 XC looks like it hurts, i wonder how much faster they could go through those bump sections with a dropper post, yes it's extra weight but i feel like they'd go so much faster through those sections and while it's not a huge part of the course, being able to carry the speed and have more comfort and control may go a long ways later in the race.

 i was wondering about that in hafjell last year as well. met a few xc guys on the black downhill run with their saddle up their asses. i could never ever ride like that. maybe you get used to it.

 The xc people would go much faster threw those "intense" rock rollers with a full suspension and a dropper seat

 Ive been training xc, being a dh guy at heart, and instead of blasting the most dirrect line, u more frequently find yourself picking the line that involves the least battles haha

 Greg Minnaar...what an animal! Barely gets back on the DH bike after knee surgery and lands a podium finish. Awesome job, bud! Oh..and that was a cool edit/video/whatever.
