Mugen Added a reply to Who is the GOAT of mountain biking?

Seeing as we have decended in wild fanboyisms here is more fuel for the fire: Sam Hill: Troy Brosnan was on teams with both Sam and Aaron, yet in interviews, when he has a great run he always talks about channelling Sam Hill, never Gwin Tongue . Nico Vouilloz: on strava Nico goes by the username NV10, 10 for the amount...

Trying to be as numerical as possible for the men, the GOAT of DH is either Minaar: Most UCI world cup wins ever (might be beaten, Gwin is only 1 away). And, importantly longest, period of winning Vouilloz: Most World Champs wins ever (might never be beaten, even though Bruni is still youngish). However, the question is who is the...

That is certainly how I interpreted it. The Tesla comment was very weird, absolutely nothing indicates they are going towards hydrogen.

Unfortunately, there are tons...

I was actually quite busy during the live feed, so ended up just skipping to the runs of each rider and not looking at the scores...

I'm sorry but I have never understood why Fox have so much market share and high prices: Early 2010's: Coating on all their forks wore off despite regular services Mid 2010's: Forks were not getting anywhere near the announced travel Early 2020's: shocks completely unreliable. And all of this despite RS getting similar and often better reviews.
