BKs podcasts are so good as he just throws it out, $60k less budget compared to last year, riders keep the same salary and he takes the loss. And that sponsors are serious about reducing or even canceling enduro sponsorhip as there is simply no exposure from it. Also interesting bit about the Dyfi and how much that park does for the local comunity and that Dan has been elected as city council :D

Not a rider rumour, but looks like Commencal Muc-off will be on Burgtec components?

his comments don‘t seem that the split was amicable. if so very sad.

The other site confirmed he is out as CEO. No details but they got inside confirmation that Rob has left Santa Cruz. interesting comment from Rob

Nah, Omicron plays a role but vaccination plays a bigger role since the vaccines had already proven their efficacy before Omicron was the predominant variant...

I'll dive into this pile of BS thread head first for 1 post. I get to see people die at work from covid everyday, I haven't seen one vaccinated person die in the last 2 months If you want to control covid in order prevent the most deaths you have 2 options, vax and masking or super strict lockdowns and masking. In the US, the only way to get people to vax at a much higher rate will be for health insurance companies to refuse to pay covid related treatment costs for those that choose not to be vaccinated.

There is still people dumb enough to fight against a thing that saves lifes. French decision is a good one, at least this one, most of the time it sucks.

I get that point, but the scientific literature is quite clear on the fact that a Covid infection is more likely to have a negative impact on performance than the vaccine. Especially when thinking about long-Covid. If I was a pro racer I would probably have tried to time as much of my vaccinations with the start of the off-season to minimise the effect on my training. However with the Booster requirements that seems a little tricky to get just right. Anyhow, wouldn't most pro racers and their teams already be vaccinated to be able to get around most travel...

Yep - I literally just looked for a block or ignore feature. Can we get one please?

Started typing a response but after a couple years of seeing your posts decided it wasn’t worth the time. Where’s the block feature vital? I don’t need a safe space but this site could be more enjoyable if I could select to not see what one or two people has to say.
