That’s me at 0:22 on the left in an orange vest

I think @dantecusolito should get a cool Vital t-shirt for bringing us live coverage and - hopefully - some major scoops.

I’m marshaling and it’s already changing in the upper woods a lot.

I can't believe no one is warning about the GIANT crocodile here.....don't go near the water people!

drama aside, the track looks really good. nice variety, and i love the wide taping on the tech sections.

So dang excited i may just load up my old chevy and drive up there

One of the trail builders posted a reel of him riding the course on an enduro bike.

I know, I know I hate being cold so that is why I suggested a jacket. The electrolytes just a thoughtful reminder to be hydrated. 🤣 I know that the temps are going to be different, but my first trip to Mont-Sainte-Anne in 2017 I didn't have water on me and it was hot and humid as hell. People on the hill saw me offered me water because I looked so bad. I was prepped the next day and the other time I went there and Snowshoe. I wish I could go there this weekend being that it is only...

lol. Spomer just fanning the fires. Related but unrelated - why is the 2025 thread pinned but not this one? Surly we can move on.

They're wondering how Asa goes so fast without the extra linkage..

Vali will sign for Trek. You heard it here first. Longterm partner of sram, been on a trek programme previously Trek dh haven’t had a race wining female for a while Trek changing sponsor on kit and other items into 2026

How dare you talk about vitals prodigal son like that! personally I think you’re a bit off in your take here, or maybe im off in my take, but I think frame works is the embodiment of home made hard work pays off.. and that’s Dak.

I quite like the idea of Laurie Greenland and Charlie Hatton on the same team, they have similar energies

Wouldn't it make sense for Frameworks to sign Dakota so he could help Asa settle into Elites and pass on some of his knowledge. Imagine how good It is for the Alran twins having Amaury and Vergier to train with

@sspomer can we close this thread since there is a 2026 Team Rumors thread, that already discusses the midseason team wobbles?

Listened to Wyntv from Vermont. Sounds like Gwin is all in for the WC next year. I bet Dak is joining the program for super team USA / Tennessee.

I feel you, but some hardtails are legitimately comfortable (when reframed as gravel bikes…) speci Fuse is stiff and sucks, epic hardtail is compliant and feels so good to ride. im telling you guys, the majority of the gravel segment has never tried a mtb (thinks they don’t need one, overbiked, etc.) or doesn’t even need a “gravel bike” (just needs a road bike with 38s and lower gearing.) the gravel category exists because people think road bikes can’t have 45c tires and also that mountain bikes are silly and unnecessary for singletrack. What we see in practice though is...
