On the Downtime Podcast, Chris Hall, Neko Mulally, and Olly Morris were speculating that Specialized can give just that little extra support. They only have so much budget to allocate, and when Loic is on the box every week, it makes sense to try and keep him there. Also, Jordan and Finn have both independently said that their mentality just sort of clicked this year. Finn finally got a strong training offseason this year after chronic pain in years previous.

I do think that the specific fields are so much more competitive, today, though. I mean, particularly this year, we are seeing the arrival of pro downhillers who have been training their brains / bodies...

does this track really seem too "straight" or not raw? with all rider comments being "best track of the year!" and "finally a real track!" i take that to mean it's rough and rowdy, not some bikepark thing. is it because there are some berms to keep things moving?

Finn took his second win of the year at Lenz, but his third win of his career. I know I’m in the minority, but I’d totally watch the top 60 race

Weights, bar ends, prototype parts and one-off anodizing. It's PIT BITS and this time the goods drop from the La Thuile World Cup thanks to Rick Schubert. Anything catch your eye?
