I agree, he's just in a unique position right now. I believe he thought that in order to compete with Bruni on specialized, he need a big name bike company to back him up as well and Trek needs him really bad too. BUT he forgot to factor in that Bruni fought for the ability to run whatever parts he wants on his demo. Trek makes him run the parts THEY want him to run, hopefully he can figure things out moving forwards to be more competitive with Bruni and Jackson....cuz when that guy is on he is amazing to...

1/4/2024 2:35pm Bold move from Fabien and Thibault. Nico may had an advice - ? - but this will be interesting. I am sure the French connection will take note. As everyone else should too

12/31/2023 1:32am 2024 will certainly be an interesting year. Old riders will be missed and new ones will be celebrated. I wonder if the UCI will recognise the trend and take countermeasures so that the sport is not put at risk due to inconsistency. The semis should definitely be cancelled. They bring no added value and the risk of injury is simply...

12/30/2023 12:33am I am convinced that real racers - and not influencers like Wibmer for example - do not need to be loud and colorfull on the web. If brands need this they should just ask the marketing and production team to make it work. Influencing is a full time job. It‘s a lot different from building strenght for a race season...

12/23/2023 9:06am 250.000K for funding a full season seems pretty reasonable to me. From food, to flight tickets, hotels, stuff and UCI team registering. To be honest, I think that is quite reasonable. And if it is for 2 people it might not be enough. If you calculaze out the taxes at an average of 18% you can only spend 210000. And...

10/3/2023 11:43am Asa Vermette to Commencal MucOff. Max said. Other reflections would be more about the broadcasting and the format itself. Reporters: A good team would be Gwin instead of Cedric and Rob instead of "the other guy"in the booth. Altough I like Cedric and his last performance but I think it is better in propper english. Especially for those wo do...

9/2/2023 12:55am It will only make it more difficult for the amateur rider. Why change something that is no problem? I can allready see the armada of mums and dads with their Motorola Walky Talkys being agressed by thier kid because they could have said something about a two second gap 5 seconds earlier. Not every idea is good even if it...
Rol Started a new thread Will DH lose it's biggest fans?
7/2/2023 1:10am Hello, I think MTB DH will lose it's biggest fans because the main race is behind a paywall. What a stupid idea it is! I believe Discovery should find a titel sponsor and make it free in order to fully profit from the show. There is not even a replay we can watch. It is just silly. The best of...

There's clearly two different ways to answer the question: guts and numbers. Choices made by feeling, preference, or guts are always going to be vague, personal, and more interesting to discuss. An Aussie might be more inclined to say Hill over a Brit, who might root for Peaty. But they'd both be wrong based on numbers, which are exact, precise, and unfeeling. So I think (having done absolutely no research at all) the numbers would determine the GOATs to be: DH Male: Nico The Alien, and Winnaar. DH Female: Anne-Caro (the undisputed, no-argument, alpha GOAT of the sport), and Rachel...

10/26/2022 7:36am If it really is so the riders should quit the show imediately and leave the red wings alone. Fuck them. Risking ones life for free for a show can not be an option for anyone and for sure not for the pro riders. But I can not understand how they can accept these conditions anyway. They must somehow have even...

10/23/2022 11:41am Hello, I do think Rampage as it is now is really bad. It is a show that is not enjoyable to watch. The commentators are bad and the show mediocre. Here are some refections: it is a very elite group of people who do perform. I think it would be better to let everyone ride who wants to. Juging should...

10/1/2022 12:38pm If Goldstone is lucky enough to not get hurt seriously in the next few years he, at some point, will be unbeateble. And Jordan will make him work hard for his money. Both are already incredibble riders. But still, Bruni, Amaury and some other fast guns will be up to it and be very fast as well. I am full...
