Ok do we just start sending someone to marshal races from now on? With the added mspaint line overlays, we are literally in the inside line

It’s hard to tell. I know a couple of the course sweepers and they seem to be having fun just lapping, but the process of eking out tenths of seconds that the actual racers have to do might not be as fun. I’m sure wyn’s interviews will shed some light after Q2. I don’t want to distract them when they’re using 110% of their brain power figuring out lines already.

Richie said he went for the triple, but being just behind Jordan made him come faster than usual and overshooting the triple

I just have to brag for a sec:

AON riders are going outside (green) and everyone else is either going inside single double (blue) or outside to inside (green to blue). Joe Breeden was the only one to pull a massive double to single on the inside (red). It was insane.

More puzzling All of elite men is right here in the upper woods trying to figure it out. Jackson and Finn are saying the dirt is like Fernie.

Course crew has been putting in work, watering berms and jumps where snowmaking pipes are available, maybe slapping some berms, and leaf blowing this morning.

Just heard that VIP tickets are sold out for whiteface. So seems like they won’t be too bad financially.

who was that in the shorts at 0:55? Jonty Williamson? Do we still have the VitalMTB prize for a podium in shorts? Do Juniors count?

raw on its way in not too long. from lawlor - "lots of crashes from some of the top boys. Dak wrecked a frame in front of me. Loic has a front wheel washout and Gwin binned it on his first run. Oh and Jackson went off track and nearly ran me over." can't wait!

Crazy the point turn to dust. If I team goes out those points should go with the rider so at least new team. I get the teams wanted to keep the points and that rule is there but if team disappears like this there should be some sort of plan b for the riders. It would make them a lil more valuable in trying to find new ride. Obviously Vali will have little trouble finding a new team. I don’t think Oisin or Kolb have much issues finding new teams seeing both are around top ten inUCI points. Kasper could...

Seems like the UCI didn't think very hard about the possible scenarios during the rule change.
