Rampage Judge Darren Berrecloth Speaks Out On 2023 Event
I think the main disadvantaged for Brendog was he was one of the early riders to drop and the judges didn't have to many other riders to score against, more so when later riders where crashing etc.
I think they should do INITIAL "closed door" score on first runs till all riders have done first run, then it gives the judges a little lea way to swap/re score a few runs when compare all the first runs together.
Then release results before 2nd run. I think rider will also have better idea what is then needed/judges looking for etc.

[UPDATED] U23 XC Results & Overall Standings from the Andorra XC World Cup 2023
Lucky I didn't get up early to watch!
Prob knock on effect from yesterday, been soooo long with weather delays and camera crew etc working hours. (can't be helped)
BUT The lack of communication/announcement is just NOT ON TBH. GCN etc need to pull their socks up, (and sod the UCI sock height limit)

Nerding Out: Are More People Watching World Cup DH Racing in 2023?
Are highlight views up because people are not paying for live coverage so not watching "live"?
As in if you just watch Redbull free live coverage would you also watch the highlights?? (I know I didn't watch much highlight as I knew who won etc)
Also I didn't know there was "UCI Mountain Bike World Series" youtube channel, quick look, I prob watch a few things on there.
As for commentary, IMO (via GCN+) XC is a bit better, DH same/worse, but BOTH are kind of cover the same as Redbull with what is been said at each race eg always basic talk on tyres, air pressure, training, effects of altitude, food/fueling etc.
All basic/dumbed down to the casual /non MTB viewer IMO. IMO we need more geeky info etc.

5 Key Stats From Downhill Racers in the Pinkbike State of the Sport Survey
No questions on "rider bonus" with results/goals? (and maybe not just for getting a top 5 place?)
Be interesting to know if lower "wage" riders get good bonus compare to high paid riders?
And also how many riders did get/achieve the goals to get a bonus?

14 Riders Receive Fines at the Les Gets World Champs 2022
I like to know did the listed riders go to SIGN ON AND PICK RACE NUMBERS UP?
As to me if you sign on and pick race number up you are there and should be at the start line/time, unless sickness/crash (act of god) etc stops them and yes they should inform the organizer.
IF the did NOT sign on and pick numbers up, then for what ever reason they not racing and to fine them is bang out of order IMO.
The only thing I can see worlds been diff is that all "Team" numbers prob be in one envelope which can be picked/signed for by team manager/mech/helper.
