There were a couple of clues in the live feed. As Kolb was climbing onto the stage whilst passing the race winning V10, Neko says " Is that his bike or Jacksons?", to which Rik replies "Careful!". In the interview Andi was asked why he was so happy to see Jackson beat Bruni. He gave a very diplomatic answer, which prompted Rik to say something like "He handled that question just as well as he handled his bike today". So I think Kolb to Syndicate is the done deal.

i just saw this on instagram: with kolb on the podium with luca and jackson, could this mean he is joining the syndicate. he is good friends with goldstone...

Honestly it looked like Loic had been crying on the gondola ride down. This has to be so hard for him, and an incredibly difficult decision not to drop in. He waited until the last minute because I am certain he really didn’t know if he would or would not drop in. He saw what Jackson did and said to himself, I cannot match that or get close. I have complete respect for him and he should be able to take all the time he needs to decide, including in the start hut. As for not going to the overall...

If you dont feel good and you sit 2nd overall, there is no explaining needed and definitely no need to cruise down. Dude is ultimate Pro and knows the game best to calculate what is worth it or isnt.

Happy for Dak in 4th! He's been climbing up the results and clawing his way back from injury

He can sit there, as long as Neko mentions that he 'just wasnt taking no for an answer' during his race run.

Ooooo, finally something in the thread a professional association says I'm qualified to comment on! This is a misconception. Whistler Blackcomb, like most ski resorts in British Columbia, are for the most part, on unsurveyed Crown land. Bits and pieces are surveyed, typically where buildings exist, and there's a bunch of statutory right of ways registered on it (with confusing descriptions because, well, unsurveyed), but like 99% of the resort is provincial land. Whistler Blackcomb has stronger property rights and than other resorts because their tenure is a lease which gives them similar (but not quite as strong) rights to...

well...... that could be cool of what's to come

Father time is undefeated, it catches up to everyone eventually. It would be cool to see some of the guys just outside of the top 20-30 of world cups focus on Crankworx, Monster pro-downhill series. They are still insanely fast and would raise up the level of those races and make for great viewing.

Being 100% pedantic - it's pedal stance width, not q-factor
