Love that he has alcohol stored right under his various bike/moto fluids!

5' 9" on an XL. Sure, that sizing is on point...

Whoever commented about the reds clashing I have to agree. This is WC racing. Trek does custom paint on a lot of their consumer bikes anyway. Match the damn reds! EDIT; 5'9" on an XL!? wow.

Agreed on the paint. For a company who has typically used red as one of their main team colors its pretty half assed. Hell, just grab a black Boxxer and put red decals on it. At least that would properly match. Clashing tones of the same color, whether its paint/decals or anodized bits from different brands, are one of my big Virgo/German/perfectionist triggers.
As far as the sizing, he did put the short cups in, so its only 4-5mm longer than a large. Also keep in mind that WC DH has little to do with riding DH at local races or parks. Maximum stability becomes critical when hitting 70kph down the open piste at MSA.

Yeah I do wonder if Trek's sizing is a little dated.
I rode a friend's 2018 Session XL I few months ago and it felt really small. Trek and Spesh seem reluctant to make a DH bike with modern numbers.
By their current standards, they'd need to make in XXXL to fit me and not a giant at 6'2"
