The other site was down for a few days. Folks brought their energy here. Sucks when I see a new page added and none of it is actual race rumors.

I think the thing that makes people suspicious of WBD and UCI is that WBD and UCI keep doing suspicious things (including well-documented meetings with certain team managers but not all team managers and forcing them into NDAs as tight as not revealing anything even to athletes on their own teams in order to be in those meetings).

Olympics as ethical champ is a wild move 😂

Someone gets it 🤝

I think there's actually 6 bullet points and none of them are related to nepotism or favouritism. They could be abused that way, but assuming that's WBD default position or their intention without any evidence is plain wrong IMHO. That's my whole point. Having a diverse criteria from which to select wildcard teams likely makes sure the best racers, best team structures or injured riders have a chance no matter their points situation. Claiming the wild card system is solely their so WBD can do dodgy deals is plain bull and the standard non-critical anti-wbd stuff I often try to...

No, the Messi point is silly mainly because it claims a frivolous week by week selection of teams based on nepotism. Which is not how the rule book reads to me.

Ahhh his Messi point is silly because it's the SECOND bullet, not the FIRST. 🤣 The more this guy posts in defense of WBD, the more I'm convinced it's Ball's burner account.

Norco will have a World Champ? Danny Hart seems - to me anyway - a great fit for that team.

Someone new on Frameworks, do we have any freckle detectives?

50% huh..? Gwin Racing to Huffy

They're also heirs to the $ billion tennis racket empire. Meanwhile, has Danny Hart been spotted riding a Nukeproof in NZ yet?

“ MoscoOne wrote: Katy couldnt fill in her forms properly.“ Making fun of a rider for having dyslexia, particularly when they have very recently addressed publicly that it’s a hard thing for them to be open about due to teasing and bullying, is just truly low behaviour and is not appropriate on this forum or anywhere else. If this is something you would do, or think is acceptable, please fuck off.

Shameless promotion time. I sat down with Alan Milway (coach and Norco team manager) last week to chat about all the DH team moves and get this thoughts on them.

Blatant self promotion but we caught up with Ali Quinn from Zerode on the new World Cup team on The OTB Podcast https://open.spotify.com/episode/5q2EJbn32z5SiDLtld8sv9?si=TwIWjIviSu-R… and https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/the-otb-podcast/id1614212374?i=10…

Finally some outside sponsorship!

Back to Madison Saracen I heard

Has anyone spotted Danny riding anything?
