Lucas Cruz leaving Norco Race Division. Good guy who has been hampered by injuries the past few years. Seems like he could benefit by doing the Crankworx/Continental/national races like his brother focused on this year.

sspomer Liked a forum topic 2025 World Cup Downhill - Val di Sole, Italy

6/17/2025 10:53am
Bikes and riders are shaking as they roll up to Val di Sole, Italy for the 4th downhill round of the 2025 UCI Mountain Bike World Series. Racers know that they face a steep and unrelentingly hard-hitting track, and mechanics know that bikes and parts will be pushed to their physical limits. Share in the action from Italy with videos, social media posts and results here. If you see something sweet, post it up! We'll have Pit Bits, Vital RAW and The Weekend from Lawlor this week. Play Vital DH Fantasy Val di Sole (game will open when quali start...

What a way to kick off the season! So rad to see so many pinned runs, with hardly any run crashes as well. Here are the results and a couple of observations: -22 racers lined up for finals (down from 34 on the full start list, proof that this event is no push-over). -How cool was it to see Sam Hill and Josh Bryceland just cruising such an intimidating course like it wasn't a big deal? Let's not say they came off the couch to race here, but almost. -Gracey Hemstreet looked like a sure thing the whole way, smooth...

Which is more aero? Could you add a little weight to the inside of your dreads to act as a Tuned Cranial Mass Damper? It'll help vision, for sure!

Maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention, but I didn't notice Erice van Leuven or Gracey Hemstreet in any of those vlogs, are they racing?

Danny Hart's GT Fury caught a lot of attention this past World Cup season as it had some notable structural frame modifications to increase compliance. Dale, Danny's mechanic, is a veteran frame engineer and had some great ideas on how to fine tune Danny's bike to work best for his style and to eke out the literal hundreths of a second needed to win races. If you haven't seen these mods, check out this quick section of Vital's PIT BITS video here. Let's dig into each modification. This will be extra fun because I was fortunate enough to be the...

GT is an interesting one for me because I thought their branding, online marketing, products, and athletes have been consistently strong for 10+ years, since the Atherton's at least. I've ridden a GT and really liked it, and they seemed to be good products. Their struggles seem to be more fundamental to their business structure, i.e. where do you buy one? I don't even know the answer to that question. Back in the day they were an entry level product at Performance Bikes, then at Dicks Sporting Goods. Could you get a GT at REI once they started carrying Cannondale...
