6/9/2024 8:35am I should have scored 1455 points this round. Had mixed luck so I am unsure where I'll stand. One rider let me down.

5/31/2024 12:49am Wait, is caffeine intake still monitored in professional sports? I thought it was. If I drank 6 redbulls I would probably die from axiety .

5/31/2024 12:42am Viola St Gree should be open on mondays, check their IG. It's a short drive from Finale. Monte Alpet is close by but might only be open on weekends this time of the year, also check their IG.

Bar roll actually makes a bigger difference for me, espeically in terms of hand pain/fatigue. I roll my bar forward probably more than average. Also, the flatter the brake levers ar set, the less arm pump I get, but it's then a...

5/29/2024 7:21am Infinite money and only thinking about entertainement/the sport side of things: 15 rounds of world cup. Set up a system of qualifiers at the national/regional level to be eligible to enter a race with the opportunity for national federations to enter some riders in the race if they don't meet the criteria. Everything is broadcasted. High prize money, financial support...

5/29/2024 7:03am It's a very crude tranlation from Italian. Sounds like they mean: the mc/piston ratio makes the brake have a shorter lever throw without sacrificing power. Looks like it's a cheaper (compared to their other offering) 4 pots brake for the OEM market.

5/27/2024 7:11am Rant on (not aimed to you in particular) Death and spinal cord injuries are worse than a concussion. If you are lucky (meaning the expectations is a negative outcome=bad injury) to get away with something that is just better than those injuries after a crash on a feature you willingly decided to hit, then the feature it's dangerous. This is...

5/16/2024 5:28am In his vlog, Laly mentioned that the assigned pit space would have been like 2kmaway from the track, so they have set up the pit at their accomodation as well.

5/12/2024 8:42am If Enduro at the world level dies off, I fear all other forms of enduro racing at a lower level will as well. If they want to only have E-Enduro, that is where the budget will go. The same happened when they killed 4X, lots of people migrated to other forms of racing.
