lemon Added a reply to 2026 Team Rumors
11/3/2025 2:24pm Wherever the relationship is now (seems healthy enough) its undeniable it wasnt at least a little bit dodgy. Adult team manager getting romantically involved with team member he signed when she was underage. I think it being called out somewhat isn't necessarily a bad thing so that sort of shit doesn't become normalised.

10/21/2025 4:25pm Good idea although I think the larger issue with this is they've been recycling the same two venues for so long now the lines are all so well constructed. It's also possible limiting the water will only make it more dangerous as they may still end up building the same shit, it'll just be built worse.

10/21/2025 2:46pm With all due respect though what are you actually proposing changes outside of cancelling the event? There just doesn't seem to be many valid ways to increase the safety drastically without seriously compromising the event. As I have said I think a fresh venue would help alot but it would still be inherently very dangerously given the level these guys...

10/20/2025 5:43pm Interesting for sure but I feel like the actual reality of the top being " about free riding and creative raw lines" isn't practical or that interesting to most, athletes probably included. The concept of what that actually entails is barely even tangible. Either you get a bunch of people just skidding down some loose dirt or you get people...

10/20/2025 5:14pm Understand what you're saying, my boxing example was just a loose example of deaths in sport, not intended as a direct comparison. Michael Goolaerts died in a televised road cycling race a few years ago perhaps that is a better example. And I agree, the event should be as safe as possible but I've seen few people actually offer up...

10/20/2025 4:27pm Absolutely, obviously no one wants to see anyone die but an unfortunate reality of a good amount of both normal and action sport, is there is always a chance someone dies. Football players have died on broadcast, boxers, motorsport etc. I struggle to see how this can be completely eradicated from rampage. As I said I think a fresh venue...

10/20/2025 3:27pm I think at the end of the day we just have to remember those guys are there voluntarily choosing how they get down the mountain themselves. For a lot of the riders, rampage is by far the biggest reason they are sponsored and the most exposure they get for the year, I think if you asked them whether they would...

I find it distributing (though not surprising) the UCI/WBD hasn't launched their own misconduct investigation into this one. I know if this was a bigger sport with more media pressure, that's exactly what would happen. The results (independent of the courts) would dictate his future, and these types of things are usually handled quickly. As an example, Trevor Bauer was suspended (MLB ) even though there was no criminal conviction (honestly, probably should have been booted from the league). Side question, doesn't Thibault come from real money?

I'm all for karma catching up on those who deserve it. Daves summary is spot on BTW. lemon gets it. " If you're innocent you don't typically pay off the victim and threatened publications with legal consequences if they report on anything."

I’m sure I’m not the only one who breathed a sigh of relief when Troy crossed the line green last week when it seemed like the track was getting harder as the race progressed. And while i understand the perspective of no court ruling daprela is responsible means they can’t really stop him from racing. But basically eso has pretended that there are no fairly substantiated allegations from the beginning. And it seems as his results have improved closer to where they were more and more media groups seem to be willing to give him a spotlight without an asterisk...

They should cut to commercial during Daprela's run instead of riders like Antoine Rogge that actually deserve the coverage.

2/6/2025 9:35pm Yeah to be fair I'd be surprised if brosnan wants to risk too much right at the start of a season. Would be cool to see Fearon put down a good result after his 3rd in seeding and (4th??) i think last year
