why do you assume that by sponsoring crc paypal would gain more exposure in europe?

What's the actual implication of not being an official trade team?

Can they still race?

from Sessler:

For us not to be an elite team is unfortunate and I like to look at the positive side. We will pay more for tech space, but that money we pay will go directly to the race promoter and help them, rather than getting the 80m2 space for free that we get by being a trade team. We won't be in a premiere location for tech space, but Devinci and Giant will be in the same boat as us, as far as I understand. So fans will have to seek us out! However I think Ratboy will be easy to find!

We obviously won't get points towards a team overall, but downhill is an individual sport anyway, so I'm not bothered by this. That, and we don't have a girl on the Syndicate, so we would have a tough time earning points to be the top trade team. We will have to have the riders' federations enter them rather than being able to use the nice online entry system that UCI has for trade teams. This is what we did before trade team status so we just go back to the old ways. We will miss the rainbow passes that help get us access to crucial work areas where we need to be.

I guess its not surprising if thats a test mule, but that appears to be an aluminum frame - thus explaining why he lost to a Rude and his crabon downduro™ machine.

dat heel rub tho

must be running boost 157

Weird that they already overthrow a 1(?) year old carbon frame design instead of just slapping a 650b-compatible rear triangle on it.

looks more like a revised precept.

Its a Precept 200 with the mount on the DT instead of the TT.

Having watched/filmed someone jump that gap I must say the pic doesn't do it justice...so big

When something looks huge in a picture or on video, you know that it's absolutely fucking mind bogglingly anus puckeringly ginormous in person.

to be frank, Steve is not good at all. not enough just running at mach 3. Brake for fuck's sake!

Pretty sure you mean something else entirely. But, nice story - felt like I was there.

 

[TrumbullHucker]

Steve is not good at all.

its hard to stop a̶ t̶r̶a̶n̶e̶ the chainsaw

 

[tomasis7]

to add another thing, it is psychological pressure he failed to deal with. He probably thought "ohhh, I want to be no. 1" and therefore sacrificing own body riding "brakeless",

Well the last season he raced, we was exactly that.



What are we going to do without cheesy redbull footage at the end of the season with steve smith and rat face standing 5 inches apart staring each other down? Gee actually took that shit seriously and so it was horrible.

I want to see steve smith and ratty just crack up and give that hype the response it deserves.

Top 20 riders are excellent, anyone of them could win.

I think Ratty has advantage over Steve that he seem not care what place he gets. Having fun all time and wake up in morning, thinking "holy shit, im world champion!". Steve is opposite to that. He doesn't lack technical skills for sure but he needs to find a own Jesus if he has to keep up the hype surrounding him

Gwin is in different class regarding self confidence despite reference to his God and faith.

Competition is good no matter what. MOAR injuries, blood, broken teeth and it couldnt be more sweet than that.
