Wrong thread - I know it has not been made explicitly clear but this one is for rāsiNG ro͞omərs..... Come on....we have a good streak going. So what is this about Gwin on an Intense frame fitted with Hope parts purchased from ebay UK? Gee, I wonder if they at least gave him free shipping.

Completely agree with this comment. With Mercedes in the game, I wouldn't be surprised if other car companies don't want to feel like they are left behind. I feel like car marketing has a total lemmings affect. I'd also add that sponsoring a WC bike team is relatively cheap for a car company.. lease a few cars to the team...

I would like to disagree with your last point. Enduro is a much different sport than Road, there is a hell of a lot more skill, talent and bike tech required to do well in Enduro so most PED's have less of an effect on overall performance. It's a younger sport so there has been less time to build that upper-edge finding mentality, I was all over the place in my first few years trying to figure out how to be faster. So much to try and learn about the sport that supplements were the least of my worries. Anyways...

No matter the outcome, Enduro has brought the consumer numerous bad ass bikes, components, and tools to choose from. I'll always be thankful for that aspect.

Rems brings up some good points. As someone who is in the testing world (not specifically doping), the testing is not perfect and there is always a chance for errors which is why regular testing with A and B samples is really important. This is really a communication issue for EWS. If only the French rounds were testing and the...

I think it is good to clarify a couple of things, if I'm not an expert on doping and what kind of products are used, I know a bit how the testing methods work. First thing, doping is a race and the better anti-doping is getting, the smarter the dopers are (or seems to be). So know it seems like athletes are trying to gain a small edge by using either drugs at a very low level or drugs that are very difficult to detect (mostly drugs who completely mimic regular human products from what I've read). An other method...

Stiks probably has a better sense of the financial stakes at play, but if getting access to some drugs cost even a couple thousand for a rider to hit some bonuses that are worth 10K, 20K, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if some riders did it.

In an attempt to gain a little clarity, at least in regards to the timeline, we reached out to Chris Ball (the managing director and founder of the EWS), here is what he had to say regarding this issue: [i]"We are aware of an ongoing inquiry by the French Anti-Doping Agency (AFLD), but have yet to receive any formal notification of the process. Until that inquiry is completed and we are notified of the outcome we are unable to comment. We respect the formal process in place and will base any further action on the outcome of that process, not...

Glad this wasn't a situation of 'state controlled media'. That being said, what did I miss?

If you really come up short on a gap, you are going to blow through the suspension on pretty much any bike. I normally set my suspension up with a little "oh shit" room at the end but we are talking a few millimeters for larger hits to flat.

What about the SC 5010? I think that bike would be great for the type of riding you are describing

If I am remember the last WC slideshow properly, I thought Dean said his future was up in the air because of Gwin (or insinuated it was Gwin). He needed to see how that played out if he was going to be resigned by Intense. Dean and Angel definitely have a nice team if Angel can put together a solid...

MPH24 Added a comment about feature How to Make Everyone Happy with Rampage

10/29/2018 2:29pm
Establishing the "Line Score" prior to the riding is the best idea I've heard (Don't they do this with diving?) This does two things: 1) You could have a "Best Dig" award for the highest line score with prize money that goes to the Rider's dig crew, who clearly put in so much work to make Rampage happen. Additionally with the broadcast, you can highlight the dig team and that process more (plus this gives them content for down time during the live feed). 2) This brings the start to much needed detail to the scoring; 25 points for Line...
