that would be Mr. Hill. the number 1 plate is reserved for defending world champ. same reason brosnan is sporting the number 1 plate also as he is the defending junior champ.

Anyone notice how many usual clipless riders are on flats for the weekend? I know a lot of riders rode flats last year because of the mud, but does the steepness play into pedal/shoe choice?

i don't think it's steepness as much as the forecast is calling for rain on the weekend. i'm guessing clipped riders who are on flats now are just getting reacquainted with them in preparation for the changing race day conditions.

re. freecaster and uci....talked to the owner of FC at crankworx, and he said the UCI dropped a demand of $100,000 on the table for broadcast rights next year, as they already make no money off it freecaster's decision wasn't a hard one, unfortunately....as like all sports orgs, it's an old boys club who thinks people should pay them to sit around and be act like they're important......freecaster and the other web content over the past few years have been the best thing to happen to dh racing, and as usual the UCI doesn't get it, at all.

All true, also, I was told this gem yesterday at the track "the marketing director of the uci, lives 20 minutes from champery, she's not coming to watch, and has never been to a DH race".
Love the uci!
Thunderstorms here woke my ass up, sounds like a good dose of rain we got.

So the marketing director of the uci isnt showing up to the biggest event of the year!

I think Everyone should email and ask why.

Anyone interested in starting a new Cycling organization? Maybe one that actually respects all its disciplines equally.

I see you're not familiar with the UCI. :rofl:

Witness what they've done to professional road racing, and you'll see that it's a farce of a governing body. As a shakedown organization intent on lining officials' pockets, they're top notch however.

Clearly because it isn't a road/track or skateboarding event. She decided to schedule her wedding this weekend.

Oh and they had no sponsors for this event because... "Mountain biking is a hard sport to explain to outside companies".

Apparently she got her "marketing" degree from a cracker jacks box.

Anyway, she probably isn't much different than 90% of the "marketing directors" out there. I guess on the plus side, at least there doesn't appear to be "press releases" scattered about the web exalting her as the UCI's "marketing director" or "brand manager".
