Not True.

Notes on the points standings after 8 races: Women Elite: Vali Höll is now in 1st by 127 points over Gracey Hemstreet with 2 races remaining. Her consistency has to make her a solid favorite to win the overall for the 3rd straight year. Men Elite: Loic Bruni moved into 1st place by 100 points over Jackson Goldstone. He was 195 points back after 5 races. Bruni won the overall in 2023 and 2024, but it's worth remembering that 2024 was an injury year for Goldstone (and he went 2nd overall in 2023, with a win at Mont-Ste.-Anne in the...

A few notes: I'm pretty sure Tahnee Seagrave and Amaury Pierron are the only riders to qualify in Q2 and go on to win the race. Vali Höll has now earned more than 200 points in 7 consecutive races. The lowest amount of points she earned this year was 170 in the first race of the season. She has also been on the podium in 7 straight races, which also leads all Elite riders. Jackson Goldstone's 65 points in today's race is his lowest point total for a race where he qualified in Q1.

Some of you didn’t obsess over the photos of Steve Jones testing bikes in Dirt mag, and it shows.

any and all relationship drama and discussions can be started in a new thread in the OFF THE BIKE forum area, NOT The Hub - https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/VitalMTB/Off-the-Bike,3 - any topics like that started in The Hub will be nuked. any more relationship drama and discussion in this thread will be deleted.

The paradox is if you're a true Scotsman you'd never spend the money. 🤣

I hate to be even mentioning the subject again but could all the people making snide comments about a certain relationship stop and think about how the younger party feels about having her private life as a topic of conversation? Most of the people frowning on the relationship probably waffle on about mental health constantly while being oblivious to the effect their own comments have on people. I'm all for free speech but these professionals are entertaining us and putting their lives on the line for peanuts and some readers of these Mtb sites are talking trash about riders private...

Lol, wtf am i getting dragged into this for. But gives me a better idea of who went to the hassle to make a fake linkedin a few months ago to sh** talk me there of all places. As far as which US races get points, go to the UCI calendar on the uci website and filter down to the mtb races specific to the US (or any country you want). It'll tell you which class it is. Last couple pages of the rule book UCI MTB Regulations will tell you how many points that event is worth. earlier in...

I wasn’t raininv that hard to make a big difference. Most people at the finish area weee still hanging out in tshirts and shorts. A camera went down. Imagine the outrage if they went ahead and didn’t broadcast the last 5 riders.

"2. Closing a feature to a single group of contestants alone is wrong. Build a course that is rideable for everyone! Also junior woman." Can't get behind this take. The difference in ability between elite men and junior women is massive.They should instead make a more interesting B-line than just a wooden ramp to the side, should make it more enjoyable for the riders.

Guessing that everything looked rosie as well as being clear?

An EXTREMELY simplified explanation of why video gets blurred: The more detail in an image, the more data is required to describe that image. There's a limit to how much data cameras can capture in real time, how much they can send in "real time," how much broadcasters can send in "real time," how much internet service providers can receive and send in "real time," and how much your TV provider can send in "real time." The downstream folks tell the upstream folks how much they can handle. The on-site broadcast is assembled in real-time and sent to the folks...

Crab stick

hold on, so the fans want more races, more new venues, more sick tracks BUT the venues, regions or towns that pay for the right to host said new tracks etc. are not allowed have their name mention on live TV? Why? Cos it's not core? Make it make sense 😁😅

That whole episode is worth a listen.

If you listen to the latest Downtime podcast, it was Neko who invited Ken and set up the whole thing. I can't help but feel that people are in the habit now of only seeing everything from a purely negative perspective - maybe we could all get a grip and stop whinging 100% of the time...

@sspomer any chance that you can promote/post the q2 replay to the front page? I didn't look at the q2 results from the Loudonville and was able to watch it without spoilers. It was tricky as I had to cover both eyes and scroll the form to find it. Makes for a fun pre-race race if you can catch it spoiler free.
