I agree, but i feel like 25th place for Moir is pretty good considering the stacked field this year. I heard a WC racer say on a podcast that basically anyone in the top 20 (or so) could finish on the box this year; which is great for the sport. It would be nice to see Jack have another top 10 this year.
@buckwheat23: I thought/hoped that this year Moir would achieve his final breakthrough. But somehow they all don't seem to get along with the whole package yet.
The results speak differently than what you heard in the podcast.
One more: Finn Iles please get your shit together If he brings it together, the next few years will be exciting!!!
@dh-corn: I totally agree. I would have loved to see Jack have that inaugural year and stand with the top boys. I wish I could see inside the mind of some of the racers (at the top and at the mid pack) to see what makes them tick.
I think Finn's time will come soon. Maybe not this year, but I think next year he's going to have one hell of a year. As a fan and viewer of the live feeds, i'm so stoked for what's in store.
@buckwheat23: Jack clearly doesn't vibe well with this new program-the past years of 3 buddies (jack, dean and charlie) the owners wife and founder running the team, the little tech expert ripper dude as mechanic, the spanish dude doing race management is all gone.....this new odd vibed program isn't working. Shame, lovely bicycles it appears.
@yakimonti: unfortunately this happens in all sports; new teams/teammates/etc. The vibe I get from IFR is more serious than previous years. This is obviously a bystander on the outside looking in. Whereas previous years seemed to be more chilled out. For Jack's sake, you just hope he finds what he needs in order to put up the numbers we know he can.
Does anyone know what Gwin's injury update is? I heard in the comment section he injured his shoulder after hitting a tree. Hope he doesn't have to throw in the towel for this season!
what are the 2 small bold numbers under the points from the race? i know one is qualifying points (with position in brackets) but what's the second small bold number?
The first is the points from quali (and position # in parentheses), and the 2nd set is the race result points (and position # in parentheses). Add both together to get total points for race+quali for each race.

You beat them to it!
