2023 Racing Talk

Reece seems awlful quiet about what happened.

Based on his previous posts, I bet the moto bit him on that Cali trip.

That's just an entry list I wonder how many are actually there and going to race. 

Will we get any coverage of the Fort William BDS round? (I feel like a broken record😂). But no really, last year we had lots of coverage of pre-season racing like for Tarouca, this year not much even if WC starts so unjustifiably late. Only RAW videos I see are from US racing.

No Richie Rude...

I'd imagine there'll be a course preview and stuff on social media, but I think any coverage of the actual race is unlikely.

BDS pit bits here. we'll have raw tomorrow and sunday. tommy was out friday looking for pits stuff and it was dead. today (Saturday) he got some stuff but some teams didn't want to talk about anythng LOL

At first I was thinking that Tech Rumors could use another good derailment. But this is half relevant here. Brandon Seminuk won the latest American rally by over eleven minutes.

Seeding and race timing here

there is live timing 

Some action here

He slipped into the DHSE race this morning.  2 runs and a race run should be good enough lol

Results from Fort Williams BDS

Jordan and loic both flat rear tyre before the deer gate 

is there a link to full BDS results? british cycling site saying "no results yet"

They're up on the British Cycling site now.

I was wrong about the coverage, there are a few cameras set up at the end of the motorway, bit of a painful watch though.

I think this has them all.

thanks for the link. here's Vital RAW from yesterday and today. holy smashtacular. fort william is so freaking gnarly

I guess this goes here?

Mama Tracy comin' atcha! (And imagine having Sik Mik as your uncle?!)

DHSE Windrock Pro Men Results:  Richie Rude looked good with only 2 practices, Chris Grice looked smooth all weekend but came up just short to Dooley in the finals.   

DHSE- Asa flips OTB, still finished 4th...

Whut...

The red website's racing team is back for another season. Pretty cool tbh.

While I'm not a fan of a lot that goes on over there, that's a really cool project. And their videos from last season are very well done.

I think Cathro deserves most of the credit; from everything I've seen the guy is an absolute stand-up human and he works his effin' butt off to make good things.

He is the only good resource they have left. The rest is just press releases, advertorial content, or videos from youtube. But who cares, I just hopes he can keep racing and putting out good technical content (although the deleted Cathrovisons where the bee's knees because they where less refined IMO). I have been following him since his SDA race vlogs and it's just heartwarming to see that he has made it back to the top level. 

I think things have really started going downhill over there after Outside swept in, cut the budget and fired a bunch of people. But the PB Racing documentary series is fantastic and having their own racing team is outright just a cool thing to do.

Quinney's podcasts are pretty good

if my google skills are correct, jr xc in nove mesto starts in about 2 hours. i haven't found any links or placeholders to the free youtube live webcasts yet, but here's the world series youtube page and live tab. hopefully something shows up soon.

https://www.youtube.com/@uci_mtbworldseries/streams - live stream tab

I think the free stuff will be on the new GMBN Racing channel: https://www.youtube.com/@gmbnracing/streams

Looks like Nove Mesto coverage starts there as of May 13 with the U23 racing.

Did a miss a post about what's up w/ Finn? Looks like he's riding at home and not doing stuff w/ the rest of the team?

Shoulder injury, he posted about it on his Instagram. Looks like he is racing this weekend at the PNWcup
