Biggest congrats Evan!
How do you see it? are you testing these athletes and privy to the results? I figure this isn’t like the tour where there’s so much money behind it and team doctors and such. The roadies have the resources to try to cheat the system. There’s no damn money in Enduro but I guess the ego transcends any sport. I’m not a fanboi tho just a realist. I believe RR knew what he was doing (nothing to back that up) but also believe he wouldn’t risk his whole career on a second offense.
same. I get older and slower and it is what it is… when I get too damn slow rather than going full Icarus I’ll just get an ebike. That’s a ways off still tho.
