That's a good question. I did take a time-consuming crash on stage 1 today, otherwise right there with those young pinners. I'm keeping the build steady for EWS.
But I don't understand! I've been told by marketing you can only win Enduro races on the Specialized Enduro bike! How can this be? It almost appears to me as if the rider makes the difference! Does this mean instead of working overtime to afford a the 9.750$ S-Works model, I'd be better off training and riding more and keep my old bike? I'm confused, please help - this contradicts all press releases of the last years!
MMMMMMMMMiller! 2 seconds traded every stage then .03? I suspect they both had big grins on their faces come podium time, 'cause a .03 diff is just the type of day that makes racin' racing ;-)
Doping aside, WC DH racers are another level of fast. Looks like Finn has been riding a lot of trail in his free time the past few months so I'm not surprised that his fitness and speed are bagging him these wins.
I mean, haven't a fairly large number of the serious contenders at the EWS also been DH racers previously? I mean, obviously Sam Hill, Richie Rude, and Martin Maes. But I'm sure there are a bunch of others that I can't think of offhand.
Seems like Kasper is getting it done. Won a stage, 2nd, 3rd and lost the difference on the last stage with a 9th. Something happen or just wasn't his stage?
In Men's news: Finn is still fast.
He can’t.
He’s pumped to race the DH.
