Lachie Stevens-Mcnab backs up his seeding result, taking home the win at the USO today! While Nina Hoffmann takes her THIRD US Open win in a row. Rad stuff #USDH
Some real tight times in womens. Easily the most competitive race I've seen in the US. Of course snow shoe was more stacked but the times were much more spread out.
Big congrats to Aletha Ostgaard and Dak for putting USA on the box for the home fans. The 3 peat was always going to be a really tall order.
-Lachie took SIX POINT TWO SECONDS out of his qualifying time. Unreal. 🤯
-Four Americans in the top ten, in a stacked international field not seen at the USOpen since 09/10.
-Four WC winners in the top ten!
-Peaty made it into the final?!? Did someone decide not to race, and that bumped him up or what?
I know we’ll get more updates soon, but if anyone reading was there today, and has cool stories to tell, please give ‘em up! That’s why we’re all here, after all…

Man what the heck was Lachy seeing on that track. We need a gopro from the man because he was riding in the matrix. Just on his own pace. Can't wait to see replay if we can get most of that run in.
Looks like a bunch of missed flags in the full results. George Brannigan and Kye A'hern are now canadian. Wyn is british
Typically it’s because the team manager who registered them got lazy and just put where the team is located, hence why kolb on atherton has a British flag and Matt walker (kiwi) on pivot has a British flag as well
What a great weekend. Dual Slalom drew the short straw weather wise, but there were some tight battles. Whip-off was a great time. It was awesome getting to watch the world cup riders with all the local/regional riders. It's wild how fast they are in person. It's a weekend that makes me almost want to race some dh. but, then again, it's also a great weekend to have fun, ride bikes and watch some great racing.

Average home price in NZ is $900k+ sadly, a drop in the ocean. But yes, great to see the Prize purse up there. UCI needs to do the same.
Want to live in Sydney Australia? You will need $1.6m AUD for the median home.
Shit is bananas.
As long as the UCI leaves the prize purse to be boosted at the WC venue host's discretion instead of already having a sum worthy of a world cup, this is wishful thinking.
However, isn't it funny how these venues never actually top up the prize money to a meaningful amount?
Great again? Have mtb prize purses ever been great?
I got a T-shirt for winning a mtb national championship (age category) that cost £60 to enter. Meanwhile I got between £50-90 every weekend for podiuming at Cx races that were £10 to enter.
It's live—US Open race coverage from the Gravity Co-op!
As always, so much gratitude to everyone who puts these shows together. I can only imagine turning these around is a massive lift, but they play a huge role in growing #USDH. Enjoy everyone!

USA Cycling Announces Postponement of Collegiate Mountain Bike Nationals
The 2024 USA Cycling Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championships will be postponed due to damage to the host city and surrounding areas caused by Hurricane Helene.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – October 1, 2024 – On Tuesday, USA Cycling announced that the 2024 USA Cycling Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championships, originally scheduled for October 24-27 at Ride Rock Creek in Zirconia, North Carolina, will be postponed indefinitely due to the damage caused by Hurricane Helene. The storm significantly impacted the host city and surrounding areas, making it impossible to safely host the event as planned.
USA Cycling is actively working to reschedule the event and will provide updates as soon as they become available. The safety of participants, staff, volunteers, and the local community was the top priority driving this decision.
“We understand how disappointing this news is for the collegiate cycling community, and everyone involved,” said Kyle Knott, Director of National Events. “However, considering the destruction caused by Hurricane Helene, postponing is the right decision to ensure everyone’s safety and allow the local community time to recover. Our thoughts are with all those who have been personally affected by this storm.”
Athletes and teams that have already registered for the event will be refunded. Further updates will be shared on usacycling.org and USA Cycling’s social media channels as they become available.

world cup u23 XCO lake placid live webcast replay - women's and men's.
I’m putting my money on Richie for the win. Also rad to see how tight the women’s times are!
Stacked names across the board, and one of the best US Opens to date. I can’t wait to watch the replay from the Gravity Co-op
Ya this total field is so good I almost wish we set up a one off fantasy for it. Big names from all over.
So hungry for racing. I’m guessing they won’t be live streaming the open, but will put together a video after the race like normal?
Yep they’ll have a race replay. Stoked to see it!
YESSSSSSS LACHIE!!!!!!! FTW!!!!!!!

For the crap season Nina has had, that’s a hell of a redemption!

Gwin in 9th. In this field, thats pretty serious business. Hope he's pumped with that.
Who got the hole shot? Was it Matt Walker?
That's because Wyn was doing it for the Bulldog!
Typically it’s because the team manager who registered them got lazy and just put where the team is located, hence why kolb on atherton has a British flag and Matt walker (kiwi) on pivot has a British flag as well
$15k USD is roughly $23k and change in NZD. Talk about a come up for Lachie!
Can put a down payment on a starter home with that type of cash. Make prize purses great again!
