Where does the podium use roller bearings?!

Shoutout to the dumpster diving tech detectives! Considering his issues Ronan should consider inserts. Easier to get used to riding with them than avoiding flats in race runs.

Holy hell, what a season! So stoked for Jackson to deliver under immense pressure and for Marine to quietly continue kicking ass. Amazing to see Dak at the very pointy end of things and Americans taking 3 of the top 5 spots at MSA!!! It's been the best season for Maxxis that I can remember during my decade and a half with the brand. We had 13 Elite wins out of a possible 20 available and 4 World Champs medals including a podium sweep of the Elite Men's category. Start adding in Junior results and those from enduro and it...

Congrats to Jacko, Vali and all the Riders for a wonderful World Cup. I dont know if the powers that be ever read Vital - i do hope so, but in any case I'm gonna leave It out there: WBD and the UCI have to come up with some sort of symbol or sign for the Overall Winners to wear It on the sleeve, chest or elsdwhere

If you guys still think this is AI here is some other spy shots from today look at nina’s bike

Is lobegate the new frecklegate?

They are just trolling both Yeti jr riders are future teammates for next year. Nothing said they couldn't have been current teammates sharing the podium too🤣🤣

In one of the last b practice Dak wouldn’t say what he is doing next year. I assume if it was mondraker it wouldn’t be a secret. But that’s just speculation on my part.

I don't see why Dak would move, unless he gets more money and better training conditions at another team. The bike is fast, the team is clearly working. Unless they are being underpaid, there isn't a lot better out there. Then again, maybe I'd take the pay cut to get of E13 rims.

Today's results plus everyone becoming a huge Dak fan over the last year following along with his recovery... Mondraker not resigning him would be brutal PR wise lol

Dunne to Santa Cruz just for the wheel upgrade alone 🤣

Vali wasting no time in ditching the YT gear!

And on the right day (especially with a bit of luck) a big result will come. 5 year old story...

Would make sense. No chance Laurie is getting re-signed...

hm. how to phrase this. I don't think they are racing world cups for results / to improve. basically, if the WC is in town and you qualify... just do it for fun. I mean Dante rode very well and probly outperformed all expectations including his own, but I don't think he decided to race a WC 'to win'. He may not have even seen it as a big opportunity to improve. Racers gonna race. I'm not really seeing this 'zero sum game' ideology on lower rank riders racing a WC. As if it takes away from anything. Aside from...

23 Bruni had the speed up at the end of the season. Then at MSA Ethan Craik had an insane run and was 2.4 sec faster, just to see himself obliterated by Jackson who whopped both their asses by 4,2 and 6.7 sec. It was a fairly dry MSA that year. I think we're in for something of a deja vu.

Imagine if they gave points to Juniors for qualifying. If they did, Max Alran would have locked up the overall at least a week ago. He qualified 1st 6 times and 2nd 2 times in the 9 races so far. He's going to be scary as an Elite racer.

Why can we not just have straight lines. Why does everything need a kink in it somewhere?
