Screw Europe-based big teams, they need to adapt to a less European-centric racing not to get more funding. UCI didn't wait for Kiwis and American racers to get more funding to be able to travel across the word. The goal is not to allow Europeans to travel easily but to give a fair chance to all racers all across the globe..

or maybe THE UNION gets 7-figure funding since they're doing better than most of the full factory teams 🤩

Japan sucks for snow. NEVER go there😉

Saw "LeBR:ON" on the other site's comments and had a good chuckle.

confirmed, lebron on canyon

The expanded series if done overnight is a disaster for the smaller teams. I think we'll see many more than Madison planning to exit. They need outside money, and to share it more broadly if they're going to have that many stops.

What coudl this be?

Just like the UCI website.

These are the only clips of tour de France that I will watch.

noticed that the base model 134 comes in with an MSRP of under $2k USD. definitely a budget build, but IMO its good to see that there are proper bikes in that price range for new riders looking at their first bike.

Curious, I thought they look like a good iteration on the previous model Carbon and alu alu has external cables, carbon id fully guided, no headset cable routing geo looks good, shortish CS and WB, should be a nimble bike full water bottle, accessory mount, frame protection looks good good colours, aesthetically they look quite good, Konas simple faux bar. Personally, the brake choices seem underwhelming, but that has been Konas MO for a while now. Other than frame storage, what more would you like from a couple trail bikes?

my thumb fell off from scrolling

Has anyone heard anything about Chromag coming out with an aluminum dj? Allegedly one of our local slope guys has been on one, but it feels like a pretty big departure for Chromag to go that way. That said, maybe their riders have been asking for something more slope oriented than the Monk?

Loris back on fox & maybe we can see him tell jordy what he wants lol.

She seemed to come out of nowhere and excel on the Junior WC circuit: 3 races, no quali lower than 5th and no race result lower than 4th. I thought I saw something that said she's done Enduro and that she won the Swedish national Downhill championship for Junior women last year, but now I can't find where I saw that. The Junior women have been a massively pleasant surprise this year and in 2023. Women's Elite could shape up to be something very special in the next 2 or 3 years, the way these young women are performing.
