BYB does. And IMHO in a relatively sensible way.

Just did a freeze frame and screen capture from Cathro's post-race analysis:

looks like the link is still there?

Bruny didnt have this on his runs.

yeah, that wasn't him... sheesh, PB trying to pull a fast one on us...
I just pulled this from the Whoop UCI Mountain Bike channel's race highlights:

I think it's still there, but there's fairing around it or something...

 

[slyfink]

Loic

Finn

you can see Loic's fairing wraps farther down.

(gawd, I'm suck a frikken geek!!! not sure why I even care!!!)

 

[canadmos]

Is it just me or have Loic and Finn's bikes always looked a bit smaller? Not that its been negative for them.

Maybe its just Finn's huge head making the thing look smaller.

on the other hand... in the Vital post-race interviews Amaury said he was happy for the sloppy conditions because it meant he couldn't ride close to the limit, and had to remain within his capabilities... Ben was suggesting he was the one who could push the closest to the limit without crossing it.

After my injury, I'm beginning to notice that speed is what freaks me out. I'll take tech every day all day, but I know the consequences all too well of losing it at speed. I wonder if that's what's going on with him: his talent on a bike is astronomical, so the tech is where he excels, but flat out speed at the limit still wigs him out. I'm sure as an elite athlete he'll eventually get to where he wants to be... and we'll all be in awe of it!

Yeah, I think that is a very smart/mature comment from a guy who is extremely talented.

For me, I'm cool going flat out in the open. But even then, you get off line and boom you're hitting the dirt. Just like that. No time to react. I'm getting old. The risk/reward equation is going a different direction.

I don't go flat out in the woods. Kinda freaks me out. My worst crash was trying to take a sneaky line in the woods. Then head butted a tree going mach stupid. You go off line thinking it's cool, but guess what? There's no traction. So there's that. Freakin pea gravel of Colorado Springs. Blah.

The pros have been everywhere. So I assume they get the dirt. They get the terrain. They know when to hold em, know when to fold em. HA.

Bruni hiding a ride height device like they use in MotoGP. That suspension layout they use on the proto lends itself to adjustments in ride height by shortening or lengthen the link under the BB. Ohlins makes these for their MotoGP teams. High BB with light compression jank rocks and low BB with high compression motorway. Obviously this will change ha at the same time.

Interesting theory. In Vital slideshows from the past season we could see the pull rod had adjustable length via the screwed in ends. However, the length had to be altered manually, off the bike. I guessed it was a way to alter the geometry and kinematics to better suit the track.

I always thought so too. Would like to see the geo for their frames.

Finn reminds me of Peaty on a little 26" V10.

Yeah,that was exactly what I want. Sick Ass All World Mother Fuckers,side by side at Full Speed! Man,I think that is the Bees Knees!

I was just about to ask the Mighty Monkeys this question. Why can we not have this joy?

In any case,I will not complain,because Whoever made that video,will Fix it. Watch.

So the key to winning is having a better action cam.

 

[DaveW]

The key to winning a bigger pay cheque certainly seems to be.

 

[Gary]

Loic needs to be that fast just to make up for his fucking horrendous dress sense!

Along with Norco... Hmmm, I wonder if there's a link....?
