I wonder why Seagrave chose the Soft tire (orange) compound over the Ultra Soft (purple) compound. Also wondering if she was using SG casing.

The slightly "harder" rubber on the orange compound probably dug into the loose loam a little better but still had good grip on rocks & roots.

Gwin was also running the harder dual compound up front over the super soft 40a Aquila. I think that sort of compound is useful on super slick flat surfaces like slab rock and roots, but I would guess is damn squirmy on hardpack and under big g-forces.
