10/11/2023 4:40am Would be cool to see Zerode at world cup, their new bike looks sweet. Was there any rider riding that bike at MSA? If not, we can be relatively sure they were showing the bike to potential team/riders. Does anyone knows how MS operate? Do they just get frames (+R&D) or were they also financially supported by Mondraker?

10/9/2023 12:59pm Weird he would not have a spare given the resources that team has, and weird to wait for finals day if it was indeed a team mandate.

10/8/2023 1:17pm So it looks like the new Enduro will use the same design as the current proto demo. Or maybe they are just trying things. Where is the photo from?

10/8/2023 1:02pm I second a previous comment. Any ideas why Kade Edwards was apparently not allowed to race? Also, he confirmed on WynTV he will not race WCs anymore (might race a few rounds depending on the location).

10/8/2023 1:58am Am I the only one who was a bit shocked how they manhandled Goldstone after the finish? I'd be pissed. It was even worse than with Coulanges in France. I get blocking off the crowd, but the winner, really? Anyway, great racing. And crazy run by Craik (first time a rider wearing a MX helmet gets on the podium?)

10/7/2023 6:47am They have a timing chip for timing purposes, usually mounted in the front of the fork lowers close to the axle. Moreover, they use the same system as ski, with a spring loaded bar (not sure what's it called). The gps is used for the broadcast.

10/7/2023 12:54am The box is a gps to have live info for the top riders during finals. I Think it's how they show speed in real time.

10/5/2023 4:19am So all top contenders in the junior men category are either out or missed races due to injury. Incredible speed but luck does not look to be on their side.

10/4/2023 8:16am I watched the video by Bruni. To me, he means the air cartridge is very sensitive to pressure changes. That is, even half a psi of difference will alter ride height signifcantly.

-They really need to step it up to at least 1080 resolution. Looks like it's 480 or lower. -They also need to get horizon-lock going on the gimbal or via software. This will keep the frame level so it's not as much of a 'star fighter'/'insect' feeling.

10/2/2023 10:48pm So are YT going back to a full factory program? Fresh winner O Callaghan plus Höll could be a great start.

9/17/2023 3:29am Old news. Apparently pissed Minnaar off at world champs for not being prepared for rain. It's till unclear what was the actual issue that day.

9/8/2023 9:18am Yup, I mentioned it in the other thread. It's 50% of the top 30.

9/8/2023 8:06am Just to stir the pot, 15 out of the top 30-qualified elite men in Les Gets have a race number higher than 30.

9/8/2023 7:38am Just a correction: she raced a round of the french cup this summer, but it's her first world cup since cancer treatment.

9/8/2023 7:28am Mariana Salazar returns to racing in Les Gets! If you don't know, she was diagnosed with cancer a year ago, right after the race in Les Gets. She is finally able to return to racing after being a course sweeper at french national champs. Really this is the best news of the all week! Her fight went completely under the...

9/8/2023 6:09am Anyone knows if Hemstreet is injured? She has been off the pace a bit at the last few races, compared with being on winning pace in Val di Sole.
