World Cup Overall Champion Mathias Flückiger Re-Signs With Thomus Until 2024 Olympics
I think they selling those bikes only in Switzerland and that brand could polish up its image a bit. It began as a "store brand" , the owners name is Thomas Binggeli. Swiss-German Nickname for Thomas is Thömu. Thömu's is like Tom's in English. I can't think of a more stupid name for a brand but 20 years ago it was cool.....

Pauline Ferrand Prevot's Switch to Absolute Absalon Confirmed
I still ride with a BMC Trailfox XX1 29er form 2015, it's a very capable bike and was the only real competitor to the Specialized Enduro 29er at this time. Ti was one of the few 29er with 150mm travel front and rear at this time.
While living in Switzerland you will see some BMC on trails, mostly XC stuff but also here you see a lot more Santa, Trek, Speci, etc. on trails. Sad they don't have any proper Allmountain, Enduro Bike in their lineup anymore. BMC is and will ever be a roadie or XC thing in the upper price range.

Fantasy DH League Results - Leogang DH World Cup 2019
I'm on the 66th place so I can't complain but can someone explain how they exactly count points? If I do the maths by myself so I count for Leogang for my them 658 points for quali and race. My team was:
Trummer: 0 / 3
Brosnan: 30 / 140
Wallace: 15 / 70
Walker: 0 / 60
Hoffmann: 30 / 160
Caribou: 25 / 125
I worte the points from the quali and the race behind them (what they got form UCI), makes to me 658 Points at all.
But form the Fantasy League I got 703 Points:
Trummer 3, Brosnan 170, Caribou 150 (they are the same) and Wallace 95, Walker 85, Hoffmann 200.
-> Walker, Hoffmann, Wallace got too many points from the Fantasy League in my opinion, why?

6 Clip-In Trail Pedals Ridden & Rated
I have tried out several models over the years. Shimano, Crank Brothers, Look, Ht's. When new they are all good. The cleats from Crank Brohter aren't that hard so they were worn out very quickly. The qualitiy from the HT T1 is absolutly poor, specially in this price range. After 4 months they had big play in the bearings and are worn out. And I did not liked the added play cliped in compared to Shimano.
Never had any issues with Shimano Trail pedals and also the clips from Shimano last longer compared to the other ones.

2017 Pinkbike Awards: Athlete of the Year
@CaliCol: Yes it's true. His father was the DH National coach but Nino dominated also as a young child in the Kids Categories at XC races, so he must beside of that also be a true talent.
