Lenzerheide World Champs
- Thread starter toodles
- Start date
As funny as it would be for Maes to win, I'm rooting for MacDonald. Dude had the first race and after seeing him break the ground and then ride down with a broken collarbone....savage.
Pierron would be epic as well. Though looks like he took a big crash too.
Or Luca Shaw. After a bunch of close ones, dude go get it!
And at the back of my mind, though I know the chances are slim, if Finn Illes could grab it, that'd be pretty swell as well.

Maes qualified forth and apparently lost his chain halfway through his run.

What country are you from if I may ask?
Imagine if Maes and Ravanel won their respective titles. DH purists would burn Lenzerheide to the ground.Maes 4th in Quali
Must be a shit track, eh?
rumor mill has athertons leaving trek. not giving rach a custom bike does seem petty tho. also noticed gee wearing an atherton racing tee rather than the usual trek factory racing garb in his preview.
they saw Gwin's new house and McLaren on teh facegramz and decided their Fam wanted to really start getting PAID YO!
Maes is a beast. And still young too.Maes 4th in Quali

Philippines.
Where’s the course preview pov?
Hopefully they go to Specialized. It would really open up the Women's racing if Rachel suddenly couldn't break the top 5
I think it’s rad that Seagrave is pulling a lot closer on a consistent basis.
That season where Atherton literally won everything (usually by big margins) made the racing less interesting, even though it’s cemented her as legend status IMO.

^^^ This. Doesn't appear to be anything on the yootoobz either.Where's Cathro?
Missing his insight already.
My guess is different media rules for world's?Where's Cathro?

No track walk vids, and athertovision with crappy rock music instead of cathrovision...
I’m confused why UCI would think a media blackout is a good thing for World Champs.
I know, I know...

Anyone wanna talk about gwins TRP derailleur?
can't find the schedule ... when is the DH finals broadcast?
That venue seems perfect. At least what i saw for xc. So many fans lining the course pretty much the entire course, some like 6 people deep, maybe more. And the finishing arena. So good. No way a Vail venue could match that kind of spectator friendly set up. The terrain just doesn't exist. Well done Lenzerheide.
Who is broadcasting the races in the US? Looking for the xco replay
isn't that on redbull tv?
Found it. For some reason not listed under the bike channel yet.
Honestly, if he had put out a Kickstarter or something to raise the funds I'm sure he could have gotten it no problem
I thought Furtado as well, but from the 90s. 2001 was Alison Dunlap.
Not Furtado - she was done racing well before then anyway. Contracted some virus (lupus?) and left. And teams got tired of her aggressively propositioning the female racers and staff.
Cathro has a Patreon that's pretty successful given the narrow scope of the material. On his Instagram he said he made the decision earlier this year, probably before his Patreon took off.
