Final Results - Mont-Sainte-Anne XC World Cup 2017

 @joemoto: I ride with female pros quite a lot. I'm 45, 10 pounds over race weight, and quite a bit faster than any girl.


Just like Serena Williams - she'd be ranked in the 500s if she played against men, by her own words.

 @WAKIdesigns: maybe instead then saying Jesus f*cking Christ you can say halla of whatever is called your god f*cking him? Hold on, maybe u can't

 @bridgermurray: nothing against you or your post directly but the subject you touch upon is utter populist bollocks. Identifying a positive treat as a mean of injustice and using it against it's owner in order to win followers. Every fkng ruling sociopath in history has used this tool of exploiting the stupidity of the dumbest in the crowd. Like fat people ragging on fitness coaches, using students to invent things like fat shaming.

But no, no idiot escapes here, by simple logic a guy effectively saying: " it is not good that Emily gets more coverage than Catherine who has better results, just because she's pretty" you inevitably mean that Catherine is uglier and Emily is slower. Now i will pin you fkrs a bit more. Your retarded logic of "Genetic lottery" regarding looks collapses on all sorts of basic logical fronts. So if focusing on looks is bad, why do you then focus only on looks and find ugly/pretty derogative but suddenly calling someone "slower", "not as good" "not as fit" is not derogative?! Oh I know, because you are an absolute twat who thinks that "looks are given by genetic lottery and race results are earned". Is it?! No it isn't you dumb entitled millenial piece of leftist junk. If you were as intelligent and enlightened as you think you are, you would know that race performance is a subject to genetics as well. How do you know if Emily isn't training harder to get her results than Catherine does?!

Bunch of fkng idiots, thinking they are so intelligent and have access to some higher morality. What you are doing is a huge disservice to humanity and is unfair both to Emily and Catherine. When you start a war, everyone gets hurt.

 @bridgermurray: that is exactly why this world view is fkng stupid, if you want to focus on racing performance become a fkng clock. And there is no way you are running away from the fact that you yourself are mixing looks into it, because that is the only way you find that unjust and you are projecting your set of values on both ladies. You are effectively using Emily's looks against her, while she has no influence what so ever on it (gender lottery, isn't it?) It also means you are paticularly into her, since you completely ignore the fact that a big portion of top girls are damn pretty by most standards: Maja, Jolanda, Jenny, Yana.

Oh and speaking of Jolanda or Maja, they actually took part in "hottie" photo sessions for bike magazines. Aren't you outraged by that DIRECT attempt at gaining profit with the use of the "body assets"? So quite frankly my friend, you just have a problem with your own relation to Emily or girls like Emily. Shame? Being pushed away by a pretty girl? Daughter not being prettiest in the class? friends taking prettier wives? Dunno. Men have various reasons to pick on a girl for being pretty, none of them reasonable.

Emily is popular, because among many things she is fkng good at bike riding and she run Ambitions series. I don't see other girls produce such show. No one gets sponsored by Redbull or Porsche for being a pretty girl. I am not denying by any means that looks don't help, but focusing on that is plain stupid and shows psychological issue. Racing results help, being motivated, driven, way you talk to people, meet them in public, write e-mails helps too. the way you dress yourself up, put make up on, cut your hair, smile, helps yes. Human being is a combination of thousands of things that he/she has bigger or smaller influence on, and you pick on fkng "beauty". Smoke some weed, shag your woman or wank. Just do whatever will make you take a chill pill.

Good luck

 Nino would tear it up in enduro. He is a killer downhiller and (obviously) has the lungs and stamina. BUT we don't need to lose another great rider to enduro. We have lost enough in the last few years and may they rest in peace.

 Nino is an amazingly skilled rider, better than prety much anyone here. No two doubts about it. But he is truly outstanding only in XC. There is no bloody way in the world he can just jump on a DH bike and get anywhere close to World Cup Top 20 if even to Top 50. Just like even fittest downhiller like Graves would not get into top20 on XC World Cup race right away. The reason is simple, day has 24 hours and year has 365 days, within that time he has to max out his chances to win an XC race. Now fitness fades away faster than skill. If Aaaron Gwin jumps on Enduro training regime, training fitness, his DH skill is not going to deteriorate almost at all. At the very same time Nino has all the leg power needed to demolish pretty much Everyone on Enduro race but he lacks skill. All the body reflexes, muscle memory, terrain reading, that is something you pick up almost as long if not longer than leg power. So he needs to keep training fitness to some degree and really get into skills, which will take him loooots of time and he may never get there. It would leave him unable to compete in Xc if he ever wishes to go back. Meanwhile Aaron can easily jump back to DH.
