5/27/2024 5:28am If it was just on Dave, how come they changed the jump afterwards? When Dave revealed his injuries, other riders commented suggesting there was something up with the jump itself too. It seems he was a bit slow for it but that wasn't the only factor.

Just hopped on Fantasy (didn't do 1st round). Just gotta say props to the guys who built up the format on here. Much easier to use system than the other site's fantasy selection.

In pedal sports where the advantages of fitness & talent are microscopic, I still can't see the motor being an even leveling of the playing field for the elite. Richie is punished in battery-enduro because he has the same "output": motor as his competitor. A woman who is slender can be punished equally. The mopeds have a sweet spot for rider (they should be called jockeys) weight to power ratio. Above or below that threshhold, your competitors quite literally have an easier race. It is quite literally the most unequal sport I can think of.

5/18/2024 4:37am In the raw practice video from Round 1, they had EDR and EDR-E in the same video. Even before you could work out what bike they were on (E or not) you could tell because the way you have to ride the ebikes is so different. On the tighter, techer sections the non-E riders were taking way more interesting, creative...

5/8/2024 6:19am Looks like a whole 5 stages for the first round. How will the riders cope.

5/8/2024 5:24am Correct. Keen to see how things shake out at Finale. Genuinely have no idea what kind of form everyone's in - it seems most of the top riders have all had fairly smooth off-seasons?

5/5/2024 10:35am Nope, it's Drum & Bass, as in the music used on it. Some people abbreviate it to DNB. The fancy studio shots before the big dogs ride showing off the bikes and kit look fairly pro, and the amount of course covered was nice, but that's totally undone by not broadcasting semis, zero communication about why, and then making it...

5/5/2024 4:35am Bruni using wheel weights. Wonder what that's offsetting? It must be something quite noticeable in the rim/tyre to need that level of 'solution'.

4/12/2024 4:30pm I didn't quote the original post as it's a few pages back but thanks to all at Vital involved in the Fox podcast interview. Really insightful. SX chat especially so!

3/16/2024 5:45am That's not really backed up by the prosecution/conviction statistics at all. e.g.: "According to figures from the French Ministry of Gender Equality, every year in France, 94,000 women report being victims of rape or attempted rape. But in 2021, barely 1 percent of the reported assaults resulted in a conviction." In the UK it's still extremely hard to get a...

3/15/2024 1:32am I always forget I have an avenue to let you know about these things somewhat directly, so while I've remembered: great work on the podcast. Really enjoyed it and felt like I learned a lot about Aaron.

3/14/2024 12:41pm I edited it because I can't say for certain that that's the case, but if even I had heard the rumours (with no industry connections/insiders), I find it impossible to believe that someone like Barel wouldn't have. Even if he hadn't, someone in the team absolutely would have done, and again I find it hard to believe it wouldn't get...
