Agreed. Would be ok for Ken for a rider or two but kicking the only person who’s been liked on the broadcast for someone who has very little insight on the race is a terrible call.

Got some reactions following todays Q2 session here.

I think it speaks to just how complex the tracks across the world are & how truly diverse the skill set of World Cup racers really is. One week you are 59th in qualifying because the track, distance, sprints, elevation, terrain, soil type don't sync up to the exact combination of skills & health & bike a particular rider has. Next week, you rip 6 seconds out of the entire field like Hemstreet between a group of splits. The diversity & technicality of downhill is unmatched. It's not even a randomness. 60-80 guys and no such thing as the same...

gracey's norco has a new rear end. 1kg lighter than alloy

Cry harder Reece? 😅

i mentioned in the loudenvielle thread, but no lawlor raw or pit bits vids fromt Loudenvielle, Lenzerheide, Andorra or Les Gets. we have 6 US national rounds this year that we decided to put budget into instead. our heart is with domestic racing and helping it grow. with 11 WC rounds (including world champs), we had to make budget choices and this year we had to pay 3k euro to WBD so lawlor could film (this was after our budget/race decisions were made, however). they've always let us in, but that finally ended this year. i don't blame them, it's...

yeehhh but thats a production issue, that could be fixed for most of the event. i dont think re-adding protection is the solution. honestly they will still mess up broadcasting runs regardless. i dont mind how they wanna run stuff live. what i hate is they don't seem to take their entire allotment of event footage and create EXTENSIVE post shows. like ur not quite losing customers by posting old footage. post highlights/recaps after the race. THEN during the off season, drop ENTIRE event productions on youtube to generate hype... every run, as much footage as possible. also the raw...

There’s still not been any official clarification on course markers vs obstacle designators vs line gates, right? Cathro said he’s talked to a guy who works there but we’ve all worked places with guys and he really does seem to be focused on becoming a clickbait YouTuber now (see today’s thing on the suspension lights). It’s either no big deal or an existential threat to DH racing. I go back and forth. Seems easy enough to say “here’s how tracks are defined” and move forward, but that really hasn’t been WB’s bag so far. Weak. Don’t worry, introducing gambling into...

When a World Cup comes around, you must rip it.

If he turns up wearing a helmet shaped like this, then we'll know.

Using creed in your video is an automatic disqualification 😂

Agreed. Hats off to him for noting Dapréla “won’t take no for an answer.”

Get the badge in!

The hourglass design on that kit is a big fail. One of those things where it looked great on the computer screen. Then when the riders put it on it's a different story... Haha. The curved hourglass makes everyone look like Umpa Loompas with massive thighs/quads. Lol. Laurie probaby said "F that, I ain't wearing it" hahah

This has got to be the worst looking kit in existence. Who thought that accentuating Goldstone’s hips would look good? Got to be the exact same design as Tahnee’s been wearing

All racers are self centered… it’s the job.
