The commentators should know if a feature like a big jump is closed of for safety reasons. As the jump was closed of a day earlier. There is a lack of present representation in the commentators boot.

They’ve always been this way. Besides the RapidRise and Dual Control failures, they usually play things super conservative. It’s also interesting how they’ve come up with some unique standards like Centerlock that nobody wants to fully embrace. Sram has been the more innovative company for two decades now. I think it’s literally a dishonor to Shimano’s culture to admit defeat...

Since Ronan is currently injured why not invite him to commentate using his ratboy impression. Hell invite ratboy too. Nobody would understand much but it would still be an improvement.

I’ve been on the “give them time to figure it out” train regarding the broadcast commentary but last nights race was painful. We’re 3 seasons in so there’s really no excuse. Having Neko in the booth was a band aid solution at best. I can’t help but wonder why they haven’t addressed this? Does nobody want the job? I know this is a long shot but imagine having wyn and ed masters in the booth who know the riders personally and have both charisma and race experience.

Healing vibes for sure. The Raw footage of people sending that thing had me concerned. Except for maybe Goldstone, I didn’t see anyone make it look clean. What a race though! No spoilers, but Amaury…🤯

Healing vibes to Lou Ferguson who took a nasty fall during the first training session at the South Korea World Cup. She's in hospital with broken ribs and "stable vertebrae fractures". It's extra unfortunate that the jump in question was actually closed for racing later. Message from the team below: ------------------------ "During the opening practice session, Lou suffered a heavy crash on the big jump at the top of the track. After being one of the first riders to attempt the feature, Lou realised she lacked the necessary speed on the approach. She cased the landing and was bucked, resulting...

So glad there aren’t a bunch of other parts on bikes with those issues!

I think you underestimate the "I want the best of the best" market of people who buy nice things to leave in their garage.

I think one of the largest "We're not in Kansas anymore" moments I had when I began working for a component manufacturer after years in bikes shops was when I had the insignificance of aftermarket sales explained to me. Don't get me wrong, every brand worth their salt is going to support aftermarket product bc why leave money on the table, but OE sales are king in the bike industry and ultimately OE sales drives every design decision. SRAM gets to push the convenience of full SRAM spec by limiting cross compatibility. For brands like Canyon, Specialized, etc., who are...

I wouldn't quite compare them to Apple, but ultimately they want to be a one stop shop for their OEM customers.

I figure they just kept all the rocks they picked out of all the other courses the last few years and put them all in this one to throw everyone off.
