Timed Training Results: Lenzerheide World Cup DH 2021

 For the riders doing full pulls I think these time training results have value.

 Timed training is the most important part of race weekend. Prove me wrong

 Good to see Loris picking up another win.

 Did we ever hear what his mechanical was at world champs? I remember seeing him drop in going fast, camera cut away, and then you hear later he wasn't in the mix.

 @adrennan: Looked like a flat rear tire.https://www.pinkbike.com/photo/21217737/

 I also heard Myriam say he'd cracked a rim in her post race interview with Wyn

 @sarahmoore: That is more than a flat tyre?

 @sarahmoore: I am not ENVEious of that situation

 @adrennan: Can't believe this is still happening with ENVE...

 Amaury is gonna go really well this weekend.

 @adrennan: riding on blacked out ex rims this time around

 @sarahmoore: "slow leak"

 @sarahmoore: So riders are using tubes again. What's going on with that?

 @Bob-Agg: That's an insert, not a tube.

 @sarahmoore: Another pic of the flat rear in the woods, from Amaury's Insta.

 @kanasasa: EX for life! Screw Enve.

 @GrandMasterOrge: In the picture you posted you can see an insert and whatever this strip is wrapped around his frame in Sarahs pic. I can see there it's not a tube but what is it? Doesn't look like rim tape.

 @Bob-Agg: ah yeah, I can see now. Is it possibly the Enve Rim Strip?

 @sarahmoore: that rim is dead big time

 @sarahmoore: Mwahaha, that picture has some sort of comical aspect to it. mostly the framing that lets you understand he's moving out of the frame, the obviously unhappy (grumpy ?) face, the bump in the ground that covers half the rear wheel and makes the bike look even more broken than it is. You expect the "that's all folks !" animation just right after :p But anyway his pace is impressive already after so much time off the bike.

 Well said. It is ridiculous that they can't get the characters right, absolute ignorance and totally inexcusable.

 Write my name: Iñigo

 Öôòóœøōõ

 @mccarthyp: Damn straight and the mind fukc that is the camel-case if you have an Irish/Scottish name
Come on

Let get it right people there's technology lots of it so we dont even have to think for ourselves.
We have the technology we have the computers lets get it all right.

But ...
Fulc the pronunciation coz you dont care about that right @WSB ?

Or is that pronounciation if your from North America ?

 @layon: I do not mean to pry, but you don't by any chance happen to have six fingers on your right hand?

 I expect that it’s because they’re aren’t any. I find it pretty pathetic that there are only 14 elite women racing but maybe 70/80 Elite men. Someone needs to pump some money into growing the women’s racing

 @enduroNZ: I think it starts with women’s riding in general. I’d say 80 men to 14 women actually skews in favor of women when looking at the ratio of men/woman who ride regularly. I’d love to see more female racers but you can’t pull from an empty pool…

 @witica: Agreed... but you can't get anyone in the pool if you don't give those young girls out there any hero's to inspire them to ride fast. There needs to be more effort from UCI, media and brands. My daughter has remarked several times this summer that she is the only female standing in the lift line when we were park riding. There seems to be a gap between women riding xc/enduro and downhill. That's what, in my non-female opinion, is being overlooked by the UCI.

 @JustGivinerrr: i think uci is only the last in line to do nothing. local support like in skiing would change that big time

 @enduroNZ: Its not going to grow if there is no exposure. Redbull needs to come to the party too, at the beginning of the live womens feed they should show the top 3 runs from the juniors. Same goes for the beginning of the live mens feed - top 3 runs from the mens juniors. There are lots of kids watching with their parents and if they see other juniors racing they may be inspired

 If you look at the top speed, both 76 km/hr, I think he's sitting where he wants to be

 Over 70km/h on the woods is nuts.
I would not try this speed on a straight, wide and closed road.

 @gabriel-mission9: ha ha, your f*cked!

 @nert: @nert: I've topped 80kph on a road bike. Steep roads and big gears make for big speed. The pro roadies top 110kph, albeit on closed roads. If I reach those kinds of speeds on a mountain bike it probably means I've tumbled off a cliff though.

 She's not even on the PB fantasy league list.....

 She is 7 seconds faster. Let us see if she can hold that on race day. That would be an epic time gap.

 Got a little bromance going there? Not that there's anything wrong with that. It's understandable - he's so hot right now.

 @neimbc: That upper body man. Broad shoulders

 I kind of understand you. Coulanges is impressive, terribly fast, and promising.... but as a French I prefer Daprela... and Vergier now. Their personnalities are unique I'd say, as much as their talents... and they are kind of funny on interviews.
These bloody frenchies are so damn fast (don't ask me why, I don't know) BUT I'd confess that I was more than stoked for Greg Minnaar last week end

 Yeah, and where is Izabela???

 @m1dg3t If you really believe that to be true, you're way off base; that's a ridiculous statement/comparison. I don't watch the extreme left wing news sites or TV channels but I wouldn't be surprised if that's what they try to portray; but that's total BS. It's not about pushing a religion; it's just that they believe the baby is a created life and it's murder. If you believe humans are all just accidental biological computers then you can just shut down any you want I suppose. I have my own personal opinions that actually are a little gray on the topic believe it or not. But you just need to be careful about what BS you see in/on the news. But that's a long way from church/state separation where the government is actively murdering or deporting people based on religion. Here we have a religious choice, which depending on what you believe will shape your life-view and how you feel about specific topics, that's all.

 Was that "Fake Greg's" time?

 He's done till snowshoe he said. Back injury.

 @MikeyMT: Antivax and refuses to quarantine in Europe is probably the real answer.

 @PTyliszczak: Is Gwin really antivax?

 @PTyliszczak: "My body my choice".....except, women aren't allowed to make their own choices in Church land.

 @PTyliszczak: I am not religious but I don’t think Christians are necessarily anti-vaxers.

 @enduroNZ: I never made any comments on religion. That was some other guy.

 @4thflowkage: I don't know. He's definitely a right leaning "thin blue line" guy, so it wouldn't surprise me. I'm just over here shit posting on PinkBike though.

 @yupstate: U.S. Out Of My Uterus.

 @suspended-flesh: Probably the same people gathering up lady bugs and ants in their house and carrying them outside as to not kill the innocent little buggers though, right?

 @PTyliszczak: "probably"? I mean it would be worth backing that up with evidence rather than just slinging shit at the guy.
He's religious and lives in the desert and may have right leaning views (though I can't find evidence of this with my weak internet skills).
Where's the evidence he doesn't understand science? And I mean the lefty science to do with medicine and vaccines, not the manly science to do with forks and G force.

 @Steventux: what do mean by lefty science? Science is science!

 @Matt115lamb: Tautologically irrefutable. Simply cherry-pick what you need to make a point.

 yes it does
