The correct answer is, of course, as many points as Sam Hill wants.50 points for winning qualies, 250 for winning the event.
lots of riders were blowing tape and not hiking back up to go back inWhat's the reason of so many disqualified racers?
suprizingly no bugs up here, it was way to cold 2 nights ago and there lives ended. but 2:30 is weird.UCI has changed formats now. My official start list says top 20 are at 2:30 gaps???
Dear god, 2 minutes was bad enough on the fans stuck in the woods being eaten alive, 2.5 minutes is going to make it torture!
Good about the bugs, 2.5 minutes in Vigo or Ste Anne would have been hell. As it is 2 minutes seems to make the race drag on forever and fans start to get restless. It's like build up the drama and excitement, and then they drag it out and kill it.suprizingly no bugs up here, it was way to cold 2 nights ago and there lives ended. but 2:30 is weird.
had a good run going to mid back it in 100ish. hit the top treesBad luck for Alex, down in 157th...
Since the results were first posted they've DQ'd 5 riders, I wonder whats going on there?

Awesome!2 pics are worth 2000 words !!!
(from the transcend gallery):
every pic i see of this guy lately is nuts... every one is a pefect example of how to ride a bike. always aggressive, and always in control
one of the illest photos i've seen in a looong time. that photographer kicks ass.
is that a wet scream i see him running up front?
yes, it is a wetscream with the center knobs cut down a bit to keep better traction on roots and rocks and role a bit quicker... awsome tire for anything at all loose, grassy, loamy etc
is that a wet scream i see him running up front?
As they say in hollywood....thats a wrap.Top 5 overall in points...

They need the old NORBA points scale, I remember a couple years my riders going into the finals with just a small lead after winning a few races and being on podium everywhere else.anybody besides me think the points system for World Cups is badly skewed when not even the top 5 guys are within points of one another?
I mean...in every other racing, at least 5 guys have a shot 3/4 of the way through the season.
I agree, kinda seems to take the "racing" out of racing when its all pretty much wrapped up before the series is even over.anybody besides me think the points system for World Cups is badly skewed when not even the top 5 guys are within points of one another?

Hopefully Palm's MTB comeback is more illustrious than his ill-fated MX comeback that was slated to take place this season. I really wanted to see him tear it up at Hangtown!They bought the bus for Palmers comeback (He just got 2 new intense bikes ya know).
