Video: Big Jumps & Lots of Technical Sections - A First Look at the Brand New XC World Cup Course in Araxá
This is why worldcup XC bikes are now showing up with 120mm of travel and 66 HTA...but still running semi-slick tires...

Vittoria Releases New Peyote & Mezcal XC Race Tires
@dtheio: I am a die-hard Barzo/Mezcal fan. G1, G2 and I'll give these new Mezcal's a try for sure.
I always tell people....the roll very fast, they are extremely durable, they mount up tubeless easily, they have decent suppleness, they can still be found for very affordable prices online...but grip...is middle of the pack. If ultimate grip is your goal, the Vittoria's are only average.
I wouldn't mind a better griping version of the Barzo to use up front.

Review: Race Face's Era Chainring Uses Steel, Carbon, & Aluminum
Given it's just the spline, and given this construction method, it's probably very easy for them to add other direct-mount splines to their existing design....if they wanted to do it.
But I can fuly understand launching an all-new ring only to work with their own crank spindle standard at launch.

Someone posted a (presumably pirated) full length feed of the mens XCO race on a popular streaming platform a few hours after the race. I watched that video for free from Canada.

How to Watch the 2024 Mountain Bike World Cup [Update: Staylive Offering Access in New Zealand, South Africa & More]
This will be the first year in over 10 years where I'll just go riding instead of watching XCC/XCO/DH races...i'll just read about the results after the race is done. Really sucks for the riders and teams as I'll no longer be as invested in any of them.
I'm glad Nino achieved his records last year with many people still watching. It would be really sad if he had to break Absalon's record this year with very few people watching and noticing.
