Gwin won on an enduro, did you miss that post? Ropaleto has also at least raced an enduro and how about all the short travel prototypes built for worlds a few years back...Stevie's devinci comes to mind....
Meh, there's XC bikes ( hardtails and short travel full suspension XC specific bikes), there DH bikes, and then there are trail bikes. I don't recognize "enduro bikes"

When I read the interview it looked to me like he was talking about just 30 riders being at the race for the whole weekend. Think about how many of our top-30 riders this season wouldn't have even been able to start in Lourdes if that had been the case. I just took a look at start numbers for Lourdes on Roots and Rain, Mick Hannah wouldn't have been able to start, Steve Peat, Sam Hill, Adam Brayton (currently in top-10 overall), Neko Mulally, Taylor Vernon, Alexander Fayolle, Phil Atwill, Markus Pekoll, and Greg Williamson to name a few. At MSA, Charlie Harrison went into the top-20 with a #87 plate.
Maybe going to top-20 wouldn't change much for TV-viewers, but going to a race would suck... there'd be a lot of downtime between riders. If nobody wants to actually go to the races, why would anybody bother to put them on?
Yes, I recognize infants (XC bikes) but I don't recognize toddlers, teeny boppers, adolescents, teenagers, and young adults, and I recognize adults (DH Bikes) and the rest I just recognize as "kids" much like I just recognize Mountain Bikes and or trail bikes as such, and DH and XC bikes as such
