I still think there are way too many points for semi’s. I don’t like the fact you can win the race, but if you didn’t have a great semi you might not come out with the most points in the strongest position. It’s more like a 2 stage mini enduro than a one run for all the glory race like it should be. I love the fact there is more to watch as I just like watching racing, but it all being in one day caused me problems, I can’t commit that many hours (family) in one go and as...

As someone mentioned, this format seems ok at best on a short track like we had, but when we get to longer tracks like fort Bill, or worse weather, or gnarlier tracks, things could get out of hand really quick. With any luck, there will be adjustments made throughout the season if needed and we wont see too many injuries. I tend to remember lots of injuries at the first race, but I can't tell if that's because there's more or I just remember them better...

Alarm bells went off in my head when Chris Ball stated that since most injuries happen in practice, adding another race run wouldn't increase the amount of injuries. As Mark Twain said "there are 3 kinds of lies; lies, damn lies, and statistics". While I believe it is true that there are more injuries during practice, there are exponentially more...
Because Discovery wants to cut to only 30 for television. I'm willing to bet that next year they will cut the semi and go straight from quails to finals with only 30 men's racers. They wanted to do it this year but got too much push back. Next year they will say that they heard the negative feedback on semifinals...

"I’ll probably only watch finals live and watch semis sometime I can’t sleep at night. I think more racing will make for a dramatic overall and more opportunities for people to shine." This part is contradictory & you're basically saying semi-finals is too boring to bother with in anything other than "highlight" format. Rather watch ALL 60 come down from beginning to end in a single rip with tension slowly building rider by rider to the fastest qualifier. In the past, the #1 complaint was we would miss Bruni or Gwin or Amaury or Danny have some blistering morning run...

I'll balance out the reviews, their saddle is by far the worst saddle I've ever ridden. Set level I was constantly sliding off the front and therefore putting pressure in the areas it's intended to relieve. Angled up enough to keep from sliding forward and the front puts pressure in the wrong spots. In addition is seems like the saddle...

The Lower headset bearing in my Propain Hugene self destructed after a little more than a month. The whole bearing assembly came apart. I pulled the fork and the lower race came out with it, the bearings and upper race stayed in the frame. Propain USA sent out a replacement headset, so their customer service was good. I'm cautious about the ACROS headset the cables route through on this bike. It would be a much bigger issue on this new Tyee because of the headset hose routing.
