All

thanks lookinforit - last batch is up, pit bits 4 (i think we're at 200 pit bits photos today and yesterday HA!) https://www.vitalmtb.com/photos/features/PIT-BITS-4-Lourdes-World-Cup-D…

Interesting rear tire choice, I wonder if they’re speccing that because of parts shortages

Paul did some nice pictures! (did that work?) hehe it worked! Enjoy!

A bit heavier than the normal DH casing, but not crazy heavy. Quite a bit lighter than DH casing plus insert would be.

linkage difference between loic and finn's bikes today from pit bits. thoughts on what differences are?

Color scheme looks like the 2021 Heckler MX, which would make sense to have around for transportation around the World Cup venue: Even the seat tube logo:

Vital is crushing it. Much appreciation to the whole team.

enlightening 13 minute audio interview with brendan fairclough from sven today https://www.vitalmtb.com/features/The-State-of-Brendan-Fairclough,3591

14 junior women is awesome. If I am not wrong there were just 3 or 4 riders last year they raced there (might need to look it up to be sure). It looks like the level of women racing in general is getting higher quickly, also with the contribution of younger riders!

should be later today. hearing rumors of rallon w/ a DC on it which would be sick!

I'm most interested to see who's switched out to sharpie tires the 2nd day of practice.

tyler ervin did a full trackwalk in our insta stories...just finished up. hit it up - https://www.instagram.com/vitalmtb/

Don Jr or Eric? is that you on Vital?

Tough topic, and of course Kyle's personal story and a couple of his anecdotal stories are disturbing. It sucks that these news sources, just really can't be trusted. I've gotten to where I can't even watch the stuff. Cable news in particular is terrible for our society. Full of bias and inaccuracies. I'm proudly pro-vaccination, but it infuriates me that your story has been censored at times. The truth will set us free. GL, Kyle.

Kyle and April! Just finished listening to this podcast. AWESOME! Kyle, I love your critical thinking and willingness to dive in and make sense of all the data that is out there. Too many people read headlines or captions and don't get the full story. I like your approach, your integrity, and your passion. I'm glad Kyle gave an update on how April was doing through all this! She is amazing! So strong! I'm in the medical profession as an eye doctor. Obviously I'm not an infectious disease expert, but I've had my share of education in that area... and...

vali's session from our pit bits vid - idler different (not enclosed like loris/reece etc bikes). is this what was going around a week or so ago? new slash rear end or something?
