 From reddit: “Update on Jess Blewitt after her horrible crash. Jess has a broken femur requiring surgery. She also has a broken collarbone, wrist , cracked rib & two small cracks in her lower back fortunately none of which require surgery.”
Hope the bill doesn’t kill her funds since it’s the usa..

 I kept thinking there was some kind of messed up joke. They kept saying blew-it. Like she messed up and just blew it. Wasn't till later I realized it was her last name. She did blow it tho

Amazing performance on the bike in Snowshoe!

 I have a super boring question if anyone ultra fans could help.

This year Trek Factory Racing had 2 separate riders win World Cups in the Male Elite category - when, if ever, did this happen before?

 Old syndicate days? Or Commencal?
  • 11 0
 @IllestT: Syndicate have done it even as recently as last year with Loris at Maribor (x2) and Greg at Lousa!

A few more from the top of my head…

- Syndicate again in 2015 with Greg at Fort William and Ratboy winning Mont Sainte Anne.

- Specialized in 2014 with Troy at Fort William and Gwin winning chainless at Leogang.

- Syndicate in 2009 with Greg (South Africa, Fort Bill) and Peaty (La Bresse and Andorra)

 Epic finale to what has been an incredible World Cup season. So unpredictable….who’d have thought that Pompon would crash on one of the flattest corners on the track after making the rough stuff look like nothing?
Then Loris going off track too!

Sending healing vibes to Jess Blewitt after her brutal crash. Broken femur, collarbone and wrist!
