I don't find it crazy, they might not of have the ability to get along when they were in direct competition with each other, but now that has ended they may find they share some common ground. Tahnee's team may be having a little trouble with sponsorship (just a hunch and no facts to back this up, weird team setup though), maby if she can take some sponsors to Atherton it would be mutually beneficial.

Take this to the other MTB site please. We are here for racing rumors.

Competitive Pokemon was not on my Vital bingo card for today lol

Waaaaaaaaasup guuuuuuuuuuuuys, It's me Matt Jones and I'm going to be racing a World Cup Downhill race.......but with 24" wheels, it's going to be so lit, i'm feeling very demuure hahahahahah I'm amazing...... but wait for it.......I'm driving there in my Lamborghini.......I know craaaaazy right.Smash that like button and please for the love of god I've got 5 kids to feed now, buy my merch.

I find the emphasis on social media presence worrying. Racing should be about who's fastest, not who gets the most likes.

Blimey that's quite the read . Have I understood that right ? teams can have up to 10 riders but they can only enter 4 in the race ? If so I'd like to volunteer my services as the 10th rider , free bike and kit without the pressure of actually racing . The Scott Carson of mountain biking . The reference to outside industry sponsorship in How teams get chosen leaves me uneasy , seems ripe for abuse .

There's some heavy stuff in there. You'd think it would be better to kick off the Continental Series (feeder series of events) a couple of years before making the World Cups more exclusive to give riders a chance to adjust to/prepare for the changes.

Tony Ellsworth?

Thanks, I didn't pay attention to these details. I haven't had any contact to Tahnee or Tony or FMD personally, but I always admired her story and how their family supported the racing. It is quite something. On the other hand, I have met Rach more than once and I confirm what you say, and her brothers more than that and they must be some of the nicest people on the circuit, regardless of what PB commentators think of Gee's facial expressions. I actually vividly remember right now how I was in Livigno exactly 20 years ago, looking for a...

I understand where you're coming from but he's a grown man with his own views I'm sure . If an MBA at your work tells you that you now have to do your job standing on your head you have 2 options , you either do it or you don't . Without wanting to get all godwins law about it , following orders isn't a justifiable defence anymore . For what it's worth I think some of the criticism of WB over the past couple of years has been over the top . I don't have a problem with paying...

Kolb is going to YT, loris to commy, reece is going to a new program with a big budget outside of the MTB industry Enduro budgets are gone and all but a very few teams will disappear to bolster the DH teams need to gather high UCI points riders of all categories to remain “elite” teams and get one of the few spots available Oh and Ebikes are 100% gone from world cups

The main race seems to be who can hug the winner first now

And every single metric socket had a standard sized driver. Still does world wide today. I was just a joke, I use metric all day at work. Most of the time Americans measure distance in time anyways. Question: How far is it? Answer: About an hour.

It's how countries that haven't been to the moon measure distance.

If we go with 10cm diameter to round up, there is 100000cm in a kilometer / 10cm = 10,000 cheeseburgers stack side by side hell yeah brother!

Lachie Stevens McNab at a guess. He's due a big ride. Trek or Syndicate I'm spitballing.

What the fuck is a kilometer?

FMD / Atherton. Tahnee and Kolb. Would make for a strong podium threat team at every race.
