-discovery-sports-present… So enduro gets it's own "Drive To Survive" this year. Could be brilliant, could be cringe. For the love of enduro, please let this be good.

First round of the ewsdr or whatever they are callling it this year next weekend and the course map has been released. Around 100km and 3100m of climbing over 2 days so looks like they are going back to bigger days out again.
