if he's not listed, he didn't finish a timed run. i'm pretty sure i remember him dripping in for a run or two when i watched live timing. i guess if a rider had an issue it was easier to skip the bottom of the course and take the road back to the pits, skipping the finish line, hence the incomplete times.

11/27/2017 12:48pm Sure, there's going to be outliers like Illes, but that's almost certainly the exception, not the rule. How did Hart or Gwin do in their first Juniors race? We can't expect all junior racers to kill it from the beginning. The only advantage I see of eliminating the category is that it would level the playing field a bit for...

11/27/2017 12:17pm Am I missing the point, or is everyone else? The World Junior races are meant to be a path to full WC racing. It seems obvious that the best in the jnr category would be good enough to start qualifying for the next level. It's like that in every sport. If the juniors who'd qualify in the elite field were...

The presentation complains that the average salary is only about $11 an hour, but they says that bike tunes are priced low at $80. Considering that an $80 tune doesn't take more than an hour or two, maybe the discrepancy is between the money coming in and money trickling down to the mechanic. Then again, the cold hard fact is that it's a simple job in a desirable industry that takes little to no training beyond what most serious riders have. How much are housekeepers paid? How much are grocery cashiers paid? This doesn't seem to be a problem that's...

Electric bikes are lame, but they make a pretty sweet kid's bike though: http://grompatrol.com/kranked-ripper-hard-tail/
