Trek really needs to sign Lachlan to the Factory team for next year, pay the kid whatever he wants. The Talent in the pits between him, Loris and Reece would be unbeatable, swagger for days!!

Loris has long been rumored off Trek for next season, Lachie is a no-brainer for TFR.
Curious: do they ever try to focus riders practice at the same time of day as their actual Finals race? In other words, Women's Finals, 12pm, therefore, their practice times would be 11:00-1pm?
It seems that vision is a quiet topic these days, so consistency of light from practice to race seems like a legit goal.

On the day before qualifying, the group B and A afternoon training sessions are around the same time of day as elite women's and men's finals.

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?
It's my understanding that the fees to the UCI are already one of the largest costs in putting on a WC.
Maybe if the fees weren't so high, that money could be used for prizes.
we still never got to see a flip at a uci race. kaos said if he qualied in snowshoe (2019?) he'd flip the first jump instead...
we still never got to see a flip at a uci race. kaos said if he qualied in snowshoe (2019?) he'd flip the first jump instead of the skip everyone was doin
the tomfoolery he pulls on the old rampage course when it was more trick jumps and less youtube click bait shit was epic. ya im missin kaos n kade at the WCs
Not in finals right? The whole issue is the guys able to flip often aren't the guys making qualies. Well. Except for Rennie but I don't...
Not in finals right? The whole issue is the guys able to flip often aren't the guys making qualies. Well. Except for Rennie but I don't think he committed to throwing away a finals race with a flip necessarily. Need Spomer lore on this lol
I believe it was, in fact, in finals; and on his homemade bike, at that. However, it was an attempt that ultimately ended in eating shit. Not a great backflip jump haha.
A quote from the other site, "Pretty much I decided yesterday I was going to go back after this race and probably not really race anymore, so I figured I’d try to get a race run flip before I lost my chance. Kinda called it out before going back to look at the jump, so by the time I scoped it out and saw how flat it actually was, I’d already kindof commited. Convinced myself it was possible by the time practice was over so I just went for it in my race run haha. Obviously didnt work out amazingly, but I'm stoked I tried."

Oof I actually remember seeing this now. Ya that's not quite the jump I'd call someone on to for a flip lol. Legend for the send but especially on a race DH bike that's probably how that one was gonna go lol. Borderline anti hop lip. Rear suspension probably trying to suck in rebound before it left the wood.
Any one know why it looked like Womens overall podium was top 5 and Men’s was top 3
My guess is they still see the women’s side as still growing and want to help the careers of four and five. Where men’s is pretty grown so they just don’t care about those guys.
It looked on Nina and Myriam that they were not prepared for it really, coming from the crowd... Maybe someone messed up, they had to get extra bottles for bubbly for them as well it looked like.

It's mentioned in the Vital finals post from that specific race, second bullet point.
