 Fun seeing a dude on a burly trailbike being gapped by a woman on a bike with a 69 degree HA, 80m stem, super minimal tires etc. And there are plebs on here who think they could keep up with Nino.

 Give me an ebike and give Nino 2 flat tires and maybe I could keep up with him.

 @arphia: Give Pinkbike commenters an all mountain bike and see if they could keep up with Nino on his XC bike on just a descent section in any World Cup race. I bet 90% would get gapped. Put them on the same bike as Nino and it would be a total joke.

 It's creepy how this guy had the gopro pointed right at her ass the whole time.

 Thank you Red Bull and Pinkbike for bringing us cool videos like this and please keep em coming. Would love to see Cathro do a track walk/line analysis on the XC track.

 I enjoy seeing Ric cross over between the disciplines, I think he does a great job with the interviews and course previews. Generally speaking, all the great coverage by PB and partners this year on enduro, downhill, and xc is keeping me busy. Thanks so much to all who contribute to bring these photos and vids to us.

 Cool track, XC is really making a comeback and perhaps in reality more relevant to the riding that the majority of us mountain bikers actually enjoy

 Love these previews. Makes you totally re-think the tech and knar that XC courses are these days. Have to give huge props to all the riders who take this course at race speeds, that's another level of athleticism.
