It was really cool to watch Loic take the overall, you could really see how much stress this season had put on him. Hard work pays, it really could have gone to either of the french men, they both crushed all season but it seemed like Amaury is more of a "send it" type while Loic is more of a calculated risk type and the latter strategy worked, but barely. Acknowledging that, Loic definitely seemed more mentally exhausted from this season. I could be wrong though.

Loved the way Loic honoured AP. Classy.

Loic cant thank enough to Danny to give him double, if Danny finish 2nd or 3rd, Loic wont get his Double. just insane season!

I would say the main difficulty in winning the World Cup Title (or anything else for that matter) is that everybody else is trying to beat you!

Very insightful i was actually just reading a thesis statement about how its extremely difficult to come first in events like this because if other people ride faster than you they will win instead

So he still riding the mullet or full 29?

jmhills (Sep 27, 2019 at 6:21)

Mixed wheels. It makes sense. He is not a tall guy and getting punched by your rear wheel kind of sucks.

Mullet. I like how he said he doesn't deserve it any more than Amaury - To me, they were tied - and Danny was the tie breaker. That's an ending to a WC season.

What about Danny Hart's seems like he was left in the dust that race.

swellhunter (Sep 28, 2019 at 13:01)

Danny's run was magical and should go down as an all time great on a very difficult track but I even think he would admit that the title race was a much bigger deal.

I was surprised not to see any Ku Klux Klan disguises amongst the public during the Snowshoe session. I mean: it was in West Virginia, the 2019`s most racist state in America that probably keeps `traditions` from its sulfurous past...
Inviting the MTB WC in the US is OK, but next time it could be smarter to do that in a more civilized state.

I know: nothing to do with L. Bruni, but I just wanted to put a mess

Oh please. How about the blatant racism and profiling and discrimination of middle eastern people YOUR country is known for and takes part in. There are bad actors everywhere. Let’s use biking as a way to bring people together not divide us more.

laxguy (Sep 27, 2019 at 10:51)

and you should be banned for intentionally trying to stir the shit. what a scumbag.

You are an idiot , you have no clue what your talking about, if you don’t have anything good to say , then be quite or at least try to come up with some truth

pistol2ne (Sep 29, 2019 at 7:46)

Smarter and more civilized like the suburbs of Paris?
