did anyone catch that nose manual to cross the finish line on his back?!?! 
Wasn’t expecting him to just get up. That nose manual felt like an eternity.did anyone catch that nose manual to cross the finish line on his back?!?!
Sh.... awwww. Kid looked so good for 98% of that run.
BTW, there was a fast right-hand turn with a deep rut in it, at the outer side, which repeated in both races. On Friday while it was raining I thought it was the mud grabbing the tires which forced the riders almost to a full stop. Today, with much more dryer conditions, it still put everyone off pace. I thought Gwin would pull off one of those lines nobody else sees there, but he still opted to land the jump open and go into the rut.
^^^ thisCan we take a moment to talk about how fluid but still composed those Öhlins forks on the Speci boys' bikes are?
Last season I've felt Bruni and Iles' bikes were super quiet and composed, which I chalked up to the Ohlins.
I'd enjoy a total geek out on what tires were used on each bike. For each race.
Just listening to Wyn's post race interview from race 1, it sounded like PA, Loris's mech said "new shorty" on front Wet Scream on back?
I hate mud. Would hate to have to put mud tires on. But would love to hear how the best in the world handled Maribor with the changing conditions.

What shock was Angel Suarez running?
I thought his rear looked most composed and glued to the ground out of everyone previous to him
Why are so many DT riders on 471 rims instead of 511?
Stronger
Inserts work better
Contact patch / tire traction
?

Because they want a 25mm wide rim instead of 30mm...
?
Perhaps with the inserts the 30mm has no benefit?
But also those are just stickers... could be any rim
Also they are 29" so the ex511 weighs 570g
With the 471 coming in at 530g
Not really earth shartering....
