Update from Cami: As most of you might know I had the biggest crash in my career in Vallnord, Andorra. I was blown by a sudden wind gust on the road gap in my quali run, apparently crashed hard on the landing. As of today, I don’t remember the accident. I’m suffering from a moderate head trauma and contusions in my chest, but no broken bones. I’ll be staying in a neuro rehabilitation center in Switzerland for a few weeks but should make full recovery. I’m very sad and disappointed to miss the rest of the season but getting better...

I think that was more of a Kenda problem and not as much not feeling it. I haven't seen anyone stay upright on those tires in 15 years. Although once he was on Vee Rubber and the podium again, he was technically........ re-tired

I second Amaury's questions about safety. Our rider Tristan Lemire had a bad crash in practice that caused him to fall just to the side of the track. He came to a stop on the tree pictured here. He was very lucky to have only broken a metacarpal and will be back in Andorra. He very easily could have been impaled by the branches on these logs. He fell directly onto this pile of shrapnel. This is literally 5' off the side of the steepest part of the track inside the B zone. It's insane that this area is not...

Bikerumor got a bit of the scoop on the mondraker. one of the things is a modular BB shell to allow different BB locations:
