the enduro evo is not an enduro bike
Think 7" sx trail or something similar

year 2 roca Jesús is on the team and they still cant get the damn DH sled correct? The money must have been ****ing killer for gwin to go to specialedSo this is race two with their own pro WC team with a glowing endorsement of their dh bike
I mean to be fair, the last two tracks are pretty bike parky with a **** ton of pedaling.....
marketing dept probably made the call

Dude this is a bike race thread, take the gay porn somwhere else.

At what point is a front fender cooler than riding blind, I wonder?
Box components to the rescue!

This thread is pure gold.
Part of me wonders if Mitch has an incentive built into his contract where he gets bonus money for every race he chooses to race the Enduro 29 over the Demo.

Uhhh, he probably has it written into his contract that they will only let him ride the 29'er. Probably the whole purpose of him on the team is to hype the 29'er. Not actually contend for a win or overall.
In the absence of much professional video footage this year, we're going to be watching a lot more of this sort of thing:

not my fault that other have too vivid fantasies.
That's about how fast my riding boner deflates when someone starts talking about 29'ers
Even though conditions seem like they'd favor a DH bike I'm not surprised by Gwin's choice. He lost every WC on the Demo, then won on the Enduro Evo. Might as well stick with what feels good. I am surprised by Brosnan since he's had good results on the Demo and been riding it for years. I'd love to know why he changed bikes this week.

Two uphills and a sprint finish.
Don't forget TB posted 2nd fastest time of the day at champerey world champs - boy can ride in the wet. Still gutted that the jnrs weren't/aren't telecast at world champs. He was the only rider other than Danny hart to hit that nuts off camber drop that day, clipped in and got all his "dry" lines.

if you google 'uci live timing' the first result is what you want.
One of the fastest/gnarliest dudes on the WC circuit thinks a track obstacle is too silly/dangerous and everyone tells him to harden up? Hahaha. I think he might have a slightly better idea than a bunch of keyboard warriors.
Redbull should air the DH qualifying instead of XCE. Dear god is that a lame discipline.
Oh so true, glad I'm not the only one thinking that.
I get what you are saying and I'm always for sections that separate riders by skill not fitness and pedal mashing.
I haven't seen the whoops in person so I'm not commenting on them but I just don't like the attitude where riders may never complain about dangerous features. Yes it is true that when one rider complains it is usually him but sometimes the whole field complains and I still hear the dude bros saying real men don't complain. It just pisses me off where real riders now can't voice their opinion because the internerdz think it's not cool.
Also I think there is a difference between something dangerous and something that just bad to crash. The Rockgarden in Maribor is bad to crash in but I rode it and even going at crazy speeds the chance something unexpected will happen is small while the margin for error is fairly big. A bad feature has it the other way around.
@Dan-o read the paragraph above. Difficult and dangerous doesn't mean the same thing.
