the only thing is that until the status of the world cup is known, it's hard to imagine any teams making significant moves. it's also still pretty early in the season for actual rumors to hit.

9-11 June - Lenzerheide, Switzerland 15-18 June - Leogang, Austria 30 June-2 July - Val di Sole, Italy August - World Champs, Fort William, Scotland 23-27 August - Vallnord, Andorra 1-3 September - TBC, France 7-17 September - TBC, France 28 September-1 October - Snowshoe USA 6-8 October - Mont-Sainte-Anne So this year's world champ will get to wear the jersey for 1 race this year and 3 races next year. LOL

Agreed: "From an online spectator point of view: the lack of vital slideshows with the daily interviews and stories robs the race of any narrative. I still think this was the best format to follow the event." It feels like EWS/UCI coverage has dwindled since pre-covid when they did do a good job of really setting up the narrative around the venue and racers. Cecile vs Isabeau vs darkstar like Morgan or Bex or Melanie in Tasmania, here's the story of these trails, etc. Who'll be the first to get gelato by the sea in Finale Ligure, Richie vs Sam...

As Warner will be unemployed shortly, he is coming out of retirement to replace Greg Minaar at the Syndicate and Santa Cruz are dropping the V10 to make AXT1's for him.

All this talk a about professionalism and progressing the sport… Leaving key teams and people in the dark about what’s going to happen next year screams amateurism. Can’t imagine what it would feel like not knowing if you/your team is even racing, where the races are, what budgets needed…? I mean next year is right around the corner. Imagine 62.5% of the people within the company you’re currently working for basically don’t know if they’ve got a job next year. Yeah I’m just bummed about missing out on world cups next year also. There have been snippets of EWS racing...

I love the progression in women’s dh. But decreasing the mens field to show more women this year is not the way to go. There just isn’t enough competition yet. Hopefully in 8 years there is enough women who can race to qualify and have 30 riders who are capable of a podium on a given day. They need to be careful to give the womens field the opportunity to grow at its current pace or better itself (keep the cut off where it’s at an encourage teams to have a one or more female on the team). But the...

On one hand it'll make it really hard for up and comers to get noticed. They do a season as a privateer or on a no pay squad, they might not get the results but for sure team managers notice talent and maybe everything comes together and they string together one run in the big show......and boom, a proper ride and fame and glory beckons. On the other foot. There's a lot of 'experienced' and maybe slightly older riders going through the motions. they have been around long enough to know what to do to qualify and are on any...

Mobility scooters for the uplift.

Might just be that Pagey is only one in the paddock that speaks bogan? (this is just a dumb joke)

Disney still has nothing to do with this

an hour ago loic posted a riding photo a "MSA QUALI" to insta stories, so maybe he's good to go. let's hope so!
