bigquotesThe best MTB riders race on instinct. Why? Because understanding the science of speed doesn't always help them know when to go fast and when to slow down. They have to work it out themselves. This time the muddy, slippery and rutted track of Les Gets is the proving ground for Loic Bruni and Finn Iles, while Kate Courtney is battling it out in Nové Mesto. Red Bull

 Phew… thought they’d start pay-walling other brand’s content too.

 Future: Original content mostly behind the paywall. Vital should step up their game and they might benefit?

 I tried clicking the sign up for outside+ link on that article and it didn't do anything. Not that I would sign up, that's heresy. Does the link work for anyone else? Or is this whole thing actually just an amazing troll by pinkbike?

 Hey everyone, here’s an idea… how about we do more than complain about the changes to pb? Maybe we can all pick a day a day to not visit pb every week? Maybe throwback Thursday until they at least engage us in a conversation about the planned changes?

 I totally appreciate where you're coming from. But I mean, what's done is done and the plan now is to wring every cent out of the website until it's unusable. Well, that's my jaded but probably at least somewhat-correct interpretation.

 Just saying... it's totally your fault that I've just binged the entire season -.- Thanks for the tip. Amazing series... bummer they're scrapping it.

 I think one major issue is timing, we have mostly moved on, they should have these out within a week of the event, like every one else, not 6 months after!

 I really like the videos. Kate Courtney could do a narrator stuff for living if she is bored of racing bikes.

 I love that they included it; racing at that level is SO freakin' hard! They are so committed and I think we don't see enough of the sadness and frustration that's a part of it; it's not mostly podiums and champagne, it's grinding and heartbreak and still going the next time.
