Yeah. That's always going to be an exclusive club. I'd still consider podiums a decent level of success

Is Rachel coming back to ride? They probably couldn't source another set for her.
That would have been such a good event to be part of with that kind of attendance!Yes in 2013 at Val d'Allos

I fully agree on EWS to DH transition being much more difficult, my point was Richie was winning at the highest level in DH as a junior until Yeti pulled the team. He was a WC DH racer before EWS was even a thing, which is a different situation than it would be for most EWS guys trying to race world cup DH.
should also mention that in his last year of Jrs, Richie was racing up in Elite. his results weren't stellar, but that was also a different era of racing than today. gwin, minaar, hill, atherton, etc were still the ones to beat.
edit to add: the year he won jr worlds he beat Vergier by almost 6 seconds. if he had been racing elite for worlds (not allowed) his time would have put him in 14th.

actually, he raced up his first year as a jr too. 2nd at worlds in '12 (behind Bruni)
Bruni owned him in Juniors Similar to Brosnan and Neko in Juniors. Without Brosnan and Bruni the USA would have dominated Juniors for years. I'm a huge Richie fan but I don't see him beating Bruni. Bruni at his best is the best Imo
Both Brosnan and Vali Holl racing the first Enduro World Series event in Maydena, Tasmania this weekend. Should be good. The course is very DH orientated, perhaps too much so (I believe they're toning it down a little) so I expect they'll both enjoy themselves.
I rode a fair bit of the course a few weeks ago, good luck to the racers - wish I could be there to race/participate/marshal/spectate for this one but no luck.

I remember him at nationals at mt snow in 2007 when he was a kid, i had no idea who he was at the time. Think he won his class by a minute. Been following his career ever since.

Gnarly course. I’m just happy to get down in 1 piece on some of them. Brosnan will be on his Torque I imagine.
This race is this weekend? I haven’t seen any coverage whatsoever. UCI and Chris Ball off to a hot start.
You racing? If you're in Open rather than Pro they're still toning down some stuff. When I saw the OG course plan I thought they were on drugs, especially if it rains.
No I’m nursing a sore thumb from a rather big one. So watching the Rally Australia race nearby. Going to spectate Derby though.
when I saw the track I was thinking the same. And especially if it rained as well. I don’t care what level elite you were that would’ve been the toughest gravity race to period if they went ahead with it.
Yep, Yeah Gnar and Gnar Yeah in the rain would be a gong show, even for the worlds best. I'm half surprised they didn't make them do Zen Garden lily pad. From what I've heard they've put in some B lines, and closed off one or five features. My mates are racing and they reckon the courses are still being updated as we go. Spectating would be wicked though.
Derby should be sick too, keen to see what that new Cuddles track runs like.
I could see it being a bit awkward in canyonland if Brosnan were to beat Jesse
Really? that's awesome.
I think he can win it. But my pick is Luke Meier Smith. Hes been at Maydena a lot recently.
Guys should jump on the Maydena bike park insta and see the previews of the stages. Man they’ll be going through brake pads. Weather looks good too.
Toodles, cuddles looks wide open fast
Vali caught Epstein Barr last fall, we shall see if she's fit already. I hope so.
Frig. Neko broke his hip in practice today. https://www.instagram.com/p/CqMVGfhtI7j/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
Damn that sucks, he's lucky Asa didn't fully blast him as well.
Weird wreck, seemed like the fork just didn't rebound.
Pretty sure he's testing some new damper parts for Fox....
That is a huge bummer. Neko seems like a guy thats passionate about DH Racing from building parks to racing to designing bikes. I was so pumped for him putting his frameworks machine within a second of Loic just last weekend. Gotta be so crushing mentally dealing with losing a season you've put everything into. I guess the silver lining is he got his bike on the podium against some of the worlds best prior to injury?
