MOAR?
He seems like one of the fittest riders on the circuit.
Have you seen him take the piss out of the EWS E power stages skooling most of the Ebikers by riding his normal enduro bike up them?
I think he just comes across a guy who's made a good career as a professional racer and actually still loves riding bikes as much as possible. and sadly those two things don't always seem to go hand in hand.
Fitness has different forms. You need different things for enduro vs DH. Never trained your whole winter to fix an issue you had only to realize that thing was hiding another physical weakness you had? Like strength or muscular endurance in a specific part of your body that helps you control your bike at higher speeds?
I agree on the 2nd part. Kinda a bummer. Generally maybe if the tracks were more technical with more weird lines and less high speeds guys like him would have more chance.

Jesus will not approve of the language Gwin just used. Finn nearly died about four times on that run.

Someone's going to have to wallride the outside pads on that last bridge to beat that. Wild!
