I remember watching MVP drop Nino on the final lap in Nové Město (I think that was the venue) and just feeling my jaw hit the ground. And possible shedding a few tears when Rissveds took #1. That's going to be a hard season to beat.

Yeah that was sweet! @pinkbike How about getting some more coverage on marathon XC events? Or better still bike changes, set up and tech briefs on the differences they make for those events?

The thumbnail of the video... says it all. THAT'S the spirit of the mountain bike, going down... and up, and having the lungs burning.
Can't wait to see the VDP put a monster attack in september in Les Gets

My friends who follow him in Cyclocross used to joke that the only time MVDP loses is when he does MTB, then the 2019 season happened and made him even more unbeatable.

I know it's not feasible, but it would be so awesome to see DH races with riders going at the same time. It makes for such an exciting race for viewers.

Now I miss Snowshoe even more.

Miscounting laps - brutal

Men shouldn't wear Lycra.

LeDuke (May 28, 2020 at 14:41)

Yes, they should intentionally make themselves slower by listening to the fashion police instead.

Thirty3 (May 28, 2020 at 16:23)

@LeDuke: nothing to do with fashion my friend, dudes look f*****g gross in spandex.

greg390 (May 28, 2020 at 17:34)

@Thirty3: spandex isn't for fashion statement .

@Thirty3: maby the problem is really that you like looking at the D

Thirty3 (May 29, 2020 at 3:27)

@clink83: Compare and contrast who you would rather see and who looks better in Lycra, a dude or woman. Mike levy or Sarah Moore?

clink83 (May 29, 2020 at 9:17)

@Thirty3: I really dont care because I dont spend my time trying to cover up my impulses with wanting to look at the D with homophobia.

@Thirty3: Dudes in spandex look like dudes in spandex. Also looks like 90% of serious male cyclists.

Who would I rather see you ask? Either, neither...No preference really. They would just look like cyclists in cycling kit to me.

It is literally the same clothing that nordic and alpine skiers, wrestlers, american football players(on their legs), swimmers, speed skaters, and other activities wear.

Having started road and mt bike racing at age 12 in 1990, it was the only type of clothing that made sense, and I got over being seen by my non-cycling peers in my cycling kit very quickly. If you can't handle seeing a human body in tight fitting clothing, sorry, perhaps some counseling is in order.

@clink83: the original comments was meant to be light hearted. But you are bringing up homophobia? Why bro? If you want to wear biker shorts knock yourself out. (-:
