I don't know that none changed. Minnaar changed to wets and then changed back to drys and he felt that that was the right choice. They weren't really on mud, more like greasy hardpack. I didn't really hear that many of the riders whining either, they mostly seemed bemused by it.
In ski racing they will cancel a race, but not that big a deal since there are like 40 races. Also, they can end a race half way through and is still counts! Happened with the Hannenkahm in 2016. How pissed would the riders be if half of them didn't even get to ride and it still counted? Of...
All things being equal, I will definitely take sponsorships into consideration when I am buying stuff. For example, I put Mobil 1 oil in my cars because the support McLaren (as soon as I run out, switching to Castrol since the sponsorship changed for 2017). Bike stuff isn't all the same, but...

When I read the interview it looked to me like he was talking about just 30 riders being at the race for the whole weekend. Think about how many of our top-30 riders this season wouldn't have even been able to start in Lourdes if that had been the case. I just took a look at start numbers for...
I've got two M9s in my garage, mine and my daughter's. I got mine from the first batch and have had zero problems. Got hers used this spring, it's a year or two newer. Mine creaks a bit, but mostly it goes away if I make sure the spring is sitting on the collar properly.
I think you'd be nuts to drop the BOS without trying it. I have the Deville on my trail bike and while getting it serviced has been a total pain in the ass, it is worth it. Distribution and service is now through Quality Bicycle Products, so I think it's safe to assume that service will be...
