Decent vid about Danny's bike history (although some wacky measurements from Steve Jones). Found it funny Danny spend just over 1 minute on Saracen and doesn't show a Myst (maybe he didn't keep one?).
Just saw this one, always a favourite gas to flat Brayton off Hope Factory after they disbanded the team. Supported by Nukeproof for bikes and clothes, Hope for parts and now a few others but no factory backing.
I still wonder what happened with him and Santa Cruz or Greg. I doubt Greg would give up his long time mechanic just like that
100 percent speculation but marshy is a bit older and as awesome as being greg’s mechanic is he probably is looking to do a bit more. Be the dougie fresh of a team and Santa already has dougie fresh.
Pretty horrible news from a french national round, Daprela and Amaury P. airlifted out after crashing on the same spot over 2 days. Daprela broke his helmet and suffered facial injuries, hoping both of them are doing ok and back on track soon.
Scary about both crashes. I've smashed my face with a full face on and it's not fun. 2005 Bromont Canada cup I front flipped on the rock face in practice and a log went perfectly between everything. Scary shit at speed. I'd even had my goggles off because I'd run out of tear-offs and couldnt see after days of rain. If it had been a rock not sure I'd have come off that hill.
have heard amaury punctured lungs. is there any confirmation to that? so gnarly for both of them. gutted. here's thibaut's mug. so brutal.

Only news from Amaury is that it is looking like ribs and liver damage. All these updates for Pierron are pretty much hearsay on various sites, there is no official word so far. Gutted, now I understand why the top pros don't bother with smaller national races...
I think that's a false conclusion. Top Pros bother
to show up at any race that matters. That might be for preparation, speed gauge or price purse or bragging rights. They also become top pros because the don't shy away from heavy competition. Imo there's is no fiercer competition than a French Cup besides the WC. Also in Gwins latest Insideline Podcast he says he lacks to have had smaller local races this Offseason to be prepared for the WC. Also if Pierron, Daprela or Gwin aren't Top Bros, who is?
