... had to double take when I saw Danilo Petrucci on the start list, making the swap over from Moto GP ! haha

eeba (Apr 25, 2019 at 9:46)

He's his brother!

jcredi (Apr 26, 2019 at 4:23)

No Martin Maes, bummer!

Boardlife69 (Apr 25, 2019 at 2:09)

I saw that too. Can someone confirm if Maes is racing or not. Might need to make some changes on my fantasy team before its too late.

Verbl-Kint (Apr 25, 2019 at 2:20)

Martin is on my fantasy list. :'(

tomonda (Apr 25, 2019 at 2:30)

@Boardlife69: This list is the confirming piece and no worries, you still got time to change your team...

picowatt (Apr 25, 2019 at 6:24)

@Boardlife69: I believe he will race some DH races, but is still committed to Enduro first.

Lagr1980 (Apr 25, 2019 at 6:28)

@picowatt: specially after crushing it on first 2 rounds

bulletbassman (Apr 25, 2019 at 6:31)

I guess winning the first two rounds means he's focused on winning the series. Hopefully we'll see him later in the season if he wraps up the title early.

picowatt (Apr 25, 2019 at 6:43)

@bulletbassman: if there is a DH race in between a long break of Enduro he may race one. If not you are probably right. He will show up at the end of the season and make it look easy.

@dobermon: Minnaar makes me younger than you...old man g>

cptkabelbinder (Apr 25, 2019 at 14:24)

he doesn't start, but I am pretty sure he will win this race!

Matt Simmonds racing on the new Cannondale

Boardlife69 (Apr 25, 2019 at 2:29)

Can we pick him twice?

Footey72 FL (Apr 25, 2019 at 2:35)

@Boardlife69: That would be a 3rd shock associated with that bike if he wins!

(no disrespect to Matt, who is superfast and has several podiums under his belt, but tall order on new bike after season doing enduro)

@Footey72: True, that Martin Maes fella has really struggled to destroy the DH field coming from enduroing

Can we censor YOB column? I feel old haha.

likehell (Apr 25, 2019 at 4:16)

Listen to YOB and you will feel ageless

Minnaar is my age, so there is still hope for me lol

commentsectiontroll (Apr 25, 2019 at 5:35)

When you read the whole list and only Greg is older than you *

*actually he isnt, but we are at least in the same year at school

lacuna (Apr 25, 2019 at 9:31)

It's the ones that weren't even born in the same century as me...

likehell (Apr 25, 2019 at 11:48)

@lacuna: ah dude, a few centurys younger or older, what's the matter

Pinkbike please update Fantasy League Rider list, at least Womens category. I really missing Morgane Charre in womens field. She will be strong contender for classic DH ladies.

Bobo-San (Apr 25, 2019 at 9:52)

GO UP!!!

MuddyFoxCourierComp (Apr 25, 2019 at 18:14)

@Bobo-San: what do you mean? I wanna pick Morgan Charre

dinger2h (Apr 25, 2019 at 2:43)

No hill or maes. Bummer

howsyourdad (Apr 25, 2019 at 2:57)

only 1 guy born same year as me and he is the GOAT. Coincidence?

#makesyouthink

stunnanumma1 FL (Apr 25, 2019 at 3:23)

optimumnotmaximum (Apr 25, 2019 at 5:04)

mudmurph FL (Apr 25, 2019 at 2:31)

Boo no Sam Hill

Cammyd14 (Apr 25, 2019 at 4:45)

Interesting that no single team has a senior male, senior female, junior male and junior female.

You’d have thought they’d enter as many categories as they could

FuzzyL FL (Apr 25, 2019 at 11:06)

It‘s quite nice for the mechanics not to have to have a bike ready for every single session of the weekend.

neimbc (Apr 25, 2019 at 3:50)

I didn't see a listing for Fabio's Cousin.

vinigabrielli FL (Apr 25, 2019 at 4:27)

impressive as the average age of women is much higher than that of men

fatduke FL (Apr 25, 2019 at 4:52)

Not really considering the amount of male riders compared to female riders.

rhaddad87 (Apr 25, 2019 at 7:18)

Between Maes, Sam Hill, and Mariam Nicole being out, I've had to re-pick my team 3 times now ... thank goodness I can still make changes haha

giantwhip (Apr 25, 2019 at 7:54)

Brosnan and Walker are my picks along with Manson. I have confidence in all three of those riders

700pirate (Apr 25, 2019 at 11:07)

DOB list! Man I feel old.

mattk12345 (Apr 25, 2019 at 3:58)

Anyone know why Kate Weatherly is not on start list? She recently suggested she was racing Maribor and I have her in my fantasy team?

scar4me (Apr 25, 2019 at 8:44)

over 10% of the total entries are Great Britain! Wow!

sevenup FL (Apr 25, 2019 at 11:21)

what about the french ?!

46/269 riders, crazy

Flowcheckers (Apr 25, 2019 at 12:37)

Why not just copy and paste the list, why use scribd?

mattyj74 (Apr 25, 2019 at 21:09)

#155 Ropo back in WC. Yes!!!

Lfcrik (Apr 25, 2019 at 2:07)

Wow, 34 females racing compared to 167 males and only 7 juniors compared to 68 males

39 17

Boardlife69 (Apr 25, 2019 at 2:25)

And where are the other 5 genders? Why are they not represented? White male privilege at its würst. Which reminds me, I need to stock up on beer and meat for our WCDH BBQ as we bath in our own toxic masculinity rooting for the FASTEST riders on the planet. Instead of going all SJW on the internet one could recruit and train the others so that they can gain the speed, skill and talent to race at the WC level. Just a thought.

vhdh666 (Apr 25, 2019 at 2:36)

@Boardlife69: 5 genders? I know 3

13 6

Boardlife69 (Apr 25, 2019 at 2:55)

@vhdh666: nonbinary and deminonbinary are just two of the many others. genderfluidsupport.tumblr.com/gender
I'm not trying to be mean here, just making a joke. If somone is a semi nonbinary demi girl and wants to race at the WC level then more power to them and I wish them good luck. I'm just trying to point out that it has more to do with speed and not gender. Time is not biased.

RudeDH (Apr 25, 2019 at 3:10) (Below Threshold)

The women are sooooooo slooooow.. They can barely match the times of worst male riders.. Why are they taking up all that space? Because it's all about making you buy new mountain bikes and sponsored products.

Brainthecrazyfreerider (Apr 25, 2019 at 3:35)

@RudeDH: I've ridden with some on the junior women and they still smoke me. Sit yo ass down

@Boardlife69: hahaha you've lost your mind, weirdo

thesharkman (Apr 25, 2019 at 7:19) (Below Threshold)

@Boardlife69: there are two genders: male and female. Anything else is a mental illness.

RCederholm FL (Apr 25, 2019 at 9:28)

Guessing there would be more females racing if they received more funding to get to these events. Yes, I realize there are likely a lot of privateers on the men's side, but guessing the funding goes deeper.

bikesandbeers (Apr 25, 2019 at 9:32)

@RCederholm: Actually its hard for men to get funding as well, so don't necessarily agree. Im thinking maybe women need more encouragement though maybe not just monetary.

vhdh666 (Apr 25, 2019 at 11:41)

@Boardlife69: thanks! that‘s interesting

Rdot84 (Apr 25, 2019 at 5:19)

No Greg Minnaar...?

Rdot84 (Apr 25, 2019 at 5:30)

Nevermind. Guess my old eyes didn't see him at first. Almost gave myself a conniption...whew

aljoburr (Apr 25, 2019 at 8:19)

@Boardlife69: What happens too time if the world slows down or even speeds up, as time is based on 24 hours in a day?

Bobo-San (Apr 25, 2019 at 9:57)

NASA and the other space agencies are actually looking as far ahead as they can to measure and predict change in speed of rotation of the earth. Satellite clock time (GST) is actually updated daily to account for any change in movement of the earth. They use this clock on the ISS so I think we are covered.

Worry not, my child, your time will come too.

Below threshold threads are hidden

aljoburr (Apr 25, 2019 at 8:12)

So nearly a 100 riders get too ride qualifying, but do not get to race, I think some changes need to be made?
WHAT does everyone else think?

dingus (Apr 25, 2019 at 8:22)

That's kind of the idea behind a 'qualifying' run.

aljoburr (Apr 25, 2019 at 8:48) (Below Threshold)

@dingus: But Should more than half the riders not get a chance too race, riders still have too get points even to qualify?

bookem13 FL (Apr 25, 2019 at 10:00)

If you can't make the grade...you don't get to race.

Bobo-San (Apr 25, 2019 at 10:01)

The Race itself is a RedBull live broadcast, there is no way in hell they could manage to broadcast the whole field. Also they are limited by other factors such as UCI regulations on total race Elapsed time. They can't race until 7pm.. it needs to be done by 4:30 or something.
