6/12/2026 1:37pm In the womens version you can hear a very slight echo in the background when the presenter is asking questions, from the speakers at the venue. I think it's real. She probably just has that mic right up to her face to limit outside noise and has a good TV voice. There may be some processing on it, but in...

https://youtu.be/jlX_Xi4dqrU?si=S4Z-nYgcM-h8q170&t=364 we might need... a separate thread for the general tin foil helmet nature of this but, is this XC interview being narrated by a lady in a booth somewhere and then some poor sap is just holding this mic in the rain, faceless? the clarity and cadence is completely out of context with normal post race interview energy. weird like sure. I get the main commentators being sat on a couch. hate it, but i get it. but now we can't even do in person interviews orr? I mean how many industry LEGENDS are on site? all these media...

6/12/2026 1:30pm That's totally bizarre. Maybe translation of someone asking in a different language? But... why would they need to translate he speaks English and replies in English?

6/12/2026 12:37pm I recall the explanation from Ruaridh Cunningham was the environmental and visual impact of course tape and they always intended to switch to just poles. The low "tape" stuff they still use in enduro was just a short term transition.

is that that bio-degradable potato based eco friendly organic grass fed neon paint orrr? or is it more of a chalk... feel like just having tape on hand for very confusing sections should be logical. also how is that marking gonna hold up to... rain?

6/12/2026 10:42am If only they had some kind of matching colored course tape type product on hand 🤔

Looks like they realized the poles were not enough of a visual indicator in at least one section.

6/12/2026 10:17am Some of them are turning completely brown. Even that toughblock at the top of the stumps, you can't even see any green.

6/12/2026 9:18am So, is Ric just trying to be a jerk? Relishing in the fact that he’s not there? Not sure I get the joke bud, we’re all kind of pissed that the commentary sucks.

I noticed that Aletha Ostgaard was in Schladming at the Red Bull camp thing. And then went to Erzburg too. Where as her canyon teammates (except Kiefer) went to Andorra and Italy. So my hunch is a Red Bull helmet for Aletha soon?

counterpoint - $600 is easily the cost of an ER visit for many people 🤷♂️

5/31/2026 4:36am Serious question: why are the commentators not at the race? They are clearly in a remote studio, confirmed based on where Ric was posting last night. I thought it was a little weak but gave them a pass for Korea. Now that the race is in France there is no excuse.

I know I'm repeating common talking points that have been said over and over for years. But every so often it hits me, as I don't really follow regular mtb pricing too much anymore. But when I saw the tallboy release the other day, and it is a beautiful bike, all I could think was "How could anyone consider the entry level spec for 6k when a similar spec Amflow PR for 4,5k exists?" Apples and oranges, I'm not saying the ebike will be better for everything, but from a simple "add up all the parts on those frames and...

Thank you all for the interest in our bikes and in our distribution / sales model. To give you a bit of context, we’re currently a team of 9 people at RAAW, based in Germany, and we ship worldwide directly from here. The US has actually grown into our biggest market after Germany, which is pretty wild considering that every RAAW in the US has been shipped individually from Germany. Our goal is, of course, to make the ordering process and ownership experience as easy as possible. Having stock in the US would be ideal, but that comes with a...

5/3/2026 7:02am Not to ruin the fun, but every race they have one of those shots where they zoom in on a sponsor looking as the rider passes by. That was probably just that guys job, and someone chose the right sign to draw on.
