Florian Nicolai yet another french man killing it on the EWS circuit. Time to re-think my take on wine and cheese as a main course.

 Great photos! Does anyone know if there are pictures of the amateur categories as well somewhere? So far I've only seen pictures of the pros, but there were people on course all day probably shooting 100s or 1000s of photos. I guess it will take a while to sort those out, but it would be nice to know where to look for them in the next couple days.

 One of the Crankworx photographers Scott Robarts has a good amount of amateurs. Give him time. We have lots to get through for deadlines.

 I wonder how the SB6c rides with a coil rear shock. I was afraid that there wouldn't be enough ramp-up/progression if the bike was designed for an air shock. It seemed to have worked for Yeti this round.

 Just set it up for perfect midstroke support and forget about the rest (is what they are doing probably)

 with an IFP it's not too hard to set up a progressive EOS.

 Was the bike designed for an air shock? That would surprise me, considering people loved to put coils on the "old" SB66's

 awesome pics,

I will get neg propped for this but look at the body language of Nico Lau, Nico Vouilloz, and Mark Scott (10th from bottom), they are nervous, I thought only amateurs like me got nervous before a race.

 You can't be serious mate. If anything they should be more nervous, it is their job to ride their bike fast and beat people, so of course they will be apprehensive about going in and racing for their pay check!

 Good point. My idea of not being nervous if due to the fact that they race regularly. That helped my nerves as i was younger. But you are right their stakes are higher.

 Great photos Margus! Unbelievably rich. Any one of them would make great desktop, calendar or POD material! Thank you (Ooops, I just ran out of exclamation points)...

 Holy Crap, PB! Best EWS-porn ever. I need a higher resolution monitor to do these photos justice!
