Holy throwback Spomer lol... Yeah that doesn't look good in context. I kinda wanted to pull some other context to go by. I believe Jordan won his very first go on the old Demo, and Finn won at MSA on one of the very first proto builds. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. (Also I believe Finn was on the...

yep lol a TON of us picked a pretty obvious team. i wanna see how many picked the same team but did Jordan instead of Finn, and it still wasn't enough for the win because the top team was so massive. 39 points ahead of second place, dang. i feel like nobody did that team set up but with jordan...

So the (overblown) narrative of bar height at Andorra and implying something like Finn's bike was ideal at this track (and not at others) has resulted in Reece going 2nd on da choppa... Or is the frame stack actually just that low, as Reece implied, and his total bar height is not that huge? He said like maybe 20mm up...

Oh my word. They've done it, the mad lads they've done it. I did pick Finn instead of Jordan (and should have made the swap after the rain but whatever)... But I've actually picked a team this round. If this isn't my best result on the season then I'm gonna complain about the format to Spomer like everyone else 😂

the heavens saw me pick a team of goats and said 'nah, fam' and just trashed the track so that the obvious fast picks will blow it now... rip

i usually just look at my local jumps and say "you cant get a red bull sponsorship on any of these... but you CAN end up in the hospital" have yet to be sponsored for riding. have ended up in the hospital multiple times...

I used to say this while looking at the course before a bike race. Saying it made me feel smart and tactical. Never won any of those races, though.

I think it's a valid way to describe a track, like those sections in Andorra where there aren't many marginal gains to be made, in comparison to the MSA rock garden, where you can definitely win in that section. In the Andorra straight line sections, every rider who qualified is going to do the section within 0.1 of the same time gap, whereas really technical sections lead to gaps where one rider could be 2 seconds up on the entire field. This sentiment isn't always true though. In Loudenvielle, everyone said that you just had to hold time at the...

Mistake by YouTube auto-translation. At the end, Flo said "c'est un piste qui reste très très mono-traj' " meaning that you mainly have only one ("mono") line/trajectory and not so many alternative lines.

Watching track vids, always end up hearing "cant win the race in this section, but you can lose it"... Which has seemingly been over-used to the point I'm not quite sure what it means. Obviously you can throw the race away anywhere, but I assume places where you 'cant' win are typically straight sections that are one line... And sections...
