Thank God Vermette is in through q2, sucks for Dak and Gwin being just off the pace, but always happy to see Danny Hart on the finals

Very impressive time too. Bouladou was 3:53. Ernest had 3:49, and from a Q2. Drying up? The easily flattenable jumps sections out in the open are a dream for minor impact on the ski season. I like the suggestion that MTB was the easiest pro sport to get.

lol yep so much more the 'no points in qualifying so the title isnt decided in qualifying' concept. i guess jordan could get 0 points and still lose? idk. part of me's given up on the points system since uci has done much the same

Here's the Gravity Lab live tracker: https://gravitylab.live/live.html?session=me-q2&event=20261002_mtb It's a pretty cool way to visualize what's going on on the track when there's no live broadcast.

Sacha got her first Elite podium at Lake Placid last year. Seems like this is a track she likes.

Women’s q2 4 seconds faster than q1

We could be watching the overall decided in qualifying and it’s UNTELEVISED ☠️☠️☠️

She’ll still come second in the overall

A major surprise in Junior women's qualifying: Lina Frener fails to qualify. She's 2nd in points, has won twice this year, and has 3 second-place finishes. Rough day so far for the Norco team.

i'm sweating for this q2 and it aint just cuz its almomst 100 degrees outside...

Q2 is gonna be a thriller

Both Henry and Bernard Kerr through in Q1. Kiefer gets in after his iconic Whistler event. Vital MTB forum regular O. Clark in. Bruni DNS.

asa's first split was 7 seconds off pace. had to be a mistake up top.

Absolutely crazy qualifying, big names on to q2 and people I didn't expect through on q1. Asa needs to get through in q2, does anyone know if there was a significant mistake that put him so far off the pace?

Wyn's IG shows Asa's airbag still partially inflated as he enters the finish bowl.

Any word on Amaury? Is he okay?

The mass market also doesn't care about Cues. Walmart bikes (ozark trail) come with ltwoo and microshift. Specialized and trek offer cues on a select few bikes... maybe start looking into the real cycling market (europe) instead of your narrow american centric view. 80% of my show room is cues

I wonder how much of srams growth has been driven by acquisitions over the last few years

Well, zee has only that steel part going for it, the rest of the mech is not quite durable enough and not only it can break but they also have tendency to bend from heavy use so they end up twisted (if you look from the above, the jockey wheels are not pointed straight forward but aim to the right. It's still the best bang for the buck, but let's not pretend it couldn't be improved after all those years it's been in production.

Elite Men Q1: Top 3: Pinkerton / Stevens-McNab / Meier-Smith Fastest time: 3:19.191 (2025 fastest Q1 time: 3:09.290)
