In the new Wyn TV Greg said he still had a problem with a component on the bike that keeps failing. Does anyone knows what happened in his run? is it a flat.... again? maybe big man should run some inserts lol or maybe maxxis should do a goat side wall (if that's the issue)
It was his rebound on his shock at that last round.
I hope it's okay to post this, since it's racing-related, even if not Downhill:
"Despite trying conditions, Canadian cross country marathon national champion Haley Smith (Maxxis Factory Racing) shone. The Uxbridge, Ont. racer scored silver in the elite women’s World Cup XCM final. Only U.S. local Hannah Otto (Pivot Cycles) would finish ahead of the Canadian to take the win on home soil......
XC Marathon racing is a new addition to the World Cup calendar for 2023. Despite earning the World Cup name, the endurance series has not yet recieved the same level of coverage (or any live coverage at all) in the first year of Warner Bros Discovery reign as mountain biking’s official broadcasters."
The Snowshoe XCM was anemic, scary, considering its the venue for XCM worlds next year. Even though Marathon is open to literally anyone with a racing license, 33 men’s entrants and 9 Women and 18 “open” non-elite starters is definitely “not great”.
Of course if USAC hadn’t held their XCM national championship 11 hours away in Alabama over the weekend, that might have helped turnout…
If racing World Cup dh racing is part of a companies marketing, minnaar can’t be selling many reserve rims or maxxis tires with the amount he’s had tire/wheel issues this season. It’s getting to be a bit if a joke
If anything they would move it Friday. But I’ve seen a variety of weather reports from no rain to this one which is the worst case...

I am not sure if that is even a better option unless they make that plan on Monday and move everything up. What cancel Jrs Thursday morning run qualifiers after a couple hours of practice and try to race Friday?
Somebody on another website let slip a link suggesting that Lake Placid is a venue next year.
Definitely makes things easier for logistics between the US...

Interesting to see Jackson (at 17:24 in the Wyn TV video) bring up the difficulty he had maintaining speed "as a small guy."
US open race replay finally came in. good stuff!

Fantastic job on the US Open Finals video! I really appreciated the intro portion and the overview with Clay Harper. They have a lot to be proud of.
2024 calendar is on UCI website
no venues listed
DH 7 races plus worlds
enduro 6 races
Xc 7 races
On the Downtime podcast Snowshoe preview, Chris Killmurray alluded to no North American rounds in 2024
https://docs.uci.org/documents/calendar/MTB/MTB_PreCalendrier.pdf?fbcli…
shows three rounds outside Europe, one being Snowshoe. Other two killington and st Anne?
My takeaway was "additional" races in North America bringing the total up to 4 or 5 rounds.

so much for expanding the calendar
Something something global leverage something something something unrivalled storytelling...

This should be interesting....
Thats between 3 and 4 inches of rain over 2 days... with temperature in the low 60's...
Going to the bookies to spend my next paycheck on a Ronan Dunne bet, billionaire lifestyle, here I come!
When the schedule was announced, MSA in October was a hot topic. Just about everyone said the weather was going to be terrible.
What’s the over under of cancellation?
The thing is, its been absolutely beautiful the last 3 weeks, and for the next week too...
No rain, sunny, temperatures in the 70's
Lets cross our fingers the rain gets pushed on sunday 😂

Snowshoe is confirmed NOT having a 2024 World Cup.
There is a totally new country for 2024 though.
That was an exciting race and Gwin's commentary was excellent.
Even Cedric is better with him it’s like it takes pressure off him
Might actually have to follow through on this joke...
That was some performance from those two young Irish lads yesterday.

Where is that?
