Crankworx website has 3:30-6:00 pm as the time for DH finals, does anyone know what time zone that is? Would like to try and make time to watch it live today.

Jackson (on the Crankworx broadcast) just said he'd be back racing "around October".

Danny Hart borrowing a rando's front wheel at the top of the track right before dropping in because of a flat issue is amazing.

"Wow that was a big one for @kyeahern 🤯 but miraculously he’s ok. After some x-rays and CT scans in Vancouver we have confirmation that nothing is broken just a big bruise on his back and pretty banged up! Time for some rest before world champs in Andorra."

What happened to Jesse M?

Were his bars too wide?😉

He burped his front ( if I’m correct) tire and couldn’t push hard on the race run. And I guess the “bar” got wider as the night progressed! Haha

No worries. A successful outing on a heavier bike. Good training for his E edr racing/rumour

I don't know what the consensus is regarding the Paris XCO track, but two things to say:

1. It's rad that MTB is represented in the Olympics

2. XC is becoming bad ass - this is such a sick shot!

That actually looks gnarly doing it on a 100-ish travel xc bike.

Trouble is for 99% of the course a gravel bike would be more suitable.

Yeah, I went to checkout the whole course on social media, didn't seem as rad I had hoped for. At least there's some sections that look cool.

Think we could convince UCI to mount this in the start gate instead of a commercial kitchen mat?

Some people have mentioned a light on Loic’s bike, but I can’t find any photos of it. I’ve seen his button set up, but just a thought…. What if the if the light (if there is one) what a different colour of a set sequence, set for each track differently. To be reminder to what colour button to hit next, and when he hits the button it kills the light intill the next Color/section comes up..

I posted the screen grabs after fort William. If you check his GoPro footage you'll see the LEDs on his stem and when he presses the button.

I wish they would use Neveplast.

Snow grass? Wouldn't that be way slicker in the wet especially on rubber tires & caked up mud at the gate?

Well, I don't class myself as much of an XC fan, but what Pidcock just achieved was nothing short of amazing. One of the most exciting finishes to a race I've ever seen.

Lead, lost the lead due to flat tire and incompetent support team, down 38 seconds, came back to win. What a machine

Booing at the finish line and during the medal ceremony is very poor form IMO. Pidcock won fair and square.

Totally agree. If anything, Koretzky diving to the inside of that turn once he realized what was happening was the uglier move here.

Thank you for spoiling the race having not gotten to watch it.

 I literally just saw the women's XC last night despite the insanity of the replay have 120 SECOND COMMERCIAL breaks every 5 minutes of coverage. That was infuriating.  Anyone else watch the Peacock replay and just have to give up on watching the entire event and skip over 30 minutes of racing to get on with it?
