It's a pity Nina is out of the Crankworks DH with a head injury. 😧

It's been a poor year for Nina. Elbow injury still causing issue?

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

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.
