Video: Wyn TV Finals - Maribor DH World Cup 2020 Round 1

 I agree man, I think there's some vulnerability in talking about this, in part for good reason, but at some level it is very objective, symptoms for a concussion are nothing to minimize or obfuscate, and you're right there does seem to be a tendency to conceal info that would be more explicit with reporting on a muscle/skeletal injury... I don't think you're asking too much for people to be more articulate and precise about this, if for no other reason than to set an example and a cultural standard in the best sport on the planet... I think things are moving in the right direction across the board, but being overly discrete about this stuff is not the right play

 I noticed that and I don’t get it. It’s like they expect you to read between the lines.

 Maybe legal issues. If the team manager talks about the possibility of a concussion on camera before and something happens in the race...

 @tabletop84: I suppose the medical team may not have confirmed anything yet at the point of interview.

 Probably out of respect for the injured individual.

 I also agree with this. The UCI should be the ones taking the lead on this to protect the riders. Maybe having a doctor on hand to evaluate riders after major head hits, making the calls about riding. I often think a BMXer Dave Mira who shot him self, and if that was related to CTE or not.

 It would be ignorant to believe there trying to hide a head injury from anyone considering Reece himself posted on IG that he broke his helmet and went into shock should be enough info for the masses. As well just because you hit your head doesn't mean you always get concussed. UCI has concussion protocols in place I believe, like how they do in sx and mx with baseline test prior to the season then do post crash testing to compare. On a side note, we're more at risk of CTE from sub-concussive impacts that we encounter on nearly every ride from hitting the ground or casing/over shooting a jump. Protect your noodle boys and girls

 @49thbiker: What would suggest they don't? They have protocols like that in place, there not required to tell us a thing if they don't want to unfortunately. Check his IG, not hiding anything.
Yes, Dave had CTE and it was a major factor in his suicide. I think about him often as well.

 @fumetsu: I agree, none of our business really. It's not much different then trying to slow down to look at a car accident on the highway. Hope all is well with Reece.

 I guess it's because he got disqualified in Leogang a couple years back, where he missed a pole on the stone drop right before the finish.

 @bashhard: I don't think he should spend time knocking another man's hustle. If he finished ahead of Angel would he care as much?

 I think it’s important to talk about stuff like that and he is not the only one ever being DSQ for going outside the track (Tahnee in Leogang for example). They should just handle it the same way, every time.

 Bernard 'Butthurt' Kerr

 Loris is a treasure. I always sit up for his low-key off-the-wall interviews.

 Was it Angel?

 For sure, but no need for Bernard to be so salty about it. He's always been one to speak his mind, but sometimes it's better to let someone think you're a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt.

 @acrossthec: following Bernard´s YouTube channel you can see he can be a bit of an idiot sometimes..

 Came to the comment section right after his interview.. I mean, wtf? Everybody saw it, the UCI made the decision, end of conversation. Being salty about only makes you sound like a douche. I know in dual slalom this would be a DQ in a blink of an eye, but that was not the case, so move on. Next time, just pedal harder

 @sadfusde: I can see where he is coming from as couple of years back he was DQ'd for a similar incident in Leogang, and the UCI need to be consistent with their rulings in order for fair racing. But it would seem the rule book needs some work to make things more clear.

 @oskimtb: sometimes?

 @wynmasters: that run should be DQ he literally blew the tape, went off course and didn't returned to continue from where he exited. No excuses, other riders have been DQ for similar actions.

 @Puddings: i was trying to put it nice..

 But they all did a much better job thant after the WC. Wyn TV is the barometer of the Covid response. What can't Wyn do?

 Why should Maes be wearing a mask? He's teammates with Wyn and will be sharing the same space/bubble with him throughout the weekend.

 The UCI has these pre-done in advance of the season, for all the UCI Elite Teams

 @captain23: Really? I always wondered this too. I thought they just printed it on site.

 @captain23: that was my initial thought, but It seemed like to much foresite on the UCI's part to do such a thing haha

 and?
