Overall Standings: Maribor DH World Cup 2019

 Wish Dean Lucas and his Trek Session did better.

 I dont get the banshee legend joke.. did I miss a dual link design on the new demo ?

 For real! Those new specialized banshees are pretty neat.

 @v3sleeper: Right. I figured it wasn't just me who thought it looked exactly like a Legend... Props to specialized, the Banshee Legend is one of the most beautiful DH bikes every designed. \

 @v3sleeper: to be fair the suspension design is different on the two. The legend uses its chainstay to activate the shock while the Demo uses the seatstay to actuate the shock via a lower link.

 Losinj last year? Three on the podium if i remember correctly

 @vic-L: Oh, totally forgot about that one. Thanks.

 Trump is making them great again! Never would have happened under Obama.

 Have to admit that I'd never heard of him until today, but he was really exciting to watch. He pumped the shit out of the hard pack compressions

 @IllestT: Agreed! Always exciting when an underdog and/or a privateer achieves a good/solid result in the elite category.

 Yeahh

 Good question. Seemed to be having a middle of the pack run until the last segment. Guessing he wipped out, which seems to be an odd place to do that (most that finished this low tended to crash earlier on).

 Had a quick stop to scratch his balls i think.

 Welcome to a new era

 Rachel said she was super late starting training this year due to all the work that's gone into Atherton bikes. We've got like a month to the next round, and I reckon coming 2nd to Tahnee will motivate Rachel like nothing else. Next race will be awesome.

 Bike needs more development. Her and Gee didn't look that comfortable

 No excuses, Tahnee rode faster. That is all.

 @Malky79: Atherton bikes need more work. Gee was bottoming where other guys bikes barely went into their travel. Also appeared less planted in the rough compared to even the new Scott bike. Maybe a slightly longer chainstay and a more progressive curve? Interested to see how they progress this season.

 Putting a brand new bike from a new(ish) manufacturer on the podium was pretty remarkable. I'd agree with other comments, the bike didn't look totally settled, Rachel seemed to give that away when talking in the race review.
Fair play to Tahnee though, just a downright fast run from her.

 If it’s the same as last year, anybody in the top 10 from last year will be protected all 2019 and then the ten highest non protected riders will also get protected. So I’m reality it’s probably the top ~15 that get protected I haven’t worked out who will and who won’t be but if I am remembering the change correctly that is what the protected riders rule changed to.

 @jfkusa: cheers dude. Didn’t realise it went on last years overall results

 Neither did ebike brakes...trp

 You should stop right here before it picks up too much speed

 @mlr428: that's what she said.

 No, quali points are also included.

 @vid1998: cheers
