Looks like Radon just leaked the Charger 3.1 Lyrik.

Asa's time is currently 2nd fastest of the weekend- only Bruni went faster in qualies. SHEESH

So now we got TT winners. Qualy winners. Semi winners. And then actual winners. Boy howdy you gotta win a lotta races to race these days lol

Asa had to pass the Spanish kid in front of him and possibly another in his qualifying run.

I know he is a total alien on the bike, very Nico like where he just does things not possible on a bike-that being said, the practice clips yesterday he looked out of this world....Love to watch him ride a bicycle.

i keep checking world series youtube live page and don't see anything yet. https://www.youtube.com/@uci_mtbworldseries/streams - really hoping they do though! raw in an hour two according to lawlor. can't wait!

Asa's first run. Track looks good, only 1 or 2 low speed sections the whole track. Few line choices

Here's another thought on Amaury's steel oval-shaped chainstay. The obvious conclusion is that they're chasing a particular amount of flex that they couldn't get out of aluminum, but here's another idea: What if they already had the level of flex they wanted out of the old bike, but they were breaking aluminum chainstays left and right? It makes sense that the chainstay would be the weak point in a flexy rear end, because it's the direct line from the bottom bracket (aka where most of the rider's mass is transmitted to the rest of the chassis) to the rear axle...

I think it's a workaround for the relatively high levels of anti-squat on the new model. I was surprised to read the press release and how high the AS is on the new bike, but they also open their copy by talking about how their goal wasn't to make the fastest race bike, but something more versatile. I thought that was odd, but maybe YT made a conscious choice to subordinate their team riders desires for a more pedal-able, "poppy" bike for general population bike park use. YT riders have been using Ochain for a long time, and this idler...

I was under the impression that after a while most E13 hubs have a disnengaging /disintegrating ratchet system.

Gonna need to be cooking! Hopefully the speed trap is there.

Rockshox did it before Fox were even on the scene in 2001! Thats the issue with the scene these days everyones to young to remember haha

I just want to say for the record, being able to buy multiple top dogs in each category is so much more fun than pinkbike's league where getting one rider takes up 60% on the team budget.
