 Tippie and Barel are both so inspiring people, each in his own unique way. Gotta love the positive spirit!

 Hey Pinkbike, you'd have some kind of rad show with the duo of Tippie and Barel! Just an idea! I think we'd all watch that!

 Our sport has TRUE role models... not to be cheesey, but they really live by example.

 Even though he's is "retired", Barel is a true pro and an incredible ambassador for mountain biking. Our sport needs more guys like him.

 While we are over here being distracted by crankworks, Sram has turned to the dark side and released an e-bike specific drivetrain

 @bohns1: 8-speed Wide range cassette - how is that a bad thing?!

A man on a scooter looks down at man with a e-bike: Every bike with a motor is a motor bike! Looks to the right. There is a man on Yamaha R1 who looks at him and says: I spilled coffee on an ant eater.

 @WAKIdesigns: for real E bikes are actually quite fun. and a real bonus with fat legs and heavy chins. have you ever ridden one. I rode a really large and powerful one, it was so fast it was almost painful! if you know what I mean! but seriously it trains other muscles you wouldn't usually work if you know what I mean! It's worked wonders for my grandmother with bad hips. She's a fan and would like to hear your thoughts!

 How dare you? You saying that in such situation is basically like going: I'm happy that Peaty crashed in Les Gets and lost the title!
  • 8 0
 @WAKIdesigns: That's a bit of an exaggeration. Crashes are part of the sport.If the slower racer wins because the faster crashes or makes a mistalke, it doesn't mean the win is not deserved. Maybe Peaty was faster because Barrel went a bit slower to avoid making a mistake that could cost him the title and that day, it was the best strategy. We'll never know.
Plus, this is not the only victory for Fabien. Saying that he is a legend doesn't mean Pille123 is happy with Peaty's crash Wink

 @WAKIdesigns: Wow I didn't know there was a metric to measure the size of a legend. What's the unit? Zelda?
