The lip looks so flat for that river gap

Gonna need to be cooking!  Hopefully the speed trap is there.

So from that press conference it sounds like the threat of a strike got rid of the semi finals. I'm surprised that's not bigger news. Get on the Headline Spommer!

Asa's first run. 

Track looks good, only 1 or 2 low speed sections the whole track. 

Few line choices

has anyone figured out a cheaper way to watch the race then paying for the max ad on? Wonder if you can do a discovery + with a UK Vpn to watch it instead?

Just buy a MAX sub, HBO has some really good content. If you like Game of Thrones, you'll like the prequel House of the Dragon. a lot of really good shows on MAX. And now all the race coverage. I pay $16 a month for ad free service which includes everything on MAX. $16 is not much, you can cancel after race season and watch the shows you like while you have it.

If you're not already a subsriber to MAX, the B/R sports add-on is free at the moment for a "limited time" though they don't specify the...

If you're not already a subsriber to MAX, the B/R sports add-on is free at the moment for a "limited time" though they don't specify the duration of the limited time.

Oh killer, we'll see how long the free last. But that's good to hear.

Has Asa ever ridden this track before?

My impression was that they were talking about the semis being moved from finals day to the day before, rather than them being got rid of (unfortunately).

Asa certainly wasn't hanging about.  Section before the road gap looks to be the only real slow part

I’ve been following him for a while, and I don’t believe that he has.

I like the track. It is definitely a bit less rough and it is overall faster the years prior, but the fresh berms will rough up quickly. The upper section will be the decider. Times will be insanely close. Riders will not break for a the whole two bottom splits I guess.

Word, was def'ly aware of that and not interested at all. This being on Max helps - why not watch. But semis?  Nah. I thought this was saying boycotting semi's entirely. I'm slow...

Except for a few Crankworx he hasn’t really raced out of the US

I just want to say for the record, being able to buy multiple top dogs in each category is so much more fun than pinkbike's league where getting one rider takes up 60% on the team budget.

I just want to say for the record, fuck Pinkbike for making the prizes available for only 4-5 countries!

One of the cool things about fantasy games with prizes is in my opinion the fact that things can be won by people in places who aren't as wealthy as others and to some true fans their passion for the sport could be game changing for their riding. I really don't grasp why you would pull a dick move like that. 

So hats off to Vital for being able to put together such a generous purse each round!

Nope, semis are still on, just moved.

Quali and semis now on the same day, race day is now one run for all the glory.

Two rough slams from practice today. Sounds like they're both okay. Hauser dislocated his finger but seems like he'll still be racing.

Any word on whether the Junior finals and Elite semi's will the broadcast for free on Youtube like last year? I haven't came accross anything confirming such. 

Also can't wait for some Vital RAW to drop!

They are supposed to be according to PB but you'd never know it from looking at the UCI MTB page: https://www.youtube.com/@uci_mtbworldseries
