It was a busy scene today on and off the hill in Fort William, Scotland. The racers were taking in the classic, brutal track, scoping their lines ahead of practice tomorrow. In the pits, bikes were getting assembled and tuned up in preparation for the rocky onslaught that awaits. Extra wheels and tires are on hand, and many of them will surely end up getting pulled into service - those Scottish stones don't take any prisoners.
Now take a moment to enjoy the photos that Ross Bell, Andy Vathis, and Nathan Hughes gathered.

Or are they downvoting because beauty is in the eye of the beholder?
Rating random professional sportswomen on the internet on their looks - Creepy
The line depends on who you ask and the year you ask them.
Everybody decides for themselves, but I am amazed by how easily people are creeped out lately.
To me Mokydot's comment was far from creepy.
I just looked up three successful female cyclists on instagram. One of them is the best female downhiller of all time, with 300k followers. The two other cyclists, while successful are not the Queen. But they are very physically attractive, and much more frequently post images that accentuate their beauty more than the first woman, and they both have wayyy more insta followers. Is it relevant to react to their attractiveness on posts where that seems to be a major focus? What about other posts of theirs where that isn't the case? Just like the Seths Hacks guy, they can probably pull in lots of sponsorship money without having as high a pedigree of racing results. Does that allow for comment on non-racing things like beauty?
I don't know one way or the other, just thinking aloud.
One is Live one is After A session , you know which is which
"The Chris King angleset cups on Greg Minnaar's bike are now painted red"
Also, someone tell Lachlan that there is a 90° brake line mount from Formula...
I bought an O-chain and now the suspension feels basically the same, braking or not. Well worth the money, I hope it holds up, with all the elastomers and springs beeing basically unsealed.
(maybe you could do it with a vpp too, but its way harder than with a fourbar)
Step two: Overcomplicate it to deal with the horrendous brake jack
Didn’t wanna show the displeased expression.
The worst part is this shoe like those "cheese grater" helmets the roadies in the TdF liked so much for a few years there. Ugly then, ugly now.
